Livingston, New Jersey, United States
This is it! The ultimate z car! Just in time for those fall foliage rides!
1978 Datsun 280Z 5 Speed Manual Transmission Original numbers matching Fuel Injected Straight-6 cylinder engine Rust-Free! 140K miles Clean title. Factory A/C! COLD AC and hot heat! Straight body! Runs and drives great! Strong engine, smooth shifting transmission. Brakes and tires in very good condition. This is a real gem! Has been my daily driver since I bought it from the original owner, and it still drives like a dream. A clean original 280z with a 5 speed manual with working factory A/C that isn't rusted and still runs great is really hard to find in the northeast. This car has been well cared for, with a lot of improvements to make sure it performs at its best for years to come. PA inspected til 2015, currently located in northeast NJ. New: Original transmission was rebuilt ~10,000 miles ago. Shifts beautifully! New Clutch Starter Front suspension tie rods, tie rod covers, radial arms and radial arm bushings Stabilizer links and bushings Headlights Battery Alternator Intake Manifold Radiator Gaskets and Hoses Electrical connectors and wires Rotor cap Distributor Spark plugs and spark plug wires Fuses & Fusible links Radio with CD player Full undercoating Oil and fluids and filters changed regularly Original 240Z chrome sideview mirrors (including passenger side! Hard to find!) +Extra outer trim pieces, extra filters, fuses, original owners manual, etc. included! Paint is slightly oxidized and crackled in places. The original seats are starting to tear - I use seat covers, included. Reupholster them and put on a fresh coat of paint and you have a show car, or drive as is! This car is so much fun, not to mention a serious babe magnet. I had to switch to a 4-seater so now I'm hoping to pass on my dream car to someone else who will treat it well. Fly/train in and drive it home! Or come pick it up with a friend or trailer. CASH only, no trades, no lowballers, will not ship - local pickup only. I am listing this on other websites and reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time. |

Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:

Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster
Tue, 28 Jan 2014A quiet drive in the country can be the most relaxing thing in the world. What if it didn't have to end, and you could keep driving for a week, a month or even a whole year? That's what Scott Fisher is doing by taking a one-year sabbatical from work and driving his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster around North America.
"I had owned a manufacturing business in Las Vegas for 16 years. I knew I needed to kinda' get out, and unwind, and get my mojo back," said Fisher.
Fisher's trip has covered over 30,000 miles through 44 states and 7 Canadian Provinces, and it is not over yet. He left from his home in Las Vegas, NV, last spring and drove to the Pacific. From there, he drove up the coast to the Canadian border and aimed the car for the Atlantic. He just posted on his blog about visiting the Nissan headquarters and museum in Franklin, TN, and his next stops are Mississippi and New Orleans, LA.
Roadkill pits every project car against each other
Sat, 22 Feb 2014The guys behind Motor Trend's monthly Roadkill series have collected nine of their favorite project cars from their videos and pitted them against each other in a battle royale to determine a winner. It's 44 minutes long, but it's completely worth the investment of time.
The cars run the gamut from a 1973 Chevrolet Ramp Truck, a 1975 AMC Pacer and a legitimately impressive 1967 Chevy Camaro, and they are pitted against each other to see which is the fastest around an autocross course. The drivers include Roadkill's two hosts and Motor Trend's Johnny Lieberman and Carlos Lago. It's reminiscent of the best episodes of Top Gear and worth a watch.
So it's the weekend - the perfect time to relax. Grab your preferred beverage, get comfortable and enjoy 44 minutes of some seriously ratty but utterly cool project cars as they are throttled within an inch of their lives (or past it). Scroll down to check out the video.
