1978 Datsun 280z, Brown, Excellent Condition In And Out, 2nd Owner, 115,600 Mile on 2040-cars
Ben Lomond, California, United States
I bought this car from a friend who was the original owner and took immaculate care of it. They never put anything but premium gas in it and were obsessive about its maintenance. It was just sitting in their garage so they had to let it go for space. I have put equal care into it since I have had it. Took it to a shop that specializes in Z's for a complete inspection right after getting it. The mechanic said it is one of the nicest, best maintained 280 Z's he has ever seen. I just replaced the tires that had been on the car since 1997! So why am I selling it? I bought it cause they are friends and made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I love this car and am very disappointed I cannot hang on to it. I commute many miles 6 days a week. It is my only transportation. I don't want to put these kind of miles on it and I can't afford to keep it as my project car, so I have decided I must let it go and get something less sexy and fun, but more practical. If you have been looking for an awesome Z this is it! Good luck bidding.

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:

Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]
Mon, 15 Jul 2013In March of 2012, Nissan announced the return of its historic Datsun brand. Datsun used to represent the Nissan brand in a number of markets, but its badge hasn't been worn on a new model since 1981. In 2013, though, it has been relaunched as the Japanese manufacturer's budget offering in the emerging markets of India and Russia.
The model that will lead that charge, at least in India, is the Go, a car that pays tribute to the very first Datsun, the DAT-GO.
The operative term with the Datsun brand is: "budget offering." Don't step inside the Go and expect beautiful hides or brushed metals (it's being sold in India, after all). The instrument cluster features a simple speedometer, while the five-speed manual and the center stack above it are rather barren. It's not without luxuries, though, as iPod-style connectivity is available through a Mobile Docking Station.
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.
