Up for sale is a 1978 Datsun 280Z that has been professionally customized into a one of kind soft top convertible. I have owned countless Z-cars throughout my years of owning a Z-car specialty repair shop and this was one of my personal projects. Due to health reasons and retirement, I am selling it without it being 100% / show-room finished.
The car starts, runs, and stops strong. It has the original 2.8L Nissan motor, 5 speed transmission, factory A/C, aftermarket stereo, original interior (dashboard, cloth seats, carpet, etc) The soft top does need to be replaced. Paint is not perfect. Has the necessary sub-frame underneath for the additional reinforcement.
This car is not fully restored and would be a perfect project car for someone to put the finishing touches on. Car will run and drive strong, but has imperfections.
Car is located in Tampa, Florida and can be shipped nationwide at buyer's expense. I have shipped cars all across the nation and am comfortable doing it. This car has no reserve and will sell! Good luck bidding! For additional information, feel free to give me a call at 813-309-2343 - Brent.

Datsun to unveil second model later this month
Sun, 08 Sep 2013Datsun, Nissan's new sub-brand for emerging markets, has announced plans to unveil its second model. Its first, the Go, was unveiled almost two months ago, and promised affordable, connected motoring for five in a handsome hatchback body. Datsun is following that up with a pair of new models for Indonesia.
The first of these two new vehicles will be shown on September 17 in Jakarta, eschewing the typical auto show debut. It's targeted at so-called "risers," the nickname for a group of highly aspirational customers in the Indonesian market. Datsun developed it locally with help from Nissan, and it'll cost under 100 million Indonesian rupiah (about $8,900 at today's rates).
We'll have the full boatload of information on the newest member of the Datsun family when it debuts on September 17. Scroll on to read the full press release from Datsun.
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.
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:
