Boston, Massachusetts, United States
This is a nicely done Custom 280Z V8 conversion in really nice, low mile restored condition. Classic Z car has been
professionally converted and customized... ready for daily driver, cruises, or local shows. All the custom work
including body, interior, drivetrain, and suspension have been redone professionally. This Z is great all around.
Looks, runs, feels, and drives awesome... FAST and smooth. Excellent weekend cruiser, daily driver, or addition to
any collection.
Body is straight with no rust or collision damage that I can see. Fit and finish are very nice. Driver quality
custom repaint presents beautifully with minor blemishes. Seams and rubbers are great. Underside is clean with
original undercoating. This is a driver!!
Interior is in nice condition as well. Panels, carpet, and headliner all look great...Custom seats fit and feel
great. Dash has a nice cover. Fully insulated, feels quiet and tight. Electronics work properly. Custom tach
installed... speedo not hooked up but I'll try to take care of that this week.
BEST PART... rebuilt chevy 350 V8 Motor starts, runs, and idles excellent... performance enhancements but built for
daily driver relaiability, Super responsive and nicely tuned. Rebuilt 3 speed Auto Trans shifts smooth through the
gears. Car has great street manners and is FAST!!!... Super fun to drive!! Sounds mean but not obnoxious through
custom exhaust. Suspension feels tight and handles excellent. Goes down the road straight with no wiggles,
shimmies, or shakes... Stops straight and sure. EXCELLENT, FAST driver.
Overall this is a Super nice Custom Z in great condition all around... it is extremely well preserved. Awesome
weekend cruiser, show car, or addition to any collection. I am a Z collector... this is a great one for any Z car
enthusiast, collector, or anyone looking for a cool, original vintage sports car at a great price.

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.
First new Datsun in decade sketched, set for Indian reveal
Mon, 01 Jul 2013Nissan's Datsun nameplate revival will begin with two models bound for the Indian market. Nissan has released sketches of a five-door hatchback based on the Micra (codenamed K2) and a top-down view of a hood that could potentially be from a sedan.
The company's press release says all will be revealed on July 15 in New Delhi, India. The Datsun lineup will be first offered in 2014 to that country's ride-deprived residents as well as Indonesia and Russia. Later in 2014, South Africa will join the list.
We've heard Nissan plans for Datsuns to share platforms with company-owned Lada. In January, we heard the projected price tag could be around $3,000 USD to compete with Chinese imports. The official press release (which can be read in full below) says nothing about either of these reports, however.
Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
