including paint!! Do your research on the limited edition Black Pearls... roughly 1000 were produced... 1978 only.
This rare Z was in loved by a single enthusiast owner and meticulously maintained with extensive original
documentation! The car is fresh out of 25 year storage... completely unmolested... fully serviced, itlooks runs and
drives excellent. It retains its unmodified matching numbers drivetrain, body panels, and original paint and
interior... all in excellent condition It retains the majority of its factory parts and factory undercoating. Super
straight and clean. It is an excellent runner/driver with no squeaks, rattles or funny business!. I am a serious Z
collector... It is extremely RARE to find an all original Black Pearl in this condition. I have never seen one as
original and clean as this one. Unused jack and spare... all original window sticker and dealer invoices... keys,
etc etc... this in as investment grade car. This little Z would be an awesome weekend cruiser, daily driver, or
addition to any collection.

The body is completely rust free and straight. Frame, floors, and chassis are totally solid... underside is super

bucket from a crack repair and the hood from chips... it presents amazingly well with some minor blemishes and a
bit of patina... rear hatch has some fading but for a 40 year old all original paint Z the car is fabulous.

a full face molded cover I will install if wanted. Drivers seat has just a little stress. Gauges, lights, and
electronics all work properly INCLUDING the clock!! Dealer installed cassette deck still works great as does the
power antenna , warning lights, buzzers, etc.

Original L28 motor was removed and professionally rebuilt with warranty... I installed a spare motor in the
meantime to shake down all the other service issues from being in storage so long. I will have the original engine
reinstalled in a detailed engine bay or buyer can have the car as is with the original motor on the side. Currently
the car starts idles and runs fantastic... has great power and sounds good. 5 speed Trans shifts smooth and strong
through the gears!! Suspension feels tight and provides excellent ride and brakes stop straight and sure. Strong,

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

There'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.

Malaise Era All-Stars

Fri, 17 May 2013

A 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:
