The glass is all original, but was etched in the 80's as it was commonplace to do so. I think it adds to it's originality and authenticates it's era."

First time ever on the market, this stunning 280ZX has only 39,000 original documented miles, and was purchased out of a private Z collection. That's correct, only 39,000 original miles!!!!! A true survivor, almost completely original...This Z is a real car inside and out, and is investment quality in every aspect. Just serviced at a Nissan dealership, she is mechanically sound, fires right up and purrs like a kitten. Fresh Yokohama tires, new battery, and correct oil was oil this incredible throwback needed to make it road ready. Documented with the original history of maintenance and repair orders from the dealer, the original windowsticker, a sales and purchase agreement from 1999, original books and keys, a certified appraisal back in 2008 and previous registrations. I drove this car personally, and it is an absolute joy to drive!!  Just as tight as a 39,000 original well kept car should be~~~ Or maybe you want to continue to store her for a future Barrett Jackson sale, it's entirely up to you!  This is a pretty loaded car, with an original MSRP of $12457 back in 79!! Optioned up with factory air conditioning, two tone paint, aluminum wheel option, luxury package option, pushbutton am/fm stereo, power windows, power steering, cruise control, rear wiper washer, cloth upholstery, raised letter radials, computer sensor system, power mirrors, door map pockets, and yes, it is a stick!  The original brown on the two tone paint option was beginning to show it's age, so it was professionally painted in 2010 to give it back its showroom luster. The rest of the paint is all original and in excellent condition to match the new paint.  If you have any questions, please feel free to email me or call me, I will be happy to talk with you at 860-601-0236.  Thanks for your interest, and good luck! Again, if you are a Z lover or collector, I reiterate that this particular car has never been on the market before.  It has not seen the auction circuit, has not been listed on the internet sites or forums. Don't miss it!

Datsun expands low-cost revival with new Mi-Do in Moscow [w/video]

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

Those who were disappointed when Datsun changed its name to Nissan over three decades ago may have been pleased to see the marque revived last year, even as a budget brand. Nissan's counterpart to its ally Renault's Dacia budget brand, Datsun has been steadily expanding its lineup of low-cost transportation for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback in India, the Go+ minivan in Indonesia and the On-Do sedan in Russia. And now it has returned to Moscow to reveal its fourth model, the Mi-Do.
Based closely on the On-Do sedan (which itself is based on the Lada Granta) the Mi-Do takes on a five-door hatchback bodystyle but with no more frills. It uses the same front-drive chassis with the same wheelbase as the sedan, but its chopped tail makes it a good foot and a half shorter overall. Into that compact shape, Datsun has fitted dual airbags, ABS and... well, that's about it. It's got a 1.6-liter, eight-valve inline-four kicking out a grand total of 87 horsepower to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. Bare bones, this is.
While delivery of the first On-Do sedans commences next month (with the first example going to an IT specialist in Omsk), the Mi-Do is set to begin delivery early next year. Scope out the video and press release below from the Mi-Do's reveal at the Moscow Motor Show.

Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

A 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.
