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 reveals new On-Do budget sedan in Russia [w/video]

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

When Nissan revived the Datsun brand name, it essentially hit the "undo" button on the rebranding it undertook decades ago. But this time, the Datsun name is being used solely as a budget brand for developing markets. The reborn marque launched in India this past July with its Go hatchback, returned in September with the Go+ minivan and revealed the Redi-Go concept just last month. And now it's back again with the new On-Do sedan.
Launched in Moscow by CEO Carlos Ghosn, the On-Do was designed and engineered in Japan specifically for the Russian market - Nissan's fifth largest worldwide - where it will be built at the AvtoVaz plant in Togliatti. Decidedly budget-oriented, the Datsun On-Do is a four-door, five-seat econo-box measuring 172 inches long, 67 inches wide and 60 inches tall with an 18.7 cubic-foot trunk which Datsun describes as class-leading. Punctuating an otherwise bland shape is a large front grille and lighting front and rear that looks (and very well might be) bigger than the wheels.
Not that the Datsun On-Do needs a big contact patch to transfer power to the road: motivation is provided by a 1.6-liter engine with a grand total of - wait for it... wait a little longer - 87 horsepower. Which might strike you as a reasonable amount of muscle, considering the 400,000 rubles Datsun is getting for the On-Do (but consider that translates to about $11,300). That's a couple grand more than what Nissan gets for the Micra in that other giant northern country, or about the same amount it gets for the Versa in the US (which sells in Russia for 499k in rubles) - both of which are powered by what is in all likelihood the same 1.6-liter four but producing 109 hp. Of course Russia has different tax rates than the United States or Canada, but with such little power, the Datsun would fall into Russia's lowest tax bracket.

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:
