Offered for your bidding is this 1980 Datsun 280ZX hardtop coupe in very good condition. A true Japanese sportscar classic, this particular 280 is a hardtop model (no T-tops) and comes with the original L28 2.8 liter inline 6 mated to a 5 speed manual transmission. Finished in the facrtory Rallye red with black pinstripe over original red crushed velour, this Z is cosmetically in very good condition with a few very minor blemishes - some paint has deteriorated under the gas filler opening, 2 nickel-sized dents on the roof, and some chipped paint on the driveers door edge. In terms of rust, this Z has solid floors and frame rails, showing only 1 small spot on the pass. side rear jack point pinch weld and a very small amount (1" long) under the pass. side windshield frame (see pictures). The paint is believed to be a quality re-paint done in the proper factory Rallye red color and is gorgeous when viewed in direct sunlight. The interior is also in very good condition-original and in-tact, the original seats are in fantastic condition with no rips or tears, all of the accessories work: power windows, power mirrors, cluster, odo., speedo., tach, fuel guage, oil press., volt meter, digital clock, even the original Hitatchi am/fm casette and speakers work! The head liner, glass, and carpets are in very good condition. There does seem to be a bit of sun-fade on the vinyl on the back of the seats, the drivers floor mat has a "heel hole" which does not go through to the floor carpet, and there is 1 crack in the upper surface of the dash (see picture).
Mechanically, this Z runs and drives great: no idle issues, full power without a miss from the fuel injected L28 inline 6-pulls strong and smooth to redline, buttery-smooth gear changes in all gears from the 5 speed, and not a hint of slippage from the clutch. The only thing I could fault in terms of driving performance are some of the rubber bushings in the suspension and the shock absorbers-they may be ready for replacement as the handling feels a touch "too compliant", but this car does not exhibit any dramatic handling issues - very comfortable on the highway at 85 mph. The tires look to have been replaced recently and the braking performance is good. This 280ZX can be driven daily and they are quite rare in this condition. I have a clean and clear MO. title in hand and I ask you to call me with any questions about this classic sportscar at 636 393 9371. Thanks for looking!

Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]
Mon, 15 Jul 2013In March of 2012, Nissan announced the return of its historic Datsun brand. Datsun used to represent the Nissan brand in a number of markets, but its badge hasn't been worn on a new model since 1981. In 2013, though, it has been relaunched as the Japanese manufacturer's budget offering in the emerging markets of India and Russia.
The model that will lead that charge, at least in India, is the Go, a car that pays tribute to the very first Datsun, the DAT-GO.
The operative term with the Datsun brand is: "budget offering." Don't step inside the Go and expect beautiful hides or brushed metals (it's being sold in India, after all). The instrument cluster features a simple speedometer, while the five-speed manual and the center stack above it are rather barren. It's not without luxuries, though, as iPod-style connectivity is available through a Mobile Docking Station.

Autoblog Podcast #339:
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.
