This car was disassembled with the hopes of making a street legal car for Lime rock type races. The engine was all reworked, there is a new transmission, the rear end was reworked and rebuilt, new calipers, and loads of other work by a professional automotive machine shop. It was all paid for by the guy's grandmother. He left and never finished the car. It was running and driveable when my cousin put in in his garage. The new work has basically 0 miles. It now needs a fuel pump. It is not a turbo. The bills include things like : New exaust system-$297, Labor to rebuild and overhaul engine $1200, machine shop labor $2015, new transmission $2600, cluch pressure plate $100, and on and on to over $9000. The interior and body parts are here but it needs restoration of them. The windshield is not here. The car may be best used by putting the new parts in a worn out car. The owner is my cousin who is moving south but I get the car if it doesn't sell because he owes me cash. I would rather the cash so the car is for sale. It has to be picked up in Grafton Ma. Any questions can be answered by calling 508-987-5155. It is for sale locally so I reserve the right to remove the listing at any time. A deposit of $200 is required to pay pal within 24 hours and cash upon pickup. There is NO RESERVE so the car will sell once the minimum price is reached. Bidders with less that 5 feedbacks and less than 6 months on e-bay will be blocked unless they call me first so I understand that they know what they are doing.

Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster
Tue, 28 Jan 2014A 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.

Datsun reveals new On-Do budget sedan in Russia [w/video]
Tue, 08 Apr 2014When 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.
