The Iconic 1978 Datsun 280z. This show winner 280z is an original example of this classic car that drives great and looks great. Garage kept for 35 years, all documents and receipts from day 1, this car serviced by Rob at The Z Car Garage in San Jose California "one of the nicest 280Z I have seen!". This no-rust car was repainted the original silver 10 years ago and look just like new today, no modifications, seats recovered in 2012 original black leather. The engine and 4-speed manual transmission are strong at 105,766 miles with newer tires and brakes and a recent $2,340 top to bottom service by Z Car Garage in Feb. 2013 (gas tank cleaned out, tank painted & new fuel pump, alterantor and battery installed, tune-up, etc). This 280z won 1st place in the 280Z category at the 2012 Z-Car Nationals in Los Angeles (sponsored by MotorSports). This 1978 280Z is the last year Datsun built the first generation Z's and this car has the larger 2.8L Boshe fuel injection engine, with no-rust, this makes a great collector car "as is". 280Z are becoming more collectable and prices are rising. This car is one of the best original examples you will find and is Hagerty Valued at $13,875 (see Hagerty evaluation link below). This car has a dealer installed moon roof that opens, dealer installed side kick plates, comes with custom car cover, inset rear lovers (not on car now), clear headlight covers (not on car now). I can arrange shipping anywhere. Please watch the videos and enjoy the pictures and contact me with further questions.

Obviously, this car is well cared for and runs solid, but is sold "as is" and no warranty. I suggest you view the car prior to purchase located in Sacramento, CA 95823 or ask question prior to purchase. Known issues with the car is the car clock on the dash board does not keep accurate time, minor wear on driver door seal, power antenna stopped working and is now used as a manual antenna, small crack on the center console, small vinyl patch on drive door. These issues are low cost fixable items. The engine is strong and has even compression over cylinders (in Feb. 2013 per Z Car Garage), and has a new battery and new fluids. Thanks for viewing and happy bidding.

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.
Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun
Tue, 05 Feb 2013You can add Fiat to the admittedly short list of automakers considering a low-cost brand to rival Dacia. The inexpensive Eastern European brand from Renault-Nissan has performed on the balance sheet like a premium model line, and the money the alliance is taking off the table is encouraging other players to deal themselves in. Pretty soon Nissan's Datsun sub-brand will join the Dacia party, going on sale in Russia, Indonesia and India and will claim even more rubles, rupiahs and rupees for the parent company. Volkswagen recently said it will make a decision this year on a budget line for the Chinese market. With the euthanasia of Lancia and plans to move the Fiat brand upmarket, company CEO Sergio Marchionne wonders aloud to Automotive News Europe whether there could be room for a new budget brand underneath Fiat.
We're told that the initiative has been in the idea box for five years and even moved to the stage of name considerations, like Innocenti, but worries about profit kept it from realization. If such a range were to be developed, Marchionne says it couldn't be built in Italy and stay within budget, and the company is "analyzing its manufacturing capacity outside of Europe to see if a low-cost brand is viable."
