Description

In the next several weeks, we will be auctioning a number of scarce project cars that have been barn stored by a local collector / enthusiast for years. There are a number of cars that are fairly unique and rare, and are all in various stages of repair. Note that many of these are in need of a complete major restoration, and none are able to drive away. They do have clear titles and would be great projects for the right individual.

You are looking at an original 1976 Datsun 280Z Sport Coupe. Please scroll down and enjoy the 200+ photos. If you cannot view all the photos, please click here. 

It was our consignor's daily driver for many years before it developed a rod knock a few years ago: fair body, poor interior, bad floor pans, 4 speed, was very quick & handled like a go-cart , missing the radiator (criminal tenant a few years ago who stole a number of batteries & radiators). This car would make a good track or race car. It needs a complete major restoration.

Condition Report

Original car stored for year in barn. This car is in need of a restoration or recondition and has not been turned over or ran in years. Title and keys included, probably not for the weekend restorer but better than many of the other cars. Tires have some dry rot. Please see photos and description for complete details on vehicle condition.

Additional Details:

We cannot warranty any parts and as with any vintage vehicle, they are always a project in some way. Collector cars are many times temperamental and reliability can be a factor on some. We also did not test any accessory or feature.

To be clear, this vehicle is a project car or for parts. It does not run and the condition of any component is unknown. The automobile needs to be transferred on a trailer to the destination. The title is free and clear, and we are also requiring a bill of sale be signed by the new owner stating this car is being purchased as-is as a project car. 

Please call our store at (414) 727-0600 for additional information on this vehicle. Best of all, we are selling this beauty with NO RESERVE, but do reserve the right to end the auction early as it is for sale locally. Good luck in the auction.

Roadkill pits every project car against each other

Sat, 22 Feb 2014

The 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.

Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

The Datsun name may have long since been replaced by Nissan, but the old brand is making a comeback - in certain markets, at least. Nissan relaunched the Datsun brand in July as its new budget brand for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback, and has now followed up with the addition of the larger Go+.
Set to be built in Indonesia at Nissan's plant in Purwakarta, the Go+ debuts today in the capital of Jakarta as the second model in the new Datsun lineup. The seven-passenger minivan features flexible seating in a compact form 13 feet long, powered by an unspecified 1.2-liter engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
Nissan isn't saying much else about the model, but hopes the new Datsun twins will account for half of its sales in Indonesia within three years. The low price target for both models - set to come in at less than 100 million rupiah ($8,700) - ought to help it get there. The lineup is then scheduled to reach other markets, starting with India, Russia and South Africa next year.

Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

Nobody does cars on the cheap quite like the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The former part of the equation already has its Dacia brand of cost-effective, no-frills vehicles that have become a favorite of Top Gear co-host James May, and last summer, the latter revived its Datsun nameplate for a budget brand of its own.
The reborn Datsun 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 given us our first look at an upcoming budget sedan developed specifically for the Russian market.
The as-yet unnamed vehicle (which we'll bet will incorporate the word "go" into its nameplate somehow) is set to debut on April 4, where it will launch the Datsun brand in Russia. Few details are available at this point, but the low-cost sedan was designed in Japan to offer Russian drivers "an engaging driving experience, peace of mind ownership and accessibility at the right and transparent price, with a competitive Total Cost of Ownership."
