You are bidding on a meticulously cared for 1983 280ZX, automatic, 2+2. I am the third owner with 425,000 miles on the chassis, but you'd never know it looking at this baby! Two years ago, I stripped the interior to metal and installed Fat Mat on all metal surfaces to reduce road noise and ambient temperatures. Then installed new carpet and new floor mats. Has the original dash board and believe it or not, it IS NOT CRACKED!!! There is an upgraded Hi-Definition Radio with hands-free Bluetooth as well as new speakers. As you will see in the pictures, the interior is easily a 9 out of 10.

The exterior is in amazing shape for a vehicle that has traveled over 400,000 miles. Nope, that's not a typo. I bought this car from the family of the second owner, a race car driver who lived in southern California. This Z was his pride and joy and he often drove it for trips to northern California. In the 3+ years I've had it, I've driven this car throughout the state of Florida for car events and car shows. It has never left me stranded or disappointed. It always cranks on the first try and is a blast to drive!This car is being sold with all the receipts going back to the very first owner.

In addition, I am including a car cover and front bra.

Bads: Not much. There is a small amount of rust just now forming on front lip of the hood. Due to its location, it is really easy to miss, but I've included a picture. Other than that, this a rust-free car having only been in California and Florida. The brake light is lit on the dashboard, but the emergency brake is functioning properly, brake fluid is fine, brake pads are fine. Perhaps a relay or sending unit. he A/C was rebuilt two years ago by a Z shop in town, but it isn't currently blowing cold. The cruise control is not working. Otherwise, all windows, locks, mirrors, lights, gauges, clock, etc. work fine.

More pictures and a walk-around video with the engine running can be found at my Photobucket link. Email me and I'll send you the link.

Please ask any questions before bidding. I will answer them as quickly as possible. Winning bidder must deposit $500 via paypal within 48 hours of auction close. Good luck.

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 officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

In 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.

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:
