1983 Datsun 280ZX T Tops



Up for auction a nice clean unmolested 280ZX and if you are
looking for a RUST FREE T TOP Z car, look no futher !!
This is a 1 owner car, bought new here in Tucson Az
back in 83 and has only had 1 owner its whole life. Its been
well kept up by the original owner and in the last 10 yrs
its been more of a 2nd car and mostly only used when they
where in town which was only part of the yr.
A binder full of invoices and receipts will come with the
Z too showing almost all the work etc done over the yrs. 
Receipts from std oil changes to recent brake work and new
injectors, back stuff done 10 yrs ago.
The car shows aprox 116k which could be original
The original owner kept pretty good records too that 
come with car. And its a nice original un restored Z.
Which with a little interior work, would be a great car.
Paint is original Az faded, but for a driver, its fine.
The cars been a 2nd car for most of its life which explains
the low miles which we think are original .
Being an AZ CAR,  this is a and always has been a rust free
example what most people only wish they had for a 30 yr old Z.
The chrome on both bumpers is in amazing shape.
No pitting or rust - and they are straight on.
Check out our feedback - feel comfortable buying from
someone like us with GREAT large pics in our ads and
GREAT FEEDBACK helping You be more comfortable to decide
to bid on our cars.
Ive been driving the car around now for the last week
almost daily and it has plenty of power, starts and runs
great every time and is a fun to drive esp with the T TOPS off.

Its still a 30 yr old NON RESTORED original Z and that being said
its a great weekend car or daily driver as is, and wouldnt take
much to finish the restoration if you wanted.

DRIVETRAIN: Original EFI L6  runs great with plenty of 
power in every gear.  Non turbo model in my opinion like
this car have less problems and plenty of power on hand.
ALL stock - un molested just the way Nissan built it.
This has been adult owned and driven its whole life.
Some minor oil leaks you may expect for an older car but
nothing leaving puddles or anything.
Trans feels good and some recent work in the last few yrs
has been: NEW CLUTCH KIT w/ machined flywheel / 
All 6 Injectors / and Front brakes too.
I believe it to be the original, matching #s even motor.

INTERIOR: Front seats AND Carpet where redone in the last
few yrs and are NEW ! Some other areas are 
Showing their age from the Az sun over a 30 yr span
but fine for a daily driver and would restore easily enough
in a weekend. Interior shows nice as is, and wouldnt need alot
to finish the restoration.
But again, this is all cosmetic and you could drive the car like
this for more yrs if you wanted to.
Glass is good, but the inside glass needs a good cleaning.
Window tint is old could use replacing soon.
AC all connected and worked last summer, but quit blowing
cold this yr. Heater core started to leak a few yrs ago and
is bypassed for now. Most people in Az rarely use the heat
anyway in our cars. Car may not come with the radio shown
in pics. It will come with original radio shown in the pics
but it wont be installed, seeing as most people want to put
in their own radio / stereo preference.  So there will be a
hole where the stock radio goes when the car shows up.
I just havent had time to take the aftermarket CD player
yet. IF you want me to leave it in, email me if you win the 
car and we can work out something.

SUSPENSION: Mostly all stock original down to the OE alloy rims
Feels good, but Im sure it will need some bushings if you
looked hard. But no weird noises, rear struts are NEW KYB.
 Tires decent, but nothing special. Some brake work recent.
(We also are a tire dealer, so if you want a new set of tires
installed on the car before taking delivery, let us know what
you want and we can price it out for you, installed.)

BODY: Really nice shape for its age. A few small dents and dings
here and there, but some are so small they are hard to see
in the pics. If you look close you can see a few dents on the pass
side. 1 on the door and a crease on the RF fender.
Hard to see in the pics. Ft valance is in decent shape.
I do know the front clip was repainted in the last few yrs prob
just from sun damage and age, but not sure exactly why.
All the areas where the fenders meet the aprons look good
and dont see any signs of previous damage or accidents.
The rear license plate light is missing in the pics, but thats
how we got it. I did buy a good used one for the car, just havent
installed it yet. Ill do it this week and add a pic of it .
As is you could drive it to local car events and the car would
still draw a crowd.

2014 Nissan Rogue

Fri, 01 Nov 2013

When I first started in this whole automotive journalism biz, I held a sort of hodgepodge receptionist/gopher/production assistant role, and each morning as the staff filed in, I'd ask them how they liked whatever car they were assigned to drive the previous night. Most of my colleagues would regale me with anecdotes about how good or bad a vehicle was, but one co-worker, every single morning, would answer my query with the exact same phrase: "It was fine."
I always assumed this was just a brush-off, an "ask me again after I've had a cup of coffee" sort of response. But then I found myself in a similar moment of brevity following the launch of the 2014 Nissan Rogue earlier this week. After returning home, a friend asked me what I thought of the new Rogue, and I replied, word for word, "It was fine."
And, well, it was. Nothing worth wasting exclamation points over, good or bad. Aside from something like the interesting-to-drive Mazda CX-5 or funky-looking Jeep Cherokee, nothing in this class really tries to set the world on fire. And that, right there, is fine. Nissan doesn't need to do anything crazy with its second-generation Rogue. It just needs to offer a well-equipped crossover that's handsome, functional, efficient and priced right - sticking to the same formula that made the first-generation model so successful while offering the latest crop of creature comforts in a more modern package.

Teen attempts car jump, hits windshield and lands on his feet

Tue, 11 Jun 2013

I've been compelled to do many things in or around a car, but jumping over one has never quite made the cut. That may be because I have all of the vertical lift of a manatee, but I digress. One enterprising young soul recently looked at a friend's Nissan Sentra and thought, "You know, I can totally leap right over that roof line."
By using what can only be described as Herculean feats of persuasion, he talked one young female friend into driving said Nissan straight for him at around 40 miles per hour while another stood by to film the lunacy. The plan went swimmingly right up until our would be compact-vaulter caught his foot on the hood and bounced into the windshield. Whoops.
But the story doesn't end with a trip to the emergency room. Our hero spun mid-air and actually managed to get his feet under him before coming back to Earth. Impressive. You can watch the hilarity for yourself below, but please, don't even think about trying this yourself.

Ghosn: 'We are getting there' on making Nissan Leaf profitable

Thu, Oct 2 2014

After 19 months in a row of record sales in the US, the money picture for the Nissan Leaf is steadily improving. To date (well, until the end of September), Nissan has sold 63,944 Leaf EVs in the US and a total of around 140,000 globally. The company produces the electric vehicle in three countries: Japan, the UK and the US and has sold more standard passenger EVs than any other automaker. Add all that up and you get to an EV that is just about to be profitable. "We are getting into positive, which is good for this technology." – Carlos Ghosn At least, it is according to Carlos Ghosn, the CEO of Renault-Nissan, who spoke to reporters at that Paris Motor Show this week. "We are getting there [to Leaf profitability]," Ghosn told Automotive News. "Are we amortizing and depreciating everything we have spent? No. But if you look at margin of profit – the direct cost of the car and the revenue of the car – we are getting into positive, which is good for this technology." Automakers are notoriously closemouthed when it comes to sharing specifics about the higher cost of alternative vehicle technologies compared to standard ICE vehicles. Still, statements like this – as well as a knowledge about how long it took Toyota to make money from the Prius and overall industry amortization – show that Nissan could well be sitting pretty when it comes to keeping EVs around for the long term. Given some of the other news we've heard recently, it's got to be nice to have some stability.
