1979 Nissan 280zx Chevy Chevrolet 350 Conversion No Reserve on 2040-cars
Henderson, Nevada, United States
|
Up for auction is a 1979 Nissan 280ZX with a 350 Chevy conversion and ground effects package. My brother bought this car in Virginia (with my money!!) as a cool project, and did a lot of work on it until loosing his garage. I brought the car here to Las Vegas where it is currently located, but I just have too many other projects, and do not have the time or resources to complete this Z. As stated above, the car has a clear Virginia title, and is registered (with a Virginia tag), insured, and occasionally driven. The 350 conversion was complete when my brother bought the car, and appears to have been professionally well done. The car really pulls strong. The motor has camelback double hump heads, a 2-row 1 1/4 inch aluminum radiator with electric fan, transmission cooler, crane roller rockers, electric fuel pump, Holly single pump dual feed 3310 750cfm carb, GM HEI distributor, chrome alternator and bracket and water pump pully, polished aluminum 350Z valve covers, Edelbrock performer intake, and headers with glass packs. The car also has 4 wheel disc brakes, and Hankook Ventos V4ES tires that look to be almost new, a B&M Star shifter, Panasonic stereo, and a newly professionally re-covered dash with all new Autometer gauges (the gauges alone were over $1000). The car fires right up, runs, drives and stops as it should. I would rate the paint as a 6 on a scale of 1 to 10, but it hasn't been color sanded or buffed, and I think that would get it up to a 7 or 8. The seats, door panels, and headliner are in good shape, and the carpet looks to be fairly recent. The interior is missing some plastic pieces, but I think that the parts that I have taken a separate picture of will cover most of what is needed. There is no heater or A/C. The underside of the car shows some rust, and the frame rails have the typical ZX rot and need work. I just noticed that the rear tail lights and turn signals do not work, but I will try to fix these if I have a few minutes, since they were working a couple of months ago. As mentioned, the Autometer gauges are all new, and work properly except for the fuel gauge and the speedometer. I think there is a sender issue with the fuel gauge, and I do not know why the speedo doesn't work since everything appears to be proper. I listed the mileage as zero because the odometer did not work when my brother bought the car, and the actual mileage is unknown. The new Autometer odometer currently reads zero. There is no spare tire. My cell phone number is 770-330-8539 (Jerry) if you have any questions. There is no reserve after the low opening bid (the gauges and dash are worth the opening bid), which means this Z is gonna sell. A $250 deposit is required within 24 hours after the auction end, and payment in full with car pickup is required within 7 days of the auction end. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.

Jay Leno checks out Nissan IDx Nismo, spiritual successor to classic Datsun 510
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Jay Leno may not be spending his night behind the Tonight Show desk anymore, but he's clearly not done rolling precious metal into his garage, intent on putting it through its paces after a thorough investigation. The latest machine to meet Jay on his home turf is the Nissan IDx Nismo Concept that we first saw at the Tokyo Motor Show late last year.
Leno already has love for the classic Datsun 510, which plays a cameo in the video that you'll see below, and he refers to the IDx as the spiritual successor to that car's ethos - driving fun in an affordable package. Fortunately for us, while the IDx is a showcar first and foremost, it is indeed driveable, and Leno, naturally, takes his turn behind the wheel.

Recharge Wrap-up: Fiat 500X emissions, Japan EV sales down
Thu, Feb 11 2016The Fiat 500X exceeds EU emissions limits, according to environmental lobby group DUH. In dyno tests, DUH found NOx emissions in the diesel-powered 500X to be 11 to 20 times the limit with a warm engine, but closer to the limit with a cold engine. Testing of vehicles from Fiat and other automakers "point towards defeat devices," says DUH campaigner Axel Friedrich. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) offered no comment in response to the accusations. Read more from Reuters. A UK study finds that about 20 percent of the benefits from fuel efficient vehicles are negated by a tendency for people to drive them more. The study, which covers the years 1970 to 2011, finds a significant "rebound effect," when consumers use more of a cheaper energy source. It suggests these drivers drive more not because of the fuel efficiency, but because of the lower operating costs. "Until now, we didn't know the size of this effect for British motoring," says Dr. Lee Stapleton, Research Fellow for the University of Sussex Centre on Innovation and Energy Demand. "We found evidence of a significant, long-term rebound and expect our results to be of interest for public policy." Read more at Green Car Congress. Japanese EV sales have declined for the first time ever. Sales of electric vehicles slid 22 percent in 2015, leaving them at the same levels as 2012. Low gasoline prices are to blame, as well as the late arrival of the updated Nissan Leaf, which caused potential customers to hold off on their purchase. This allowed the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV to take the lead as Japan's best selling EV. The Toyota Prius Plug-In came in third place in EV sales, with the BMW i3 close on its heels.
