This listing is for a 1970 datsun 240Z rolling body shell with clear Pa. title. The previous owner decided to part the car out, but in my opinion the car deserves to be saved. Basically, what you see, less certain items, is what you get. This was a silver, four speed, air conditioned car. Missing, is the engine, transmission, windshield, drivers door, rear hatch, interior, steering column, dash, and misc. trim. What you get is a rolling shell,complete with air conditioning unit, including air pulley from engine, four speed pedal assembly, wheels and tires, front and rear suspension, both front fenders, hood, and complete air conditioning assembly, and radiator. There is no brakes, but car rolls and steers by front wheels. This car has sat for a few years, but was partially restored with new rear quarters, and rocker panels. I am selling the car as-is where-is with no warrenty intended. I will help with loading, and title transfer. This car would be an excellent donor for a wrecked, or abused 240Z. This particular model was also popular with the GTO ferrari kit car, plus this was an original air conditioned car. If you have any questions, call, if I don`t answer, leave message, and I will call you back after 9;00pm est. My number is 724 678 1249, and my name is Skip

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:

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.

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.
