Houston, Texas, United States
This recently restored 1971 Datsun 240Z is one of the nicest Zs you will find. No expense was spared in its restoration.
Completely media-blasted, every nut and bolt was removed and restored or replaced with new. No rust. Has not seen a wet road in the past two years. All new urethane bushings everywhere. Front airdam. Dynamat was installed inside and the “dirty” side was undercoated. New NOS dash and taillights, Z Therapy carbs on the rebuilt and stock 2.4L engine. (Not a matching number car, as the original engine was destroyed due to a tuning mishap.) An ’82-’83 5-speed and R200 3.90 differential is installed. Runs like a new car. No surprises. Car equipped with power windows, power locks, air conditioning, new retractable seat belts, tinted windows, outside mirror upgrade. New interior. Headlight relay harness installed. Rare manual throttle on console. Toyota truck brake (front) upgrade. Stock suspension and period correct wheels, not lowered or modified. Original radio in place. Modern radio in glove box, but not connected to speakers; speaker wires under the carpet but not connected to speakers. Speakers come with car. Approximately 118,000 miles on chassis and 1,000 miles on engine. VIN: HLS30 15653 Build Date: 12/1970 I have owned this car for a bit over two years, but it’s time to move on. The winning bidder will not be disappointed with his “new” Z. |

Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]
Wed, 18 Sep 2013The Datsun name may have long since been replaced by Nissan, but the old brand is making a comeback - in certain markets, at least.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.
Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A 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:

Roadkill pits every project car against each other
Sat, 22 Feb 2014The 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.
