Up for sale is a very nice 1973 Datsun 240Z. It has a March 1973 build date, which is when Datsun set about making some improvements to the electronics, wiring, and chassis. The car only has 26,500 miles! Drivetrain: L24 E88 Head Ported and Machined MSA Stage 3 Camshaft HP Cylinder Machined Arizona Z Car Intake Manifold Holley 390 Carburetor MSA Long Tube Headers 2.25" Mandrel Bent Stainless Exhaust 2.5" Flowmaster Muffler Pertronix Ignitor Ignition Pertronix Flamethrower Coil 8 mm Spark Plug Wires NGK BPES Spark Plugs 2 Row Aluminum Radiator 5-speed from a 280Z New Clutch Master Cylinder Fuel Pressure Gauge Suspension and Brakes: Eibach 1.5" Lowering Springs New OEM Shocks and Struts MSA Sway Bar Kit Eurethane Bushing Kit 16x7" Centerline Corona Wheels 4 205/50/16 Continental ExtremeContact DW Tires (NEW) Upgraded 15/16" Master Cylinder New Brake Lines Upgraded Front Brakes Body: Mercedes Blue Color (Bahama Blue) Fiberglass Bumpers (small ones) MSA Type 1 Fiberglass Front Air Dam Rustproof Material Painted onto Underbody Black Engine Bay Custom Chrome Bullet Mirrors Shaved Side Markers Misc: MOMO Steering Wheel MOMO Steering Wheel Hub Corbeau TRS Seats Custom Black and Blue Vinyl Upholstery Schroth Harness New Carpets and Weatherstripping New Battery MSA Cupholder Center Console Rebuilt Turn Signal and Headlight Switch (These go bad, this one has been completely rebuilt and should be good for quite some time. I also have two spares which I can sell with the car.) Flaws: - Very small amount of surface rust on front left fender. Needs to be sanded down and repainted. -Carb needs a better tune. I can sell you the vacuum gauge to tune the idle mixture for a low price. -Dash is cracked as it always is on these cars, but it comes with a very nice molded cover and looks factory. -Speedometer reads the wrong speed. -Tachometer doesn't work. It needs to be converted to the later 280Z speedometer to work with the electronic ignition. I have the tachometer and will include it with the car. Overall, it's a great car. It does have some flaws which are listed, but they are all minor and don't impede the driving experience or cause too much of a problem. I've been driving it as is and have had no issues. The title on this vehicle is rebuilt. I got the car with a salvage title and turned it into a rebuilt after going through a tedious inspection in Florida. The body is straight, the car tracks true, and it has never been in an accident. The reason for the rebuilt title is because the car has been purchased from a junkyard in 1992 and was saved from getting destroyed. I will be including all the documentation I have for the vehicle. My reason for selling is because I am looking for a different type of classic vehicle, preferably American muscle. Text or call Leo at 904-993-5659 with any questions.

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There'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.
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:

This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair
Wed, 12 Nov 2014The Datsun 240Z got a lot of things right when it was introduced, with handsome styling, strong performance and a reasonably affordable price. And while the coupes grew a strong fan base in the US, they remained quite a rarity in the UK. Decades later, a father and son in England have latched onto the car and bonded over their shared love for two completely opposite takes on this Japanese GT
There's already quite a collection of exotics in Mel Streek's garage, and his rat rod 240Z, which he calls the Ratsun, definitely doesn't fit with the rest. On the outside, the Datsun looks ready to fall apart, but it's mechanically perfect underneath. Alternatively, Mel's son, Ollie, has a completely different take for his Z with its perfect, shining paint.
Both Zs sound amazing, though. They have a mechanical, somewhat course exhaust note that's intoxicating to hear. You can definitely tell there's some work going on under the hood. Check out this video from Petrolicious for a father and son who both find something to love in these classic Japanese coupes.
