1975 280z Restored / Custom W/ Chevy 400 & T-5 5-speed ***no Reserve*** on 2040-cars
Fort Collins, Colorado, United States
|
Fully built, restored, and customized 1975 280z Listed with NO RESERVE Watch the video of it, it is about 4 minutes long and takes you from a walk around to a road test!
It will be hard to tell you everything that has been done to this vehicle as there is a lot but let me try: Body: The body and frame were completely media blasted back to bare metal, all the work was done then the body was painted Popsicle Orange. The frame was coated with a rust sealing and resistant coating. Any parts that needed attention or replacement were given their due attention. Just about all the weather stripping and seals on the vehicle are new. Look at the pictures / video of the vehicle from every angle, it looks great. Suspension / Chassis The complete system was gone though, all bushings were replaced with polyurethane bushings. New struts all around which also lowered the vehicle 1" all around. New brakes all around New tie rod ends New wheel bearings all round Brand new (less than 20 miles as of today) 225/50 Falken tires on brand new 16x8 Rota Turbine wheels. Drivetrain: Dropped in SBC 400 with 44K miles in it, the motor was completely gone through and accessorized to work for this vehicle. Things like new: mini starter, aluminum flywheel, 4 barrel intake and carb, special harmonic balancer, ceramic coated headers, alternator, and probably more were added to the motor before it was dropped in and matted with a T5 5-speed from a 90s Camaro with about 50k miles. The tranny was installed with a new clutch and new master and slave cylinders. A new custom short throw sport shifter was also installed to improve the feel of shifting and locate the shifter at the perfect location. The power is then delivered to the rear tires through a new custom drive shaft with new u-joints. The fuel system was also addressed, the tank was professionally cleaned and sealed, new high pressure fuel pump was installed with new fuel lines and a regulator up top. Again, I am sure I am missing a lot of things. This was a complete restoration, no corners were cut, the car runs great and was put together as it should have been. Look at the video watch it run! Interior: This will be another tough one as it will be really hard to name everything that was done. Sound deadening matting was used throughout the floor. New JVC digital media receiver New Polk DB speakers installed in the doors 12" DVC sub and alpine amp in custom box with raised floor look using same new carpet used for cabin. Tweeters were installed in the corners of the dash and 3" speakers were installed in open gauge locations in the center console. Everything in the dash and interior has been gone through and everything that needed attention was either restored or replaced. Complete set of after market gauges, new carpet, completely restored seats and the drivers seat was converted into a heated drivers seat! This button will be tactfully located in the center console before you receive the vehicle. Again, I can go on and on but it will just take time that you could be using to enjoy the pictures and video so I will leave it at that, if you have questions feel free to ask them. The vehicle comes with a clean and clear Iowa title Basically, this 280z looks and runs great, a lot of attention has been given to it to make sure it would be a fantastic and fun vehicle for someone. Only about 20 miles have been put on the vehicle since the build, more would be added to help fine tune everything and to be honest just for the hell of driving it a little before she goes to her new home. I hope to put about 200 miles on the vehicle before it is delivered to have everything appropriately fitted and tuned. This vehicle is being listed with NO RESERVE so the top bidder will win the vehicle Take your time to go over the pictures and video they will be the best gauge of condition and attention to detail that was given to this build! If you have 0% feedback rating please contact me before or at time of you bidding so I can make sure to keep the auction fair to everyone. Seats are beautiful and remember this one is a heated seat! Custom built shifter linkage to locate the shifter, looks better than stock! Tires still have branding on their thread New Custom Drive Shaft New steal braided fuel line with new fuel pump. New custom fitted radiator with electric fan! Remember, this auction does not have a reserve, the individual with the top bid at the end will win this car! |

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.
Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster
Tue, 28 Jan 2014A quiet drive in the country can be the most relaxing thing in the world. What if it didn't have to end, and you could keep driving for a week, a month or even a whole year? That's what Scott Fisher is doing by taking a one-year sabbatical from work and driving his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster around North America.
"I had owned a manufacturing business in Las Vegas for 16 years. I knew I needed to kinda' get out, and unwind, and get my mojo back," said Fisher.
Fisher's trip has covered over 30,000 miles through 44 states and 7 Canadian Provinces, and it is not over yet. He left from his home in Las Vegas, NV, last spring and drove to the Pacific. From there, he drove up the coast to the Canadian border and aimed the car for the Atlantic. He just posted on his blog about visiting the Nissan headquarters and museum in Franklin, TN, and his next stops are Mississippi and New Orleans, LA.
Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]
Thu, 13 Mar 2014Nobody does cars on the cheap quite like the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The former part of the equation already has its Dacia brand of cost-effective, no-frills vehicles that have become a favorite of Top Gear co-host James May, and last summer, the latter revived its Datsun nameplate for a budget brand of its own.
The reborn Datsun launched in India this past July with its Go hatchback, returned in September with the Go+ minivan and revealed the Redi-Go concept just last month. And now it's given us our first look at an upcoming budget sedan developed specifically for the Russian market.
The as-yet unnamed vehicle (which we'll bet will incorporate the word "go" into its nameplate somehow) is set to debut on April 4, where it will launch the Datsun brand in Russia. Few details are available at this point, but the low-cost sedan was designed in Japan to offer Russian drivers "an engaging driving experience, peace of mind ownership and accessibility at the right and transparent price, with a competitive Total Cost of Ownership."
