Scratch RR over gas fill and scratch and ding on Gas Cap Cover, 2 small spots of rust on Dr door down low and some pre-rust showing up under paint on cowl. Missing a left front fender filler and could use a rear bumper (rusting) Dash has some cracks. This is a terrific Sunday Cruiser. Certainly you could spend and start updating shocks, tires and rims or just drive it as is. Always starts right away no matter the weather. ( I cruise year round in dry weather). Never touched anything under the hood except for rubber fuel lines and a brake master cylinder.I repainted it about 5 years ago. The 1975 is the first 280z and was the first year for fuel injection, and the system is awesome. Tall drivers - I'm 6'8" and I fit in this car! The car is located in Madison, CT. 20 miles east of New Haven, the car will be sold as is- no warranty expressed or implied.

Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun
Tue, 05 Feb 2013You can add Fiat to the admittedly short list of automakers considering a low-cost brand to rival Dacia. The inexpensive Eastern European brand from Renault-Nissan has performed on the balance sheet like a premium model line, and the money the alliance is taking off the table is encouraging other players to deal themselves in. Pretty soon Nissan's Datsun sub-brand will join the Dacia party, going on sale in Russia, Indonesia and India and will claim even more rubles, rupiahs and rupees for the parent company. Volkswagen recently said it will make a decision this year on a budget line for the Chinese market. With the euthanasia of Lancia and plans to move the Fiat brand upmarket, company CEO Sergio Marchionne wonders aloud to Automotive News Europe whether there could be room for a new budget brand underneath Fiat.
We're told that the initiative has been in the idea box for five years and even moved to the stage of name considerations, like Innocenti, but worries about profit kept it from realization. If such a range were to be developed, Marchionne says it couldn't be built in Italy and stay within budget, and the company is "analyzing its manufacturing capacity outside of Europe to see if a low-cost brand is viable."
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:
