This is a 1975 Datsun 280Z 4-speed project car. I've been working on getting this car streetable for months and simply don't have time for it anymore. I replaced the fuel pump, filter, injectors, and spark plugs/wires so the engine runs well. I also installed brand new brake and clutch master cylinders, as well as a new clutch slave cylinder and all new brake/clutch hoses and rebuilt the brake calipers and wheel cylinders. Goes down the road real nice.
Taillight panels were repainted. I started replacing interior and weatherstripping but haven't finished. Windshield and rear window were removed, cleaned up, and put back in with new rubber, as well as the quarter windows. The dash was removed, cleaned up, had new gauge bulbs installed, and I cleaned up the blower motor and heater core and had new water and vent hoses installed before putting the dash back in with a brand new full-face dash cap from MSA. Not much else pertaining to interior and rubber have been replaced yet, but the interior has been removed in preparation for the new stuff so there's still some work to be done. Car comes with over $1000 of new interior and rubber weatherstripping. Body is good and straight. There's minor surface rust but nothing big. There are a couple of small dents but no damage beyond that. Paint has held up okay over the years, but if you want to paint it there's minimal bodywork to be done. In addition to what's shown in the pictures I also have great-condition door panels, the original plastic interior pieces, new carpet, new headliner, and new weatherstripping. Car has clear title, is currently on non-op with no fees against it. |

37K miles in a 1967 Datsun Roadster
Tue, 11 Mar 2014When we think of comfy, long-distance road cars, there are a few obvious choices. A Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Bentley Continental GT or, assuming fuel efficiency isn't paramount, a Range Rover are all good options for a road trip. But what if that road trip was 37,000 miles? Maybe something more reliable but still comfortable, then, like a Honda Accord. What about a 1967 Datsun Roadster?
As insane as it sounds, Scott Fisher is doing just that, running a Datsun 1600 Roadster across North America and racking up 13,500 miles in his first three months on the road. His total journey will see him pile over 37,000 miles on his red convertible. The car is lightly modified, but most of the work is for the sake of reliability and comfort, with a five-speed manual 'box, an upgraded radiator and electronic ignition.
Fisher's trip hasn't been all smooth, with a few typical bits of trouble. He also ran into some deer in Utah, quite literally, clipping one of the animals, which delivered quite a bit of damage to the passenger's front fender (hence the rear three-quarter view in our lead shot). Still, the car seems to be holding up well, as shown in this latest video from Petrolicious.
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.
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."
