1976 Datsun 280z Imaculate Collector 20k Miles! on 2040-cars
Clear Spring, Maryland, United States
|
This is the 280z that collectors dream of! this is a 1976 in British
racing green and has 20,795 original miles! This car has not moved since
the early eighties and was kept in perfect storage. It is still sitting
on 1976 tires which are very useable and match the spare. every sticker
and stitch is in place but it does have a scrape where a van was parked
too close about 10 years ago. I am completely serious when I say this is the best preserved Z I have ever seen all the rubber is soft black and flexible even the factory windshield wipers. The paint has no fade whatsoever but does have some stress marks from age here and there. even has the owners manual and dealer invoice sheet.
THERE IS ZERO RUST I have been all over in and out on this car and there is genuinely hand on heart zero rust in this body I have replaced the brake master cylinder, wheel cylinders and the brakes work great I have replaced the clutch master cylinder and had a rod extension made, clutch works great complete tune up and fluids change All original parts come with it including the genuine Japanese air filter and fuel filter. Still to be done: I have an aluminum radiator with it (original has a seep at the top seam) Needs a driver side mirror that was broken along with the scrape Paint buffed: it has been waxed and covered but needs a little wax buffing to be new A general safety check over. Body work. see the photos. it will need actual body work to be perfect Top end noise looked into Has not been driven yet! this is still a perfection garage find that is in its first home and hasn't come out into daylight in 30 years. The engine has been started but only for 30 seconds or so and it was noisy. It is definately in the head and NOT a rod knock. It sounds like a clattery valve but could be due to sitting and may need run a bit more. This is a collector restorer dream. this could be a museum piece. It is a rare little gem in a world of rotten run down and worn out Datsuns. Don't let this one get away it will truely be an investment piece. Please ask any questions you might have now. This car is sold as is where is and will need a trailer. I will not negotiate or come down on your bid price when you arrive. if you are concerned please come and see it in person or ask for specific photos. non refundable down payment of $500 via paypal due at auction end. Full payment due at pick up. I have all the factory paperwork and title is in my name |

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.
Nissan IDx 'in the plan' for production, needs support from fans [w/poll]
Wed, 15 Jan 2014If there's a trend in the auto industry we can firmly get behind, it's the small, light and affordable rear-drive coupe. The positive critical reception to the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ twins has encouraged other manufacturers to look at building their own rear drivers, and even a few to show actual concept cars based on the idea. The Chevrolet Code 130R from 2012 and more recently, the Nissan IDx twins that were first shown at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show both come to mind, as does the brand-new Kia GT4 Stinger Concept.
Nissan trotted out the IDx Nismo and the IDx Freeflow for another showing in Detroit and we'll admit to being totally smitten with both cars. Again. The duo draw inspiration from the iconic Datsun 510, a lightweight, affordable rear-driver that remains a cult favorite decades after production ended.
Now, a report from our friends at AutoWeek reveals that we may, possibly, hopefully see a production IDx, provided fans make a strong enough case for it. "It's in the plan," Nissan product boss Andy Palmer told AW. According to the report, Palmer said the IDx is "into the first sage of the development process. The next stage is project validation and then looking at the business case. It's no one's intent to waste millions of the company's money, so obviously we have a good feeling about this one."
