Up for bid is a 1976 280z. 2 seater vehicle with 4 Speed Manual Transmission. All original - 2 owner vehicle has been meticulously cared for over its 38 years. Always garaged, no accidents with minor surface rust in a few spots.

EXTERIOR: The paint has faded throughout the years. However, the body is nice and straight with a minor dent on the passenger door. I have placed a flat magnet on every inch of the body and can assure there is no bondo. The lines from the trunk, hood, doors and body are straight and match up nicely. All doors open and close with ease.

INTERIOR: Nice original interior. Door panels and headliner are in good condition. The driver’s seat is ripped and worn at the seat and passenger seat has one rip. Carpet is in decent condition. All electrical works for exception of the clock (which is common to go out on these cars).

ENGINE: The motor is also in original-unmolested condition. 4 Speed manual transmission. Starts up right up from cold start and idles nicely at 750 RPM. The car drives nice. This car is on non-op (no back fees) and has a clear title under my name. You will need to get the vehicle smogged if you buy it. Although the vehicle runs and idles nicely, I cannot guarantee it will pass.

HIGHLIGHTS: This is an all original, California vehicle (purchased at Datsun of Fairfield), and still has the original blue license plates. I have all of its service records since day one, along with the original keys - a very rare find. What you see is what you get. This would be the perfect car for someone to restore it to original condition, or modify it to their likings. I am selling the vehicle because I do not have the time, the space or the budget to restore it. I have sold a few vehicles on EBAY in the past, hence why I have an impeccable feedback review. I will be selling this car locally, so I will reserve the right to end auction at any given time if it does not meet my reserve price. Happy bidding!

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

There'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 2013

A 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:

Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

You 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."
