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!

Datsun expands low-cost revival with new Mi-Do in Moscow [w/video]

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

Those who were disappointed when Datsun changed its name to Nissan over three decades ago may have been pleased to see the marque revived last year, even as a budget brand. Nissan's counterpart to its ally Renault's Dacia budget brand, Datsun has been steadily expanding its lineup of low-cost transportation for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback in India, the Go+ minivan in Indonesia and the On-Do sedan in Russia. And now it has returned to Moscow to reveal its fourth model, the Mi-Do.
Based closely on the On-Do sedan (which itself is based on the Lada Granta) the Mi-Do takes on a five-door hatchback bodystyle but with no more frills. It uses the same front-drive chassis with the same wheelbase as the sedan, but its chopped tail makes it a good foot and a half shorter overall. Into that compact shape, Datsun has fitted dual airbags, ABS and... well, that's about it. It's got a 1.6-liter, eight-valve inline-four kicking out a grand total of 87 horsepower to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. Bare bones, this is.
While delivery of the first On-Do sedans commences next month (with the first example going to an IT specialist in Omsk), the Mi-Do is set to begin delivery early next year. Scope out the video and press release below from the Mi-Do's reveal at the Moscow Motor Show.

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:

This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

The 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.
