1977 Datsun 280z Fairlady Fuel Injection And Manual Transmission on 2040-cars
Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States
I inherited a 1977 Datsun 280z. It has the original inline 6 cylinder and manual transmission. Its a California car. It was in the shop - Toby's Auto Repair in Fresno, CA. No Rust. It has been sitting for the last 3 years at the shop. Currently, its at Ray Auto Body out in Delano, MN being worked on. The car doesn't run. The original plan was to restore the car and keep it original. Sadly to say, I don't have the time or money to work or have work performed on the car. It doesn't run. Clean MN title. I transferred it to MN when I brought it up. Mileage shows 26xxx, could be original miles but I'm not sure as the speedo only has 5 digits.
Things wrong with the car: Car runs and idles but does not drive. Needs minor work on engine. The radiator was replaced with a high performance aluminum one. I believe it was like 500+ dollars. Driver seat has a rip in the seem. Its the original seat. The paint is still in good condition but could use a touch up on some spots. There is a small dent, not really noticeable, on the corner of the hood. The Good: It has the inline 6 fuel injected engine Manual Transmission - Better then the automatick Enkei Inline rims 95% stock with the exception of the body kit, rims and radiator VIN: HLS30359989 |

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:

Datsun expands low-cost revival with new Mi-Do in Moscow [w/video]
Fri, 29 Aug 2014Those 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.
