1978 Datsun 280z on 2040-cars
Bakersfield, California, United States
|
Up for auction is a real nice Datsun 280Z survivor. It has some surface rust in the under carrige This car has been in the family since the late 80's. It was started often. Install a rebuild engine in 1991 and also changed the clutch then and removed the four speed tranny that dragged on the freeway and replaced it with a five speed newer Datsun Z. Then it just sat there and my brother in-law lost interest. Since I always helped him fix it he offer it to my son and we purchased it with plans of restoring it but my son lost interest when he purchased a newer car now he wants to sell it. I don't want to but don't have the time and money to continue restoring it... Since we got it, we install new battery. had both seats professionally recover. It did not start, so we flushed the tank and installed fresh fuel and filter. Replaced two injectors and reseal and clean the rest. replace spark plugs. Got it running very decent. On clutch we replaced slave cylinder and master cylinder. on Brakes we replaced rear wheel cylinders, shoes and brand new drums, now it goes into gears great and stops good. Car has no power steering from factory. Speedo and RPM gauge work, all lights work, but parking brake light stays on. Have extra misc parts. Here what it needs: Smog check, rear suspension bushing and struts. (have new struts) AC needs to be checked and recharge but its all there, front bushings and struts worn. Tires hold air and have decent tread but they are weather cracked. Dash is very weather cracked. Pretty much this car will require lots of labor of love but it has a great foundation is a running project. Sold as is. We paid the back do fees but car is currently not op, and buyer will have to tranfer owner ship, but do have original pink slip in hand... here is a video on youtube, idles a little high when cold... http://youtu.be/JlKm8whLNxc |

First new Datsun in decade sketched, set for Indian reveal
Mon, 01 Jul 2013Nissan's Datsun nameplate revival will begin with two models bound for the Indian market. Nissan has released sketches of a five-door hatchback based on the Micra (codenamed K2) and a top-down view of a hood that could potentially be from a sedan.
The company's press release says all will be revealed on July 15 in New Delhi, India. The Datsun lineup will be first offered in 2014 to that country's ride-deprived residents as well as Indonesia and Russia. Later in 2014, South Africa will join the list.
We've heard Nissan plans for Datsuns to share platforms with company-owned Lada. In January, we heard the projected price tag could be around $3,000 USD to compete with Chinese imports. The official press release (which can be read in full below) says nothing about either of these reports, however.
Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]
Mon, 15 Jul 2013In March of 2012, Nissan announced the return of its historic Datsun brand. Datsun used to represent the Nissan brand in a number of markets, but its badge hasn't been worn on a new model since 1981. In 2013, though, it has been relaunched as the Japanese manufacturer's budget offering in the emerging markets of India and Russia.
The model that will lead that charge, at least in India, is the Go, a car that pays tribute to the very first Datsun, the DAT-GO.
The operative term with the Datsun brand is: "budget offering." Don't step inside the Go and expect beautiful hides or brushed metals (it's being sold in India, after all). The instrument cluster features a simple speedometer, while the five-speed manual and the center stack above it are rather barren. It's not without luxuries, though, as iPod-style connectivity is available through a Mobile Docking Station.
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.
