1978 DATSUN 280Z
PEARL BLACK SPECIAL EDITION

This is a TRUE 1978 280Z Pearl Black Special Edition. [Paint Code 638]. One of the rarest of the early Z's. Only between 850 and 1200 of these cars were made. This is an Automatic making it even more rare.

Not sure of the true mileage seeing the Odometer rolls over at 100,000.. BUT the title reads 70,138. The odometer reads a little over 71,000.   

I have invested over $5000 on this classic over the past year and a half. 

WATCH THIS VIDEO OF MY CAR AND THEN READ THE DESCRIPTION BELOW it.




HERE ARE SOME OF THE UPGRADES:

Suspension is completely overhauled with New KYB struts and polyurethane bushings.

Rear polyurethane differential bushings, and a R/T Racing differential mount.

The Car has been lowered, and sits on 15x8 XXR racing wheels, and 225/50 Kuhmo tires.

New Rack and Pinion, New tie rods, ball joints, torque bushings,...etc.
Handles like it is on rails. 

Brakes have been upgraded to 4 piston calibers, 15/16 Master Cylinder, and larger brake booster. STOPS perfectly, braking is far better than factory.

Engine has racing header, 2.5" performance exhaust and cold air intake. The starter, alternator, air regulator, oil pressure switch, and fuel pump have all recently been replaced.

Fuel Injection wiring harness rebuilt with new ends, and the engine has just recently received a complete tune up.

FLOOR BOARDS, FRAME RAILS LOOK GOOD.
BATTERY AREA LOOKS GOOD. SOLID CAR. 

Many new parts, drive it any where.

Roadkill pits every project car against each other

Sat, 22 Feb 2014

The 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.

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.

Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

Nobody does cars on the cheap quite like the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The former part of the equation already has its Dacia brand of cost-effective, no-frills vehicles that have become a favorite of Top Gear co-host James May, and last summer, the latter revived its Datsun nameplate for a budget brand of its own.
The reborn Datsun launched in India this past July with its Go hatchback, returned in September with the Go+ minivan and revealed the Redi-Go concept just last month. And now it's given us our first look at an upcoming budget sedan developed specifically for the Russian market.
The as-yet unnamed vehicle (which we'll bet will incorporate the word "go" into its nameplate somehow) is set to debut on April 4, where it will launch the Datsun brand in Russia. Few details are available at this point, but the low-cost sedan was designed in Japan to offer Russian drivers "an engaging driving experience, peace of mind ownership and accessibility at the right and transparent price, with a competitive Total Cost of Ownership."
