I am selling this 1979 Datsun 280ZX for a friend of mine. It drives like a new car and is incredibly quick for an automatic. I own 3 280Zxs and have been amazed by this one. It is, essentially, rust-free and so very solid. It has all of the power options that the "Grand Luxury" package offered: power windows, cruise control (it works), air-conditioning(it works), rear window wiper, computer monitoring system and also, the rare auto window up or down feature. There was a small amount of rust (see photos) at the base and above the windshield that has been treated (see photos). This area will need paiting (it is in primer-- see photos)-- also, there is one small surface rust spot on the right front of the hood (see photo) This Z has a modern aftermarket AM/FM stereo with a CD player. The Z has it's original "jersey" covered seats which are far more comfortable than velour. The left rear tail light has a small hole in it. It has the desired 5 spoke wheels (and the original ones can come with the car if the buyer wants them). This is an incredibly solid 280ZX that in many ways is a time capsule. Today, it is so rare to see a 280ZX on the road and everyone stares and most people do not know what it is. These cars are so reliable and trouble-free and are truly coming into their own as a true classic sports car. Bid on this car with confidence. It's a great example.

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:

Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

A quiet drive in the country can be the most relaxing thing in the world. What if it didn't have to end, and you could keep driving for a week, a month or even a whole year? That's what Scott Fisher is doing by taking a one-year sabbatical from work and driving his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster around North America.
"I had owned a manufacturing business in Las Vegas for 16 years. I knew I needed to kinda' get out, and unwind, and get my mojo back," said Fisher.
Fisher's trip has covered over 30,000 miles through 44 states and 7 Canadian Provinces, and it is not over yet. He left from his home in Las Vegas, NV, last spring and drove to the Pacific. From there, he drove up the coast to the Canadian border and aimed the car for the Atlantic. He just posted on his blog about visiting the Nissan headquarters and museum in Franklin, TN, and his next stops are Mississippi and New Orleans, LA.

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.
