I am selling my 1980 Datsun 280zx. It has t-tops, a 5 speed manual and is a coupe (no backseat). The car does have some rust starting around the windshield and rear window. As well as on the rockers, which do have holes on the underside near the wheel wells. The floors are still solid. Everything is still very fixable if you're willing, or you could drive it the way it is or enjoy it for a few more years. I recently installed poly bushings all around on the car. Changed the valve cover gasket, full tune up, new lash pads. New battery, new pioneer radio and jbl speakers. Have not finished the 6x9 speaker box, needs fabric. It is easily removable if desired. Car currently has an exhaust leak by the manifold to head connection. I have the gasket but haven't changed it yet. Also needs new brakes Speedometer doesn't work right now. Odometer shows 225,000 miles, I don't know if it's accurate because the PO said they had switched the cluster out. Runs and drives great! Reserve the right to cancel auction due to local sale |

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:

This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair
Wed, 12 Nov 2014The 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.
