1982 DATSUN 280 ZX TURBO PROJECT CAR. Vehicle body is in really nice, solid shape. Interior is fair to good. Vehicle currently does NOT run. It was running, but poorly, with a lack of power. We had vehicle in our shop and determined it has an engine timing issue. The timing chain is not properly installed (off a couple teeth on the gears) We were able to make vehicle run for a few minutes by turning distributor, but it is too far out to correct by moving the distributor alone. Transmission and brakes on car are good. When vehicle was running, it was apparent the turbo was spooling up and working. Engine wiring harness was replaced with one from a donor car, along with the computer, and airflow meter. Would make a nice project for someone with mechanical ability and knowledge. Also might be good for an engine swap, v-8 project. Tires are Kumho with better than half tread. Wheels are Koenig aluminum and in good shape. Many extra parts are included with this car such as: steering wheel, turn signal switch, hood insert, other trim, etc. Car must be trailered. Have clean title in hand. No international bidders please. Deposit due within 48 hours of auction end. Please do not bid if you have negative or zero feedback. Terms of sale are cashiers check, or cash in person. Vehicle will not be released nor title transferred until check clears. Thanks and good luck bidding!!.

Autoblog Podcast #339:
37K miles in a 1967 Datsun Roadster
Tue, 11 Mar 2014When we think of comfy, long-distance road cars, there are a few obvious choices. A Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Bentley Continental GT or, assuming fuel efficiency isn't paramount, a Range Rover are all good options for a road trip. But what if that road trip was 37,000 miles? Maybe something more reliable but still comfortable, then, like a Honda Accord. What about a 1967 Datsun Roadster?
As insane as it sounds, Scott Fisher is doing just that, running a Datsun 1600 Roadster across North America and racking up 13,500 miles in his first three months on the road. His total journey will see him pile over 37,000 miles on his red convertible. The car is lightly modified, but most of the work is for the sake of reliability and comfort, with a five-speed manual 'box, an upgraded radiator and electronic ignition.
Fisher's trip hasn't been all smooth, with a few typical bits of trouble. He also ran into some deer in Utah, quite literally, clipping one of the animals, which delivered quite a bit of damage to the passenger's front fender (hence the rear three-quarter view in our lead shot). Still, the car seems to be holding up well, as shown in this latest video from Petrolicious.
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.
