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!!.

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:

Datsun's lackluster initial sales fall below Tata Nano
Wed, 15 Oct 2014When Tata introduced the Nano back in 2008, everyone was amazed at how cheap it was. They called it a game changer, but no game was changed. In fact, it took Tata five years to sell the 250,000 units it had the capacity to build in a single year. As it turns out, even buyers in what economists call "developing markets" like India aren't necessarily interested in buying an ultra-cheap automobile. And now it appears that Nissan may be falling into the same trap.
A little over a year ago, Nissan revived its old moniker Datsun to serve as a budget brand - similar to what ally Renault did with Dacia. Its lineup (consisting of models like the Go hatchback, Go+ minivan, On-Do sedan and Mi-Do hatch) is largely based on old architecture, packaged with little more than basic equipment and sold at rock-bottom prices. But Bloomberg reports that, even in the brand's core markets like India and Indonesia, the new Datsuns haven't been selling.
According to local industry figures, Datsun has sold fewer than 10,000 units of its $5,100 Go hatchbacks in India since its introduction back in March. Maruti Suzuki, by comparison, sells twice that many of its similarly priced Alto hatchbacks every month. In fact, after peaking in April, Datsun only sold 607 units in India this past July, dipping 77 percent to drop below even the number of Nanos which Tata sold that month.
