1982 Datsun 280zx Turbo, Beautiful Burgundy Paint With Restored Interior. on 2040-cars
Conroe, Texas, United States
|
This classic sports car is the epitome of driving experience. Along with its dashing good looks, it offers a modest 180 BHP, and 203 lb-ft of torque, (and it can definitely use every single one of them) which helps it achieve 0-60 in under 8 seconds. With the t-tops off and the engine blaring, the experience is one of both nostalgia and excitement. This is the kind of car that puts a smile on your face, and a feeling of imperiousness to other drivers in yourself. Modern Z-series Nissans have lost their character, and just aren't as exciting to look at. This one may not be as fast as a 350, or a 370, but it is significantly better looking, better sounding, and much more charismatic. Nothing turns heads quite like a well restored classic. Legendary Japanese reliability paired with RWD simplicity makes it the perfect car for just going out for a nice drive with the sun shining and the birds flying away quite startled after you go above 4,000 RPM or so. It's a GT car, one of the greats at it too, very few cars come close to the pure essence of driving of an original 280zx Turbo.

Autoblog Podcast #339:
Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster
Tue, 28 Jan 2014A 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.
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.
