This is an incredible car 1978 Datsun 280Z 2+2. I purchased this car from its second owner the car was a barn fine. The car belong to an older lady who said that she had gotten to old for the car. So she had bought a newer car that she could drive. She said that it was hard for her to part from the car because of the memories. So I was told from her that the miles on the odometer was correct which is 38379. By pulling off the valve cover and looking at the cam and the rockers they look like new. I assume this is the correct miles. This is a five speed car the clutch works perfect, pulls hard in all gears. She assured me that the car has never been hit, the body is nice and straight, the underbody is straight, the car drives excellent. The previous owner also had costume interior done, new headliner, new carpet, new sunroof, interior is a beautiful black interior. The previous owner went to DMV and put a non-operational on the vehicle because she was no longer driving it. The tires and rims are in good condition. The car might need a paint job, the paint is okay. Needs antenna and the car had sat out in the sun and so therefore there is a crack in the dashboard. Maintenance done on the car by me is new fuel pump, oil change, gas filter, tune up. Dont miss out on the car this is a beautiful Z!

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.
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.
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:
