Clean Cream 1976 Datsun 280z Rare Automatic Stock on 2040-cars
Redlands, California, United States
A beautiful example of 1970's style and legendary Japanese engineering, this 1976 Datsun 280z, finished in its original cream coat, has stood the test of time. After 38 years, this Datsun will still turn heads and put a smile on any driver. This car drives like brand new and does everything a modern car does, but with far more style and character. Highway driving is no problem, and navigating the city is a breeze thanks to the buttery smooth 2.8 L inline six. The engine makes a great sound as it pulls through the rare three speed factory automatic. The break pedal is precise and stopping is no problem at all thanks to recently flushing the brake system and topping it off with fresh fluid. Other recent updates to car are a Pioneer head unit with aux in, AM FM radio, and CD capabilities, two speakers mounted behind the seats (easily removable if so desired), a brand new Grant racing steering wheel (original included), new carpeting, headliner, and chrome side-view mirrors which complement the car very nicely. Also included are aftermarket floor mats, and a drivers seat cover. This car has been loved and well looked after, but being that it is a drivers car, it has also been driven, so there are some small signs of its age outside and inside the car.

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.

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:
