This 240Z has been in our family since the very early 70's and was actually purchased from a family friend. It was produced in April of 1970 so is an early 1970 Z with the hatch vents not seen in later 1970 production. It is completely original except for the hood and new front end paint. It had minor hood damage so we had it replaced. The rims have been on it since the early 70's as well but we put new tires on it recently. Gas tank was boiled and repainted, new clutch and brake master cylinders, new brake shoes on rear, new pads on front. Completely rebuilt front calipers and rear wheel cylinders. Front discs and back hubs were turned. Also put new struts on it all around. Note that the original plastic is still on the shoulder belts (seen in rear hatch photo). There is some damage to body around the hinge of the hatch but it does not impair the hatch operation at all. We did put a new hatch hydraulic on in 2008. This car sat in storage from about 1980 to 2007 and was "pickled" with Marvel Mystery oil during that time. We had it tuned up so she runs very well, a little rich, but loves to be out on the open road. Quite fun to drive. The fading of the back carpet just happened last summer when we had it outside for about a month. Otherwise she has always been garaged. No rust. The switch cover on the console is off right now as we are going to replace the switch for the rear window defroster. It will look as new once we get that on.

Datsun to unveil second model later this month
Sun, 08 Sep 2013Datsun, Nissan's new sub-brand for emerging markets, has announced plans to unveil its second model. Its first, the Go, was unveiled almost two months ago, and promised affordable, connected motoring for five in a handsome hatchback body. Datsun is following that up with a pair of new models for Indonesia.
The first of these two new vehicles will be shown on September 17 in Jakarta, eschewing the typical auto show debut. It's targeted at so-called "risers," the nickname for a group of highly aspirational customers in the Indonesian market. Datsun developed it locally with help from Nissan, and it'll cost under 100 million Indonesian rupiah (about $8,900 at today's rates).
We'll have the full boatload of information on the newest member of the Datsun family when it debuts on September 17. Scroll on to read the full press release from Datsun.
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.
This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair
Wed, 12 Nov 2014The Datsun 240Z got a lot of things right when it was introduced, with handsome styling, strong performance and a reasonably affordable price. And while the coupes grew a strong fan base in the US, they remained quite a rarity in the UK. Decades later, a father and son in England have latched onto the car and bonded over their shared love for two completely opposite takes on this Japanese GT
There's already quite a collection of exotics in Mel Streek's garage, and his rat rod 240Z, which he calls the Ratsun, definitely doesn't fit with the rest. On the outside, the Datsun looks ready to fall apart, but it's mechanically perfect underneath. Alternatively, Mel's son, Ollie, has a completely different take for his Z with its perfect, shining paint.
Both Zs sound amazing, though. They have a mechanical, somewhat course exhaust note that's intoxicating to hear. You can definitely tell there's some work going on under the hood. Check out this video from Petrolicious for a father and son who both find something to love in these classic Japanese coupes.
