I am the second owner of this vehicle. Purchased from the original owner in 1976, 37 years ago (who I interviewed) with 30,000 miles. I drove it from 1976 to 1989 and accumulated 135,553 miles. Have a Holley 4 barrel conversion kit and pre 1973 carburetors (SU Type). Do not have the original 1973 carburetors. Took the car out of service in 1989 and stripped to the body. All of the items taken off the car along with the engine where stored inside. The car was blasted with baking soda and primed. The shop I gave the car to to do the body work went out of business, I was out of the country and never got back to it. The car sat outside covered with a tarp from 1993 to present. All items removed from the running car included. The dash, console, and seats are included although not pictures as they were stored in another location. The dash has 2 cracks on top as they usually do. Seats are in good shape considering age. The aftermarket fiberglass nose kit is shown on the car, the original headlight bezels and front lower cowling are included. The original left front fender is included although dented, a replacement aftermarket left front fender is shown on the car. The car originally came with a York A/C compressor which was swapped for a rotary compressor installed on the lower left side of the engine in the air pump location.

Condition:The body is in good shape, dent free. There is rust around the back of the seat mounts, the rest of the body is sound. Rocker panels are in good shape and sound. Lower fender wells have surface rust but it will sand off, no rust penetrations. See the tapping video. The car was repainted twice. Both times by the owner. The 2nd time it was stripped, zinc chromate primed and finished in Porsche 565 Metallic Silver Acrylic Lacquer.

Original engine and transmission with matching VIN.

Shipping and Payment: Cash Payment. Free on Board, Buyer responsible for picking up, packaging, and transport from Anniston, Alabama. (3 miles off of I-20 Exit 188, available for pick-up between November 21st - 27th only)

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

There'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.

Nissan IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts are a bridge to the Datsun 510

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

We're not sure if someone from The Adjustment Bureau stopped by Nissan's PR department to explain the IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts, but the company's odd press release can't diminish our love for these two show favorites. We had been told to look out for an unnamed Datsun 510 BRE homage, and once we saw the brothers IDx, we knew we'd found them. But the press release doesn't mention anything about the Datsun 510 Brock Racing Enterprises, nor does it mention one Mr. Peter Brock, the man who won two Trans-Am championships in the Seventies for the nascent Japanese budget brand.
Instead, it declares that the cars were the result of a co-creation product development process with "digital natives," said natives being the whippersnappers born after 1990. Nissan says it worked with the young'uns to create two different expressions of "their desire for a basic, authentic configuration for a car." If that's true, it appears that what the kiddies really want are... two different homages to the Datsun 510 BRE that Peter Brock used to win two championships in the seventies for the nascent Japanese brand.
The IDx Freeflow - the "ID" is for "identification," the "x" is "the variable representing the new values and dreams born through communication" - takes the casual approach, with a light khaki exterior hue, a minimalist interior decked out in denim and a console shifter that works a continuously variable transmission. The IDx Nismo is out for blood, from its crimson interior to its five-point harness to its bolt-on flares and sidepipes. We aren't told what the digital natives requested for powerplants, but that's alright; if this is what "co-creation" looks like, we're not entirely against it except where that "CVT" is involved.

Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

The Datsun name may have long since been replaced by Nissan, but the old brand is making a comeback - in certain markets, at least. Nissan relaunched the Datsun brand in July as its new budget brand for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback, and has now followed up with the addition of the larger Go+.
Set to be built in Indonesia at Nissan's plant in Purwakarta, the Go+ debuts today in the capital of Jakarta as the second model in the new Datsun lineup. The seven-passenger minivan features flexible seating in a compact form 13 feet long, powered by an unspecified 1.2-liter engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
Nissan isn't saying much else about the model, but hopes the new Datsun twins will account for half of its sales in Indonesia within three years. The low price target for both models - set to come in at less than 100 million rupiah ($8,700) - ought to help it get there. The lineup is then scheduled to reach other markets, starting with India, Russia and South Africa next year.
