Datsun Z-series Coupe on 2040-cars
Lake Peekskill, New York, United States
Good condition rare 1974 1/5 Datsun 260z. Put away running approx. 30 years ago. Only known problem was the clutch slave master cylinder. Car has been modified with a complete set of 3 weber 40 DCOE side draft carburetors, aluminized headers, Interpart exhaust, euro Datsun springs and Kontrolle shocks. All period correct modifications for 1974. Car totally intact just needs the usual maintenance required for a car sitting this long, brake flushing / seals, oil change, gas tank cleaning etc. Engine had sea foam spayed into cylinders to avoid possible seal problems. Body is in good solid condition with just a few blemishes. I am the original owner of vehicle and have all the records of modifications and original shop manual, tools, jack etc. The vehicle has 96,245 original miles on it. The weber carburetors alone cost approximately $1,200 to purchase today without the manifold and related parts. This is not a parts car but a collector vehicle for someone wanting to get it back on the road and can appreciate the modifications that were done. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about the vehicle.

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:

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.
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.
