This car has been driven. It runs great, handles well and is a great pleasure to drive. Can be used a daily driver (if you don’t mind 14 MPG). It does need a bit of warming up on a cold morning. Please send a message and I can provide more photos or try to answer your questions. If you are local, I can make time to show the car off. Video: Engine Starting, Idling, and Revving Details: Weber Carbs Weber Carb choke mod - Uses the original choke lever in the cabin to close the choke when warming the engine. California Smog exempt (Pre-1975), so the smog bits have been removed. I have them in storage, if you’d like them, drop a note. New Windshield - The chrome border for the windshield is included. It was a bit bent and could probably use replacing, but If you were the handy type I suppose you could wrangle it in there. One of the corner pieces is missing. Pioneer CD Player - MP3 Enabled, Bluetooth, USB Prestige alarm system Alloy Wheels with locking nuts Condition: The horn is not currently connected. The handbrake warning light does not come on when brake is engaged. The blower knob is included, but not installed. The passenger window handle is missing the knob, but the lever works just fine. The instrument panel is dim, which is my personal preference, but it might be a problem. Cosmetics: Not the original paint. Very nice pinstripes along the sides. Rust on the trunk lid (photo included), under the floor carpeting, and on the battery shelf. Bumps around the trunk. Nothing too strange for a 40 year old rust magnet. A door ding on the driver’s side door. Some paint missing from road debris strikes (Example in photos). Cracked dash (comes standard on 70’s Z-cars). Extras: Original Carbs Lots of gaskets for window, door and trunk seals Smog components If you’d like any of them, just drop a note and I’ll pull them out of storage. History: Bought from a private owner 3 years ago. His project became mine. The car has been registered in California and Oregon. Shipping: Buyer is responsible for pickup or making shipping arrangements. Payment: Cash in person or Cashier’s Check. $500 PayPal Deposit within 3 days. Balance due within 7 days. |

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.
37K miles in a 1967 Datsun Roadster
Tue, 11 Mar 2014When we think of comfy, long-distance road cars, there are a few obvious choices. A Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Bentley Continental GT or, assuming fuel efficiency isn't paramount, a Range Rover are all good options for a road trip. But what if that road trip was 37,000 miles? Maybe something more reliable but still comfortable, then, like a Honda Accord. What about a 1967 Datsun Roadster?
As insane as it sounds, Scott Fisher is doing just that, running a Datsun 1600 Roadster across North America and racking up 13,500 miles in his first three months on the road. His total journey will see him pile over 37,000 miles on his red convertible. The car is lightly modified, but most of the work is for the sake of reliability and comfort, with a five-speed manual 'box, an upgraded radiator and electronic ignition.
Fisher's trip hasn't been all smooth, with a few typical bits of trouble. He also ran into some deer in Utah, quite literally, clipping one of the animals, which delivered quite a bit of damage to the passenger's front fender (hence the rear three-quarter view in our lead shot). Still, the car seems to be holding up well, as shown in this latest video from Petrolicious.
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.
