Up for sale is a white 1970 Datsun 240z! Everything on this car is original except for the fresh coat of white paint and the wheels (which are from a later year 240z).

Onto the bad: 
-the 240z badge near the front wheel well was put on in the wrong place by the previous owner (can be removed and relocated to the right area)
-the hatch lock DOES work, but both door locks do not work (can be easily fixed with a replacement lock mechanism)
-there is a little rust on the floor panels (very commonly found in 240z's)

The good:
-Car drives very well
-Clean engine bay
-Clean title
-No rust anywhere else besides floor pan
-Fresh paint (9.5/10 exterior)
-7.5/10 interior
-Garaged
-Electrical circuits recently checked and repaired (within last 100 miles)
-Well-maintained
-It's a JDM classic!!

This car is truly a blast to drive and so fun to own, but I am selling it so I can put more time and money into my other projects. This car receives compliments every time I take it for a drive, and it will surely be missed.

Note: I have this car for sale elsewhere, and I reserve the right to retract the auction should someone else give me my asking price.

Thanks for looking, and happy bidding!

Roadkill pits every project car against each other

Sat, 22 Feb 2014

The 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.

Malaise Era All-Stars

Fri, 17 May 2013

A 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:

Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

You can add Fiat to the admittedly short list of automakers considering a low-cost brand to rival Dacia. The inexpensive Eastern European brand from Renault-Nissan has performed on the balance sheet like a premium model line, and the money the alliance is taking off the table is encouraging other players to deal themselves in. Pretty soon Nissan's Datsun sub-brand will join the Dacia party, going on sale in Russia, Indonesia and India and will claim even more rubles, rupiahs and rupees for the parent company. Volkswagen recently said it will make a decision this year on a budget line for the Chinese market. With the euthanasia of Lancia and plans to move the Fiat brand upmarket, company CEO Sergio Marchionne wonders aloud to Automotive News Europe whether there could be room for a new budget brand underneath Fiat.
We're told that the initiative has been in the idea box for five years and even moved to the stage of name considerations, like Innocenti, but worries about profit kept it from realization. If such a range were to be developed, Marchionne says it couldn't be built in Italy and stay within budget, and the company is "analyzing its manufacturing capacity outside of Europe to see if a low-cost brand is viable."
