Make: Datsun
Sub Model: 280Z NICEST SURVIVOR IN EXISTENCE IMPECCABLE
Model: Z-Series
Trim: Z
Drive Type: RWD
This first year 280Z is not restored. It is in stunning survivor, 100% original condition. Likely the nicest, lowest mile example in the country and certainly the nicest available on the market today. This one is for the discriminating collector looking for the very best. Bought new by the recently deceased original owner for his new bride Vicky in 1975. Custom engraved 'Vicky' gear shift knob has been on the car since new and only recently replaced with the original Z 4 speed knob. All records, original sales invoice, original Datsun owner guaranty card, and title substantiate original ownership and are all included. Original key, dealership key ring, owners manual, service booklet, dealership vinyl document pouch, and dealer installed upgraded cassette deck owners manual are included, and in mint original preserved condition. Car itself is absolutely breath taking. Your eyes can't almost believe what they are seeing. I have never in my life seen a metallic original paint look this fantastic. Only due to the full time indoor storage, and extremely low use did it survive like this. No cloudiness, cracking, chipping or thin spots. Paint is amazing. Body is laser straight with a few very minor misc. dings that would easily be fixed with paintless removal (too minor and small to even bother with if it were me and only mentioned at all in the interest of full disclosure). Interior is a mind blower. Still smells new! Flawless dash, carpets, seats, door panels, headliner, rear panels, etc. No fading, stains, or scratches. every, light, heater, lever, wiper, etc works like new. This is an a/c car in it works. Could likely use a charge. 1 extremely small tear the size of quarter exists at the bottom, lower driver side seat back (pictured). You can't even see it unless you look for it and lift on it. Absolutely amazing. Original unused spare tire. Car cover included. Engine compartment is extremely clean and tidy. original engine compartment torpedo light works of course. Just hard to come up with enough new descriptive words to keep from sounding redundant, but under the hood is amazing. The kind of condition every nook and cranny of this car is in can not be duplicated short of a frame off, nut and bolt restoration....and this one is original! The fun only starts at appearance, this car is a turn key, ready to drive, E ticket blast from the past driving experience and needs nothing. Drives as strong and precise as you remember them when they were new. Fast, nimble, and smooth. Flies down the freeway at todays speeds with none of the 30+ year old wind noises, rattles and freeway wondering you might expect. Shifting is also tight and responsive in and out of all 4 gears and reverse with no fussy down shifts, grinding or popping out of gear. Clutch is firm and precise with no hint of slipping. Always maintained at a premium level, this Z car feels almost new behind the wheel. I could go on and on, but take a look at the 118 images here first and feel free to call or email with all follow up questions: http://s761.photobucket.com/user/car-reras/library/280z (916) 813-2124.

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.
