1972 Datsun 240z W/ L28det Turbo Engine Swap on 2040-cars
Ridgewood, New York, United States
So you might be wondering after spending approx 2 years, why would I sell this car, and there are only 4 letters to explain BABY...
Yes! I recently got a surprise and my girl wants me to get a "family car" which is very sad for someone like me who spend soooooo much work into this my other baby :'( In any case let me explain you a bit more about this beast. I founded about 2 years ago in Long Island, wasn't in the best shape in or out, but after some serious TLC, I can tell you this car is prime piece of art, if I could wait longer I would finish a few things left to be done, but what is a classic if they are finished right??? The car is freshly painted about 3 months ago, carries a L28DET Engine with some serious Horse power (TURBO of course)... recently reupholster seats and door panels new bumper in front and fender flares, new radio and speakers original Z rims (which are pretty rear)... It has a new windshield seal brand new carpets... The engine runs, turbo also runs, has a brand new alternator, but because this is a modify car the computer hasn't been finished installing it, so the car runs on and off, it needs some mechanical service to get it on point, also needs to connect the tachometer, other than that the car looks brilliant. I am working into get the engine running over a friend of mine, if I get everything together earlier than the sell, the price might go up so buy quick ;) I have describe to the best of my capability the car, if ANY QUESTION DO SO AND WILL RESPOND ASAP. THE BIDING STARTS AT $6,000 BUY IT NOW FOR $9,000 I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CLOSE THE BIDDING AT ANY TIME |

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.
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:

Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]
Thu, 13 Mar 2014Nobody does cars on the cheap quite like the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The former part of the equation already has its Dacia brand of cost-effective, no-frills vehicles that have become a favorite of Top Gear co-host James May, and last summer, the latter revived its Datsun nameplate for a budget brand of its own.
The reborn Datsun launched in India this past July with its Go hatchback, returned in September with the Go+ minivan and revealed the Redi-Go concept just last month. And now it's given us our first look at an upcoming budget sedan developed specifically for the Russian market.
The as-yet unnamed vehicle (which we'll bet will incorporate the word "go" into its nameplate somehow) is set to debut on April 4, where it will launch the Datsun brand in Russia. Few details are available at this point, but the low-cost sedan was designed in Japan to offer Russian drivers "an engaging driving experience, peace of mind ownership and accessibility at the right and transparent price, with a competitive Total Cost of Ownership."
