The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

I will start with the bad new. I bought this car in Alabama, which is a non title state for a car this old. I have the bill of sale, but was not able to get a title in the state of Alabama. A title can be procured, in another state but there are a lot of hoops that need to be jumped through depending on the state you live in. If you live in a non title state, you can register it with just a bill of sale.

I bought the car about 6 years ago, and the body was in excellent shape. I had it painted, and had plans to restore it. Shortly after having it painted I was stationed overseas, and I kept the car in a storage garage ever since. I am now stationed at Holloman AFB, and have been doing some work to get it back up and running. The car starts, and drives, but is in need of a pretty good tune up. The carb is freshly rebuilt. It has a new fuel pump, battery, starter, spark plug wires, distributor cap, and various other parts under the hood. The original carbs have been replaced by a holley 4-barell by one of the previous owners. I have stock carbs available for purchase as well. I have side turn signal lights that I purchased, and they just need to be installed. I am also including new black carpet, and black door panels. Both of which cost me at least $200. I have dumped a lot of money into this car, but my family situation isn't the same as it was before I decided to take a tour in Japan. My wife would be much happier if I wasn't throwing all our money into a car.

As you can see by the pictures, the paint is pretty nice, but is not the best. It is in need of a good wet sanding and some touchup. The interior is pretty bare, but I am including the seats, carpet, and door panels. You shouldnt need much more that that. The dash is cracked all to hell and back, just like most other datsuns this age. This car would make a perfect project. It really only needs a tune up, and some bolt on parts. Feel free to contact me with any questions about the car. I have various other parts, such as a turnkey L26 motor, and a 5 speed tranny from a 280ZX that I am willing to sell seperately

I am also selling the car locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. I can deliver anywhere within 600 miles at the rate of $.75 /mile. Any distance greater than that, please be prepared to pick it up yourself, or hire a private shipper.

I require a non-refundable deposit via paypal of $500 within 24 hours of the auctions end. I will require the rest of the money either via paypal or cash at the time of pickup/delivery.

This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

The Datsun 240Z got a lot of things right when it was introduced, with handsome styling, strong performance and a reasonably affordable price. And while the coupes grew a strong fan base in the US, they remained quite a rarity in the UK. Decades later, a father and son in England have latched onto the car and bonded over their shared love for two completely opposite takes on this Japanese GT
There's already quite a collection of exotics in Mel Streek's garage, and his rat rod 240Z, which he calls the Ratsun, definitely doesn't fit with the rest. On the outside, the Datsun looks ready to fall apart, but it's mechanically perfect underneath. Alternatively, Mel's son, Ollie, has a completely different take for his Z with its perfect, shining paint.
Both Zs sound amazing, though. They have a mechanical, somewhat course exhaust note that's intoxicating to hear. You can definitely tell there's some work going on under the hood. Check out this video from Petrolicious for a father and son who both find something to love in these classic Japanese coupes.

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

There'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.

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.
