I Highly suggest looking coming out and looking at the car before bidding. THE GOOD: The car is a good driver it was owned by a mechanic before me so most everything works, Lights, turn signals, tac, speedo, wipers, blue tooth radio, rebuilt round top su Carbs, newer brakes, New tires about 3-5000 miles. The car has had rust repair on the floor boards( patched welded) and covered with undercoating looks ok but solid. The rocker panels, one fender and the bumper delete were all welded in and bondoed. The paint is a newer duplicolor paint with 3-4 coats of clear . Looks good front 10' off . The BLack strips are decals. The front and rear window seals have been replaced . The AC actually does blow cold (surprise) . It runs and drives fine , The exhaust is newer but a bit loud is straight with a CHerry bomb Resonator and Chrome tip. The interior is in good shape there is a small tear in driver's seat . The door panels are nice but they are from a 280z and the door lock holes did not line up so there are 2 holes on each door panel . The interior was white and has been changed over to black . Many of the pieces were changed over... door panels, new headliner, visors, seats and some plastic were dyed black. It has been 2 years and still looks good. The car runs great I have driven it a good bit and the PO drove it on a couple long trips. Like all old z cars it has a bit of exhaust smell. the tail lights and every opening in the rear needs to be plugged, I haven't had time to do this. The car Starts right up and drives great. The rims are old Westerns ( much like the Panasports or Konig rewind but older) Tires are great. Has newer carpet kit installed but not the best of quality. The Bad One of the fenders did not get the best of Patches and bondo treatment and could be replaced. The bumper delete is kinda wavy. The Paint job is OK paint was decent and it was wet sanded between coats but it is definitely driver quality enough to impress from 10-15 feet off but there are imperfections. I bought the car for a friend overseas and then he saw a 240 I had that he wanted more . I have too many z cars so this one has to go . IF you have any questions or want to see it you can give me a call 828 242 6181 . I do have it for sale locally and reserve the right to end the auction early. I will try to post more pictures

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.

Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun
Tue, 05 Feb 2013You 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."
