This 280z is a January of 1975 issue which is the very first month of the 280z production models. It's been a Southern car since 1975. Bought new in Ga. A copy of the window sticker proves that it was bought new in Ga. This is my Daughters first car and is driven daily. I purchased the car in July of 2012 from a friend who traded a trailer for it and knew I would like it. Im thinking I may be the 3rd or 4th owner. I need to sell so my daughter can have a newer vehicle to go to college. The car is mostly original with ordinary maintenance items replaced. The interior is nice with a reupholstered drivers seat, dash cover, new factory cut and sewn carpet throughout. I started restoring/preserving the car and replaced shocks all around,shock boots,ball joints,tie rod ends,steering boots,brake calipers and brakes,front brake hoses,strut bushings, lower control arm bushings,rear brakes and slave cylinders,sway bar bushing kit front & rear,acid washed and rod cleaned the radiator,new heater hoses on the heater core, all water hoses under the hood are new, new rubber fuel injection lines,fuel filter. I put on an Electric fan instead of those noisy factory fans with a thermostat switch, new exhaust from the manifold back ,nice factory cut new carpet with padding and floor mats, new CD stereo with 6x9 Kenwood speakers in custom plastic welded boxes ,new paint 3/2013,very little rust repair before painting mostly surface rust on floor boards and tailgate area. Tires are about 70% tread and are 70/195r14. Extra parts go with car such as original air intake plastic duct, original radiator fan and shroud, new performance Stainless Steel muffler and tip, new key ignition switch, 3"orange stripes I was going to put on the drivers side fender that match the bottom stripes, also included is a painted fiberglass tail fin. I have most of the receipts to show that most parts were purchased were Nissan original parts. The drivers side roof drip rail chrome is slightly damaged due to someone trying to pry open door at some point.Overall its a real great smooth driving 38 year old car. Great start to a restoration or street racer. As mentioned the air blows cool not cold and the air vents could use some fixing to get air blowing more efficient. The Mileage cannot be 100% confirmed accurate. The engine and transmission each have a very small drip just enough to see on clean garage floor. DMV in AL tell me that cars 1978 and older need no Title so all I have is a Bill of Sale. A Title can be created at the buyers expense if you so desire. This Car will be sold AS IS. Buyer handles shipping arrangments if any, fly in drive away if you want. Thanks for looking.

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.
Renault planning a Tata Nano rival. Again.
Wed, 28 Nov 2012Four years ago, Renault confirmed that it would partner with India's Bajaj Auto to develop a rival to the Tata Nano. At the time, as everyone waited for the Tata Nano to arrive, you could have used a Richter scale to measure the tremors the executive suites of any automaker with an interest in the low end of emerging markets. Then the Nano, still the cheapest car in the world, didn't sell so well - at the end of last year its sales were just six percent of its most conservative projections - and everyone seemed content to let Tata spend the money to figure out if there really was a market for the cheapest car in the world.
Renault believes there is, kind of. Automotive News Europe reports that it will partner with Nissan to build two low-priced cars for emerging markets, one for €3,000 ($3,888 U.S.) and another for €5,000 ($6,400 U.S.). The price of the least expensive offering is nearly $1,400 more than a Nano, which costs $2,500, and that can't be considered a small sum in comparison. But one of the hindsight knocks on the Nano has been that even in emerging markets buyers don't want a car whose biggest lure is that it is cheap; they'd rather give their aspirations a bit more of a workout.
Renault's offerings are scheduled to hit the non-Western market in late 2014, which is coincidentally the same year that will see the return of the budget-minded and emerging-market-specific Datsun nameplate. They'll be built in Renault facilities in Chennai, India, with no mention made of Bajaj this time around.
Datsun to unveil second model later this month
Sun, 08 Sep 2013Datsun, Nissan's new sub-brand for emerging markets, has announced plans to unveil its second model. Its first, the Go, was unveiled almost two months ago, and promised affordable, connected motoring for five in a handsome hatchback body. Datsun is following that up with a pair of new models for Indonesia.
The first of these two new vehicles will be shown on September 17 in Jakarta, eschewing the typical auto show debut. It's targeted at so-called "risers," the nickname for a group of highly aspirational customers in the Indonesian market. Datsun developed it locally with help from Nissan, and it'll cost under 100 million Indonesian rupiah (about $8,900 at today's rates).
We'll have the full boatload of information on the newest member of the Datsun family when it debuts on September 17. Scroll on to read the full press release from Datsun.
