I'm putting my z for sale; it's a 1975 Datsun 280z S30 coupe 5 speed. She's a great car and she’s got lots of new parts. She’s a great daily driver.
I'm selling my Z because I need cash to start up my business. That's the
only reason I'm selling her. I bought this car with the intention to never sell
her. But life has her way of letting you know who is boss. I upgraded the
suspension and all the brake parts because I wanted to make sure she would be a
reliable daily driver. Fully tuned up and ready for her new home. She's not
perfect but turns heads where ever she goes. The interior is all there and original besides
one missing panel. The only interior defects are the holes where the
PO cut out for speakers, and the driver rear quarter panel cover is missing. On
the driver seat there is a small whole by the left bolster and a small slit by
the bottom left bolster. The passenger seat is mint. All
the gauges work except the clock. New Falken 205/50/15 tires on
Enkei 92s 15x8, new left and right tie rod ends, new sway bar end links, 4 new
shocks, new brakes, new SS brake lines, new rear brake cylinders. New Flow
master 40 series muffler. New 280zx master cylinder, new clutch master
cylinder. New plugs and wires. New carpet. Used 330MM Naradi steering wheel.
New shift booth and e-brake boot. Car comes with factory 4 speed. Installed is a 1982 280zx close ratio 5 speed. New speakers all the way around, 6" in
the front under the dash and 5.5" in the rear. Nice Pioneer CD player with
Aux input and remote. A/C blows cold and has been retrofitted to use R134
gas. Heater works great too. Dash has a cover over it, has a few cracks. The
car has some old tint on it that will be removed. The body is on good shape
with only a few spots that have bobbles here and there. The PO repainted the
car and didn't do a good job with the prep work. The rust is minimal with a car
this age and will be a quick fix with a repaint if you feel
it’s necessary. Frame rails are solid. The floor boards have a few small
holes, but nothing that a few patches can't fix. Overall the floors
are structurally sound. The original 280z bumpers were swapped
in favor of the 240z front bumper with custom mounting brackets. The rear I
left without a bumper because that was the look I was going for. Air dam is for
a 240z as you can see there is cut outs for 240z turn signals. Over all the Z
is a great car for a daily driver and she turns heads. She needs a few cosmetic
fixes but other than that she’s great! Hope the new owner will enjoy her as
much as I did. Happy bidding. Low Reserve. |

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:

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.
Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There'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.
