1976 280z (could Be Great Donor Car For Your 280z Project) Good Glass & Interior on 2040-cars
Mobile, Alabama, United States
Frame rails and floor pans are rusty. Rust on door bottoms and quarter panels. Put a fresh battery in and it almost turned over. I was told that it's something to do with the fuel injection wiring but I could never get anyone to really spend the time and look at the car. Bought the car as a Father & Son project but it's way over our heads. This would be a great parts car for someone needing glass, interior, engine parts, transmission, etc. Has aluminum rims and Dean tires on it. We don't have the money to begin this project after we found out that the frame rails and floor pans were rusted. Mileage unknown. We've tried to show good photos of the rust, engine, interior, glass, etc. If you have any specific questions, I will try to answer them or take a photo to send to you to answer your question. We are not mechanics.
We left it at the automotive shop in the background of the photos but they were busy and couldn't fully look at it. They did say it was too old for them to completely work on and probably too expensive for us to afford. That made our decision to sell it final because we don't have much money for this repair project. PICK UP ONLY in Saraland, Alabama 36571. We cannot ship this car. |

Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster
Tue, 28 Jan 2014A quiet drive in the country can be the most relaxing thing in the world. What if it didn't have to end, and you could keep driving for a week, a month or even a whole year? That's what Scott Fisher is doing by taking a one-year sabbatical from work and driving his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster around North America.
"I had owned a manufacturing business in Las Vegas for 16 years. I knew I needed to kinda' get out, and unwind, and get my mojo back," said Fisher.
Fisher's trip has covered over 30,000 miles through 44 states and 7 Canadian Provinces, and it is not over yet. He left from his home in Las Vegas, NV, last spring and drove to the Pacific. From there, he drove up the coast to the Canadian border and aimed the car for the Atlantic. He just posted on his blog about visiting the Nissan headquarters and museum in Franklin, TN, and his next stops are Mississippi and New Orleans, LA.
Nissan IDx 'in the plan' for production, needs support from fans [w/poll]
Wed, 15 Jan 2014If there's a trend in the auto industry we can firmly get behind, it's the small, light and affordable rear-drive coupe. The positive critical reception to the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ twins has encouraged other manufacturers to look at building their own rear drivers, and even a few to show actual concept cars based on the idea. The Chevrolet Code 130R from 2012 and more recently, the Nissan IDx twins that were first shown at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show both come to mind, as does the brand-new Kia GT4 Stinger Concept.
Nissan trotted out the IDx Nismo and the IDx Freeflow for another showing in Detroit and we'll admit to being totally smitten with both cars. Again. The duo draw inspiration from the iconic Datsun 510, a lightweight, affordable rear-driver that remains a cult favorite decades after production ended.
Now, a report from our friends at AutoWeek reveals that we may, possibly, hopefully see a production IDx, provided fans make a strong enough case for it. "It's in the plan," Nissan product boss Andy Palmer told AW. According to the report, Palmer said the IDx is "into the first sage of the development process. The next stage is project validation and then looking at the business case. It's no one's intent to waste millions of the company's money, so obviously we have a good feeling about this one."
