1976 Datsun 280z Imaculate Collector 20k Miles! on 2040-cars
Clear Spring, Maryland, United States
|
This is the 280z that collectors dream of! this is a 1976 in British
racing green and has 20,795 original miles! This car has not moved since
the early eighties and was kept in perfect storage. It is still sitting
on 1976 tires which are very useable and match the spare. every sticker
and stitch is in place but it does have a scrape where a van was parked
too close about 10 years ago. I am completely serious when I say this is the best preserved Z I have ever seen all the rubber is soft black and flexible even the factory windshield wipers. The paint has no fade whatsoever but does have some stress marks from age here and there. even has the owners manual and dealer invoice sheet.
THERE IS ZERO RUST I have been all over in and out on this car and there is genuinely hand on heart zero rust in this body I have replaced the brake master cylinder, wheel cylinders and the brakes work great I have replaced the clutch master cylinder and had a rod extension made, clutch works great complete tune up and fluids change All original parts come with it including the genuine Japanese air filter and fuel filter. Still to be done: I have an aluminum radiator with it (original has a seep at the top seam) Needs a driver side mirror that was broken along with the scrape Paint buffed: it has been waxed and covered but needs a little wax buffing to be new A general safety check over. Body work. see the photos. it will need actual body work to be perfect Top end noise looked into Has not been driven yet! this is still a perfection garage find that is in its first home and hasn't come out into daylight in 30 years. The engine has been started but only for 30 seconds or so and it was noisy. It is definately in the head and NOT a rod knock. It sounds like a clattery valve but could be due to sitting and may need run a bit more. This is a collector restorer dream. this could be a museum piece. It is a rare little gem in a world of rotten run down and worn out Datsuns. Don't let this one get away it will truely be an investment piece. Please ask any questions you might have now. This car is sold as is where is and will need a trailer. I will not negotiate or come down on your bid price when you arrive. if you are concerned please come and see it in person or ask for specific photos. non refundable down payment of $500 via paypal due at auction end. Full payment due at pick up. I have all the factory paperwork and title is in my name |

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.
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."
Datsun Redi-Go is reborn brand's first concept car [w/video]
Wed, 05 Feb 2014Nissan's plan for its reborn Datsun sub-brand just got a shot in the arm, as the emerging-market manufacturer has unveiled its first concept car since its resurrection back in 2012. Called the Redi-Go Concept, it looks like a high-riding version of Datsun's recently launched Go hatchback that's been fitted with a few concept car cues (not a bad thing).
The Redi-Go packs LED taillights, Datsun's "D-cut grille" and LED running lights into its Go-inspired body. Funky two-tone 15-inch wheels add a bit of cheek to the overall design, and in our minds look quite good, despite being so small. The ruggedized front and rear bumpers, as well as the sill and wheel arch surrounds add to the Redi-Go's rough-and-tumble aesthetic. We like that Datsun has kept the overall package short, giving the Redi-Go a 92.5-inch wheelbase, rather than creating a lifted version of the upcoming Go+. There are no specific mentions of the Redi-Go's mechanicals, although we'd wager that a production model might share the 1.2-liter engine and five-speed manual found in the standard Go.
While it might be easy to dismiss a concept like the Redi-Go in America, there's no denying its importance to the Indian market, which is decidedly more limited when it comes to available bodystyles. "If we were to make a car like Datsun Redi-Go Concept it would be a segment creator in India, an aspirational car that at the same time is attainable, a car that would be within reach of the first time buyer. This concept shows how serious we are about reinvigorating the market by catering for the needs of a growing class of Indians who have the chance to own a family car that will enable them to enjoy a new sense of independence," said Vincent Cobee, the global head of Datsun.
