In order to get this car in top condition for sale, it has been under the care of a master mechanic who has gone through it from front to back to ensure that it is in great shape.  Items below in the “new” category marked with an “*” were replaced by the mechanic.  Additionally, he has just rebuilt the carburetor.

This car was bought in mid 2012 and a lot of work has gone into it.  See below the new items that have been installed.

You are bidding on a 1976 Datsun 280Z with a Chevy 5.7L (350c.i.) Vortec engine out of a 2000 truck.  The engine had approximately 56,000 miles on it when installed.  The transmission is a 700R4 with a shift kit installed and new seals.  It works and shifts smoothly and correctly.  

The Vortec engine and heads are known for flowing extremely well and making lots of reliable horsepower.  The original air conditioner was retained and works well,But needs a charge.  The car was sanded and primed as well as shaved before it was painted with DuPont Chroma base slight metallic blue.  The flames are painted using the DuPont Hot Huesline with clear coat overall.  All of the glass was removed as well as the seals and rubber which were replaced. 

The Holley 4 barrel carburetor works well and is easy to work on.  As noted, it has been recently rebuilt.

The radiator is a stock unit that was re-cored and cools wonderfully in 1000F weather.  It has a Taurus 2 speed fan with a temperature regulator that turns the fan on at a preset temperature.

Some negatives that you should be able to see from the pictures:

·       The interior still needs some work.  You can see that the driver door is missing the chrome piece but I have that.

·       There is a place on the right rear corner of the rear hatch that had a little rust when the rear window was pulled.  Although it was wire brushed and then treated with a converter, it still shows up when you get real close.

·       The paint has not adhered correctly on the underside of the hatch.

·       The headliner is loose (needs to be re-glued) but other than that is quite serviceable

Items that have been replaced since 2012:

·       The exhaust is new

·       Seat Covers

·       Fog lights

·       Wheels (Datsun Z Konig Imagine)

·       Tires (Nexen N300 215/45 ZR17)

·       Spoiler

·       *Flywheel

·       *Fuel Pump

·       *Starter

·       *Ignition switch

·       Gauges (see picture)

First new Datsun in decade sketched, set for Indian reveal

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

Nissan's Datsun nameplate revival will begin with two models bound for the Indian market. Nissan has released sketches of a five-door hatchback based on the Micra (codenamed K2) and a top-down view of a hood that could potentially be from a sedan.
The company's press release says all will be revealed on July 15 in New Delhi, India. The Datsun lineup will be first offered in 2014 to that country's ride-deprived residents as well as Indonesia and Russia. Later in 2014, South Africa will join the list.
We've heard Nissan plans for Datsuns to share platforms with company-owned Lada. In January, we heard the projected price tag could be around $3,000 USD to compete with Chinese imports. The official press release (which can be read in full below) says nothing about either of these reports, however.

Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

The Datsun name may have long since been replaced by Nissan, but the old brand is making a comeback - in certain markets, at least. Nissan relaunched the Datsun brand in July as its new budget brand for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback, and has now followed up with the addition of the larger Go+.
Set to be built in Indonesia at Nissan's plant in Purwakarta, the Go+ debuts today in the capital of Jakarta as the second model in the new Datsun lineup. The seven-passenger minivan features flexible seating in a compact form 13 feet long, powered by an unspecified 1.2-liter engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
Nissan isn't saying much else about the model, but hopes the new Datsun twins will account for half of its sales in Indonesia within three years. The low price target for both models - set to come in at less than 100 million rupiah ($8,700) - ought to help it get there. The lineup is then scheduled to reach other markets, starting with India, Russia and South Africa next year.

Malaise Era All-Stars

Fri, 17 May 2013

A 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:
