1977 Datsun 280z 53,000 Miles! No Reserve!!! on 2040-cars

Year:1977 Mileage:53862
Location:

Morgantown, West Virginia, United States

Morgantown, West Virginia, United States

I started this as a project, but marriage, a new son, and a new house have gotten in the way. I spent well over $3000 in parts, etc, and this will be a really nice car when completed, but I no longer have the time or space. My loss is your gain. Car has been garaged since I've owned it. Too nice of a car to part out, but at this price, you could buy it for parts. I was told when I bought the car that the miles were original and actual. From the condition of the car when I got it, I believe that to be accurate. Car is complete, minus carpet and rubber door and window seals. Body is in good condition for the age. The car was Ziebarted when new. The only real rust on car was the driver's side floor (which has been cut out for repair) and rocker panel. All removable body panels are off the car. Most of the body has been stripped back to bare metal for a respray. Some body work was started. Some of the body panels have been primed with PPG self-etching primer. All glass is good, including windshield and backlight with defrost. New upholstery for the interior. New front brakes, clutch master and slave cylinders, etc. Clear WV title.

Buyer is responsible for shipping. Car ran and drove when parked, but the clutch slave cylinder was bad. Fuel tank has since been drained and removed. All running gear is still in car. Rolls and steers. I will help with shipping as far as: boxing all parts, temporarily re-attaching doors, fenders, hood and hatch, and helping to load. I would recommend a closed trailer to prevent any parts from being lost if a box falls over, etc. Most bolts are in baggies attached to the part they hold on, or in the original threaded bolt holes. I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PARTS OR FASTENERS LOST, STOLEN, BROKEN OR OTHERWISE MISPLACED OR DAMAGED IN TRANSIT!!!!!

This car is for sale, complete, but disassembled. AS-IS, Where-is. I strongly urge anyone bidding to visit and look at the car in person, or send a trusted representative so you know exactly what you are buying. I have tried to make my description of  this car as accurate and honest as possible. Description is for informative purposes only and is my personal opinion. In no way is my description to be construed as a warranty or guarantee of any type. Please understand that this is a 37 year old car, not a new car. This car has been disassembled for restoration, it is not a running and driving vehicle. 

This is a NO RESERVE auction. Whatever the final bid price is what the car will sell for. I have 100% positive feedback. Bid with confidence. By bidding on this car, you are entering into a legally binding contract. Non-paying bidders will be prosecuted. Buyer responsible for securing shipment or transport of vehicle at buyers cost. A non-refundable $500 deposit is due within 48 hours of auction close. Full payment due within 7 days of auction close. Neither the car nor the title will be released until payment in full is made.

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:

Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

Nobody does cars on the cheap quite like the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The former part of the equation already has its Dacia brand of cost-effective, no-frills vehicles that have become a favorite of Top Gear co-host James May, and last summer, the latter revived its Datsun nameplate for a budget brand of its own.
The reborn Datsun launched in India this past July with its Go hatchback, returned in September with the Go+ minivan and revealed the Redi-Go concept just last month. And now it's given us our first look at an upcoming budget sedan developed specifically for the Russian market.
The as-yet unnamed vehicle (which we'll bet will incorporate the word "go" into its nameplate somehow) is set to debut on April 4, where it will launch the Datsun brand in Russia. Few details are available at this point, but the low-cost sedan was designed in Japan to offer Russian drivers "an engaging driving experience, peace of mind ownership and accessibility at the right and transparent price, with a competitive Total Cost of Ownership."

This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

The Datsun 240Z got a lot of things right when it was introduced, with handsome styling, strong performance and a reasonably affordable price. And while the coupes grew a strong fan base in the US, they remained quite a rarity in the UK. Decades later, a father and son in England have latched onto the car and bonded over their shared love for two completely opposite takes on this Japanese GT
There's already quite a collection of exotics in Mel Streek's garage, and his rat rod 240Z, which he calls the Ratsun, definitely doesn't fit with the rest. On the outside, the Datsun looks ready to fall apart, but it's mechanically perfect underneath. Alternatively, Mel's son, Ollie, has a completely different take for his Z with its perfect, shining paint.
Both Zs sound amazing, though. They have a mechanical, somewhat course exhaust note that's intoxicating to hear. You can definitely tell there's some work going on under the hood. Check out this video from Petrolicious for a father and son who both find something to love in these classic Japanese coupes.
