I am the 3rd owner of this 1977 280z, 104,730 miles, I can't confirm as actual miles but I believe it to be true, the previous owner brought it out of California from original owner in 1981 with 57000 on the clock, and owned it 25 years/47000 miles. in that time he had the engine rebuilt (1988) and the body repainted (1989) as well as repair/replace several high wear items (recovered seats, rubber door seals, suspension components, radiator etc) I bought it in July of 06 with 104,400mi. and have only put 330 miles on it since. the car is rust free and in Beautiful condition. 1 repaint still looks great, has a deep shine, 1 tiny ding in drivers door (doesn't show in pictures) a few light scratches, no rust, however on the inside of drivers door jamb by hinge, paint is starting to bubble, see pic. the glass is clear and remarkably scratch/fog free, has the Nissan logo stamp on all windows still. both driver and pass crank up and down smoothly. the locks still lock and the key still operates the locks. all the doors, hatch and hood are perfectly aligned and shut and close effortlessly. in the trunk are the original space saver tire, Jack, and the Datsun tire inflater canister everything in there looks like it did in 1977.
the interior looks like new, the seats were recovered many years ago but have no rips or holes, the dash is crack free with no fade,
door panels and head liner are excellent, very nice carpet on the floor and hatch area with no fade, car is always garaged.
the engine starts quick, idles smooth and pulls hard thru all 5 gears, no smoke, block is clean and dry, no sign of leaks
the Z drives excellent, I wasn't old enough to drive in 77 but I imagine this is it's as good now as it was than, you can take
your hands off the steering wheel at 70 mph and she tracks perfectly straight, no vibrations or weird noises. the only mechanical issues are the A/C could use a recharge and both the temp gauge and the oil pressure gauge work intermittently, meaning they both come on and read for a few minutes and than they will both stop reading. other than that, all the lights, wipers, heater etc work fine. the Dunlop tires are stock size and look like new, no sign of dry rot (still have the little studs on sides) but are probably 8 years old.
In the past few months I had the clutch assembly replaced and the flywheel resurfaced
replaced two fuel injectors
Battery an Brake light switch..have $1300 in receipts
will also include in the sale a set of 4 vintage American racing 5 slot mags (stock size from a 240z)
clear Mn. title 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.
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:

First new Datsun in decade sketched, set for Indian reveal
Mon, 01 Jul 2013Nissan'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.
