Up for bid is a 1977 Datsun 280z with 94,376 original miles on it. I bought this car about a year ago with the intentions of restoring it but i just have to many other projects so its time to let it go. First of all this car has zero rust underneath. No rust on the floorpans, frame rails etc. I am not sure if its original or not but it still has undercoating from front to rear. There are a few places where it is pealing off and you can see the shiny silver paint underneath. By the way silver was the original color. If you know anything about these cars you will know that it is a rare thing to find one without some sort of rot underneath. As for the body there were a few rusty spots but that has been cut out and replaced with the exception of the rear hatch lip. It has been cut out but still needs a patch welded in. The interior is in decent shape. It could use carpet as it is faded in spots but is still very usable. The drivers seat has a few small tears in the corner but not bad at all and the passenger seat is fine. The door panels and headliner look brand new with no issues at all. The center console is broke by the radio but all the pieces are there so it could be fixed. The dash does have a few small cracks. As for the engine it runs but needs a timing chain. When i first got the car I pulled the gas tank and cleaned it before trying to start it. Once re-installed the car would crank over but was dragging. I bought and installed a new starter and it helped but was still dragging a little. I was able to play with the timing and get it started but was running rough. I pulled the valve cover and was able to see there was a lot of slop in the timing chain. I guess it could just be a guide or tensioner but i would go ahead and replace the timing chain as well. I was able to drive it around the yard and the transmission went right into gear and the rearend felt good and tight. 1 wheel cylinder has been removed and rebuilt as it was leaking but still needs to be re-installed. The car has the factory mag wheels on it that are in good shape just need a good cleaning. The tires have good tread but have dry rot from sitting. The front and rear bumpers have been removed but i still have them if interested. It wouldnt take much to get this car on the road and you would have a very sharp cruiser. I have tried to give as much info as possible about this car but if you have any questions I havent answered feel free to ask. The buyer assumes all responsability for pick up and/or shipping.

Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]
Mon, 15 Jul 2013In March of 2012, Nissan announced the return of its historic Datsun brand. Datsun used to represent the Nissan brand in a number of markets, but its badge hasn't been worn on a new model since 1981. In 2013, though, it has been relaunched as the Japanese manufacturer's budget offering in the emerging markets of India and Russia.
The model that will lead that charge, at least in India, is the Go, a car that pays tribute to the very first Datsun, the DAT-GO.
The operative term with the Datsun brand is: "budget offering." Don't step inside the Go and expect beautiful hides or brushed metals (it's being sold in India, after all). The instrument cluster features a simple speedometer, while the five-speed manual and the center stack above it are rather barren. It's not without luxuries, though, as iPod-style connectivity is available through a Mobile Docking Station.
Roadkill pits every project car against each other
Sat, 22 Feb 2014The guys behind Motor Trend's monthly Roadkill series have collected nine of their favorite project cars from their videos and pitted them against each other in a battle royale to determine a winner. It's 44 minutes long, but it's completely worth the investment of time.
The cars run the gamut from a 1973 Chevrolet Ramp Truck, a 1975 AMC Pacer and a legitimately impressive 1967 Chevy Camaro, and they are pitted against each other to see which is the fastest around an autocross course. The drivers include Roadkill's two hosts and Motor Trend's Johnny Lieberman and Carlos Lago. It's reminiscent of the best episodes of Top Gear and worth a watch.
So it's the weekend - the perfect time to relax. Grab your preferred beverage, get comfortable and enjoy 44 minutes of some seriously ratty but utterly cool project cars as they are throttled within an inch of their lives (or past it). Scroll down to check out the video.
Datsun expands low-cost revival with new Mi-Do in Moscow [w/video]
Fri, 29 Aug 2014Those who were disappointed when Datsun changed its name to Nissan over three decades ago may have been pleased to see the marque revived last year, even as a budget brand. Nissan's counterpart to its ally Renault's Dacia budget brand, Datsun has been steadily expanding its lineup of low-cost transportation for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback in India, the Go+ minivan in Indonesia and the On-Do sedan in Russia. And now it has returned to Moscow to reveal its fourth model, the Mi-Do.
Based closely on the On-Do sedan (which itself is based on the Lada Granta) the Mi-Do takes on a five-door hatchback bodystyle but with no more frills. It uses the same front-drive chassis with the same wheelbase as the sedan, but its chopped tail makes it a good foot and a half shorter overall. Into that compact shape, Datsun has fitted dual airbags, ABS and... well, that's about it. It's got a 1.6-liter, eight-valve inline-four kicking out a grand total of 87 horsepower to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. Bare bones, this is.
While delivery of the first On-Do sedans commences next month (with the first example going to an IT specialist in Omsk), the Mi-Do is set to begin delivery early next year. Scope out the video and press release below from the Mi-Do's reveal at the Moscow Motor Show.
