1978 Datsun 280 Z 


Complete car.
Clean Minnesota title.

Car was originally black and is a Black Pearl VIN.



Among the issues:
Car will not pass California emissions.  (Selling to CA customers for parts only.)
Non-running condition (bad head gasket and per my Z car mechanic has corrosion in cylinders 1 & 6)  will need a rebuild/swap.
Rust underneath and in battery compartment.  
Brakes will need attention after sitting.
Has a few dents.
A/C unit was removed (needs rebuild)

A few of the good things:
Engine and 5spd transmission from 1982/83 Datsun 280ZX
Has brand new master cylinder ( worth $150)
260Z front bumper
240Z wheels
Good glass
Good tires

I have owned this car for 14 years.  It has been sitting for three plus years now and needs a lot of love and attention.  
I will list this one time and then it will be parted out.  If you are a Black Pearl fan and want to save this beast from the grave this is your one chance.

The Buy It Now price is only $1000.  Lots of great parts, just the hood, rare 5spd transmission and rare 260Z front bumper combined are nearly worth my asking price.

Please contact me prior to purchase.  Buyer is responsible for pickup/delivery.

Please also note that once you click the Buy It Now option eBay automatically charges the seller a flat vehicle purchase fee of $60. This charge is included in the sale price and is non-refundable.   If you change your mind for any reason you will be refunded your deposit minus the $60 fee.   Please do not bid if you do not intend to buy.  

Contact me if you have any questions, want to look at the vehicle in person or would like to see more pictures.

Thank you and good luck!

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."

Datsun to unveil second model later this month

Sun, 08 Sep 2013

Datsun, Nissan's new sub-brand for emerging markets, has announced plans to unveil its second model. Its first, the Go, was unveiled almost two months ago, and promised affordable, connected motoring for five in a handsome hatchback body. Datsun is following that up with a pair of new models for Indonesia.
The first of these two new vehicles will be shown on September 17 in Jakarta, eschewing the typical auto show debut. It's targeted at so-called "risers," the nickname for a group of highly aspirational customers in the Indonesian market. Datsun developed it locally with help from Nissan, and it'll cost under 100 million Indonesian rupiah (about $8,900 at today's rates).
We'll have the full boatload of information on the newest member of the Datsun family when it debuts on September 17. Scroll on to read the full press release from Datsun.
