Up for sale is a 1978 Datsun 280z. Interior is in good shape, has a few cracks in the dash like most Z's. Factory A/C is functional. Custom Momo Shift knob, GT style steering wheel. Everything else is stock original on the inside. No cracks in any windows, carpet is in decent shape. Center console is in good shape. Interior is 8 / 10 overall. Exterior has some rust spots throughout. There is one hole behind passenger seat in floorboard. There are a few holes under the rocker panels (typical on most Z's) that can be patched. Car shows signs of having been undercoated in the past. Car has old-school Enkei style wheels. Tires are in decent shape, all hold air. Rear bumper has been replaced with 260z style one. Front bumper: delete. Has aftermarket front air-dam. Hood has been primed flat black and is ready for paint. The engine is a stock L28E. 5 spd manual trans. I have swapped the fuel injection system over to dual weber carburetors. Car will crank but is not quite drive-able. Carburetors will need to be cleaned and a new fuel pump relay switch is needed along with a few other odds and ends. I was able to take the car down the road a few weeks ago but it ran rough and showed signs of the fuel injection system being faulty so I purchased a used set of weber carbs for it online and have them installed currently. I still have the original fuel injection system if you would like to convert it back over. (The AFM was bad on the system and I was not interested in messing with it. ) Overall, I think that the car is a great candidate for a restore project. With a little more work it will be fully drive-able. I do NOT have a title for the car. I will write out a bill of sale for it upon pickup. I Would love to finish the car myself but with my current schedule I am unable to do so. Please note that the car WILL need to be hauled home by trailer. A 500$ immediate deposit is required upon auction end. I would like to disclose that I am very familiar with eBay and have been using it for over 10 years now. I just recently made a new account here and would like to reassure any potential buyers that I am aware of all dynamics of the site. If you have any questions about the car, please do not hesitate to ask. I would prefer all questions to be made prior to bidding on the car in order to reduce any possible confusion. Thanks for looking and good luck. |

Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster
Tue, 28 Jan 2014A quiet drive in the country can be the most relaxing thing in the world. What if it didn't have to end, and you could keep driving for a week, a month or even a whole year? That's what Scott Fisher is doing by taking a one-year sabbatical from work and driving his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster around North America.
"I had owned a manufacturing business in Las Vegas for 16 years. I knew I needed to kinda' get out, and unwind, and get my mojo back," said Fisher.
Fisher's trip has covered over 30,000 miles through 44 states and 7 Canadian Provinces, and it is not over yet. He left from his home in Las Vegas, NV, last spring and drove to the Pacific. From there, he drove up the coast to the Canadian border and aimed the car for the Atlantic. He just posted on his blog about visiting the Nissan headquarters and museum in Franklin, TN, and his next stops are Mississippi and New Orleans, LA.
Nissan IDx 'in the plan' for production, needs support from fans [w/poll]
Wed, 15 Jan 2014If there's a trend in the auto industry we can firmly get behind, it's the small, light and affordable rear-drive coupe. The positive critical reception to the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ twins has encouraged other manufacturers to look at building their own rear drivers, and even a few to show actual concept cars based on the idea. The Chevrolet Code 130R from 2012 and more recently, the Nissan IDx twins that were first shown at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show both come to mind, as does the brand-new Kia GT4 Stinger Concept.
Nissan trotted out the IDx Nismo and the IDx Freeflow for another showing in Detroit and we'll admit to being totally smitten with both cars. Again. The duo draw inspiration from the iconic Datsun 510, a lightweight, affordable rear-driver that remains a cult favorite decades after production ended.
Now, a report from our friends at AutoWeek reveals that we may, possibly, hopefully see a production IDx, provided fans make a strong enough case for it. "It's in the plan," Nissan product boss Andy Palmer told AW. According to the report, Palmer said the IDx is "into the first sage of the development process. The next stage is project validation and then looking at the business case. It's no one's intent to waste millions of the company's money, so obviously we have a good feeling about this one."
Datsun to unveil second model later this month
Sun, 08 Sep 2013Datsun, 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.
