*** RIM FIRE FORCES SALE*** I am 2nd owner. the Uncle worked for Nissan and arranged for his sister -in-law to receive this car for her Christmas present in December of 1977. the family in red bluff used the car thru the wife and four children who used it to commute to college. after the last son had finished with it , it sat for a bit. grand children on trikes put a few scratches on it and broke the mast on the antenna.there is a spot on either side behind the rear wheel that is starting to bubble, but all in all it is super solid. front seats have sheep skin covers that breath and are washable. i've never taken them off. has a small tear in the corner seam of rear seat. when I bought it I installed a new high power coil, fresh air intake and clutch slave valve. and I have been driving it ever since. took it to Monterrey , was super comfortable the whole way.makes great power and good on gas. all guages work, even the clock. air conditioning blows ice cold, rear defogger, intermittent wipers all work great. Eclipse stereo .tires under a year old, currently smogged. comes with the factory cold air intake that was removed and an assortment of O.E.M. parts including new upholstery for the front seats,factory center console cover, bra,manuals and dealers brocure. the only reason we are selling is because we were impacted by the rim fire and find ourselves now needing the money.

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:

Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun
Tue, 05 Feb 2013You can add Fiat to the admittedly short list of automakers considering a low-cost brand to rival Dacia. The inexpensive Eastern European brand from Renault-Nissan has performed on the balance sheet like a premium model line, and the money the alliance is taking off the table is encouraging other players to deal themselves in. Pretty soon Nissan's Datsun sub-brand will join the Dacia party, going on sale in Russia, Indonesia and India and will claim even more rubles, rupiahs and rupees for the parent company. Volkswagen recently said it will make a decision this year on a budget line for the Chinese market. With the euthanasia of Lancia and plans to move the Fiat brand upmarket, company CEO Sergio Marchionne wonders aloud to Automotive News Europe whether there could be room for a new budget brand underneath Fiat.
We're told that the initiative has been in the idea box for five years and even moved to the stage of name considerations, like Innocenti, but worries about profit kept it from realization. If such a range were to be developed, Marchionne says it couldn't be built in Italy and stay within budget, and the company is "analyzing its manufacturing capacity outside of Europe to see if a low-cost brand is viable."
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.
