Japanese flare meets American muscle. Offered here is a 1979 Datsun 280ZX, also known as the Nissan S130, which was in production from 1978 to 1983 and has recently climbed in collectability. However, this is not a stock Datsun. Replacing the often problematic 2.0L Inline-6 is a Small Block Chevy 350 V8 with a mild cam and mated to a 700R4 transmission with shift kit that offers a driving experience unlike any other. It is pretty quick and the combination of the stylish lines and sublime exhaust sound, this car gets attention wherever driven.
The car was originally from Missouri and came from the factory painted brown with tan interior. It was then brought to Michigan where the drivetrain was upgraded and it was finished in silver. The body is straight and there is no rust to be found. The car has always been garage kept and well cared for.
Some desirable features include power windows, power mirrors, sunroof, plus 4-wheel disc brakes, upgraded suspension, a converted 4-speed automatic transmission and classy 5-spoke aftermarket wheels with performance tires. The interior is does leave something to be desired but the original seats are in good condition. The exterior and drivetrain is where the money has been spent and it’s obvious from the curb and punching the gas pedal. It starts on command and drives true. Consider this car a driver that can be take car shows with pride.
This Z could possibly be the most fun you’ll ever have on the open road. More photos/video available upon request.

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.
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:
