The glass is all original, but was etched in the 80's as it was commonplace to do so. I think it adds to it's originality and authenticates it's era."

First time ever on the market, this stunning 280ZX has only 39,000 original documented miles, and was purchased out of a private Z collection. That's correct, only 39,000 original miles!!!!! A true survivor, almost completely original...This Z is a real car inside and out, and is investment quality in every aspect. Just serviced at a Nissan dealership, she is mechanically sound, fires right up and purrs like a kitten. Fresh Yokohama tires, new battery, and correct oil was oil this incredible throwback needed to make it road ready. Documented with the original history of maintenance and repair orders from the dealer, the original windowsticker, a sales and purchase agreement from 1999, original books and keys, a certified appraisal back in 2008 and previous registrations. I drove this car personally, and it is an absolute joy to drive!!  Just as tight as a 39,000 original well kept car should be~~~ Or maybe you want to continue to store her for a future Barrett Jackson sale, it's entirely up to you!  This is a pretty loaded car, with an original MSRP of $12457 back in 79!! Optioned up with factory air conditioning, two tone paint, aluminum wheel option, luxury package option, pushbutton am/fm stereo, power windows, power steering, cruise control, rear wiper washer, cloth upholstery, raised letter radials, computer sensor system, power mirrors, door map pockets, and yes, it is a stick!  The original brown on the two tone paint option was beginning to show it's age, so it was professionally painted in 2010 to give it back its showroom luster. The rest of the paint is all original and in excellent condition to match the new paint.  If you have any questions, please feel free to email me or call me, I will be happy to talk with you at 860-601-0236.  Thanks for your interest, and good luck! Again, if you are a Z lover or collector, I reiterate that this particular car has never been on the market before.  It has not seen the auction circuit, has not been listed on the internet sites or forums. Don't miss it!

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

There'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.

First new Datsun in decade sketched, set for Indian reveal

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

Nissan's Datsun nameplate revival will begin with two models bound for the Indian market. Nissan has released sketches of a five-door hatchback based on the Micra (codenamed K2) and a top-down view of a hood that could potentially be from a sedan.
The company's press release says all will be revealed on July 15 in New Delhi, India. The Datsun lineup will be first offered in 2014 to that country's ride-deprived residents as well as Indonesia and Russia. Later in 2014, South Africa will join the list.
We've heard Nissan plans for Datsuns to share platforms with company-owned Lada. In January, we heard the projected price tag could be around $3,000 USD to compete with Chinese imports. The official press release (which can be read in full below) says nothing about either of these reports, however.

Roadkill pits every project car against each other

Sat, 22 Feb 2014

The 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.
