1980 280zx Rare Hard Top on 2040-cars
East Rockaway, New York, United States
|
Up for sale is this rare Hardtop 280zx. Hardtops are very rare from 1979 and up. I bought this car in the beginning of the year with the sole intent of doing a motor swap. I've never registered the car and now am blessed with twins so project has to go. (also have a Harley Road King for sale). This car was the perfect candidate for a motor swap.....auto/rust free/hardtop! The car was a California car its whole life until 2013 hence it being rust free. I purchased it from a gentleman in Ohio who got it from Cali. He took all moldings and glass off the car and brought it down to the bare metal before painting. I have all pics to prove it. This is my 5th Z and I've never not had one without some rust somewhere, not even above the tail lights when you open the hatch. I included pics of all angles. Obviously there is SURFACE rust on the undercarriage like every car exposed to the elements but no ROT. The interior is just ok, well seats are in good condition and hatch panels were replaced but some dash pieces are not so good.....BUT I will be including the spare replacement parts that are needed to freshen it back up. For instance the plastic on the gauge cluster is scratched and/or foggy. So I will include another gauge cluster. Also the tiny vent on the bottom side of the dash are broke so I will be including those as well The only thing I'm missing is the stainless trim piece that goes around the shifter. The tires are like new and the factory wheels were reconditioned. The car runs and drives and the AC is cold. Power antenna also is functioning. Car has an exhaust leak and sounds like it could use a set of plugs. But as I stated the intention was to do a motor swap, I was purchasing a complete 2JZ drivetrain (same as last gen supra) from Japan. So engine, auto tranny, and ECU average $2300 - $2800. This swap with absolutely no modifications will give you a 150hp increase over stock. Or if you choose throw in a V8 but like I said car runs and drives with no problem. I included as many pics as possible but if there are any others you want let me know.
I will assist in pick up or delivery |

Datsun Redi-Go is reborn brand's first concept car [w/video]
Wed, 05 Feb 2014Nissan's plan for its reborn Datsun sub-brand just got a shot in the arm, as the emerging-market manufacturer has unveiled its first concept car since its resurrection back in 2012. Called the Redi-Go Concept, it looks like a high-riding version of Datsun's recently launched Go hatchback that's been fitted with a few concept car cues (not a bad thing).
The Redi-Go packs LED taillights, Datsun's "D-cut grille" and LED running lights into its Go-inspired body. Funky two-tone 15-inch wheels add a bit of cheek to the overall design, and in our minds look quite good, despite being so small. The ruggedized front and rear bumpers, as well as the sill and wheel arch surrounds add to the Redi-Go's rough-and-tumble aesthetic. We like that Datsun has kept the overall package short, giving the Redi-Go a 92.5-inch wheelbase, rather than creating a lifted version of the upcoming Go+. There are no specific mentions of the Redi-Go's mechanicals, although we'd wager that a production model might share the 1.2-liter engine and five-speed manual found in the standard Go.
While it might be easy to dismiss a concept like the Redi-Go in America, there's no denying its importance to the Indian market, which is decidedly more limited when it comes to available bodystyles. "If we were to make a car like Datsun Redi-Go Concept it would be a segment creator in India, an aspirational car that at the same time is attainable, a car that would be within reach of the first time buyer. This concept shows how serious we are about reinvigorating the market by catering for the needs of a growing class of Indians who have the chance to own a family car that will enable them to enjoy a new sense of independence," said Vincent Cobee, the global head of Datsun.
Datsun expands low-cost revival with new Mi-Do in Moscow [w/video]
Fri, 29 Aug 2014Those who were disappointed when Datsun changed its name to Nissan over three decades ago may have been pleased to see the marque revived last year, even as a budget brand. Nissan's counterpart to its ally Renault's Dacia budget brand, Datsun has been steadily expanding its lineup of low-cost transportation for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback in India, the Go+ minivan in Indonesia and the On-Do sedan in Russia. And now it has returned to Moscow to reveal its fourth model, the Mi-Do.
Based closely on the On-Do sedan (which itself is based on the Lada Granta) the Mi-Do takes on a five-door hatchback bodystyle but with no more frills. It uses the same front-drive chassis with the same wheelbase as the sedan, but its chopped tail makes it a good foot and a half shorter overall. Into that compact shape, Datsun has fitted dual airbags, ABS and... well, that's about it. It's got a 1.6-liter, eight-valve inline-four kicking out a grand total of 87 horsepower to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. Bare bones, this is.
While delivery of the first On-Do sedans commences next month (with the first example going to an IT specialist in Omsk), the Mi-Do is set to begin delivery early next year. Scope out the video and press release below from the Mi-Do's reveal at the Moscow Motor Show.
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.
