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 debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]
Wed, 18 Sep 2013The Datsun name may have long since been replaced by Nissan, but the old brand is making a comeback - in certain markets, at least. Nissan relaunched the Datsun brand in July as its new budget brand for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback, and has now followed up with the addition of the larger Go+.
Set to be built in Indonesia at Nissan's plant in Purwakarta, the Go+ debuts today in the capital of Jakarta as the second model in the new Datsun lineup. The seven-passenger minivan features flexible seating in a compact form 13 feet long, powered by an unspecified 1.2-liter engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
Nissan isn't saying much else about the model, but hopes the new Datsun twins will account for half of its sales in Indonesia within three years. The low price target for both models - set to come in at less than 100 million rupiah ($8,700) - ought to help it get there. The lineup is then scheduled to reach other markets, starting with India, Russia and South Africa next year.
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.
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."
