Car has extensive paper work including original sales sticker, original manual, and original warranty and service manual. Car had many repairs in 2004 as well as the paperwork to back it up. Car is in great shape and is easily one of the best 280's out there. 


The Good: Mechanically the car is very strong, all electronics work especially door light and bell when door is ajar as well as working engine bay light. A/C is cold, and the heat works great. Power windows and power mirrors all operate with out flaw. Dashboard is un-cracked, and interior is impeccable. Gear box and clutch are tight and deliver plenty of power to the rear wheels. Handling and braking are very sensitive and have all the power to take tight runs or bring the car to a fast halt. Extensive paperwork dating back to 1985. 

The Bad: With all 30+ year old cars it has some minor issues. Seeps oil and some leakage through moon roof. The moon roof is inoperable and chalked closed. The starter can sometimes be fiddly in the cold weather but a roll start is usually the answer. The car has some rust that was resulted in a poor paint prep. Some rust along roof line where windshield meets the roof as well as some rust on the cowl. 

I am the third owner of this vehicle and this car is nothing short of amazing. I always get looks and compliments and most of the time people think its a Porsche. I am listing this car with all aspects that have been presented to me and my knowledge; there may be unseen issues I am not aware of. Please use caution and do research before placing a bid on this car. Good luck and good bidding.

This car is being offered and posted to the best knowledge of the seller. Please ask questions before bidding if concerned. This car is being offered with no warranty guaranteed or implied. The buyer is responsible for all shipping related to the car.

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.

Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

You 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."
