Amazingly, the wife has finally given me permission to offer our beautiful 280ZX for sale. The "Z-Car" is the best selling sports car of all time. Whenever I take the car out, I always receive many, many compliments. With the compliments of course comes the obligatory "Z Stories!" It seems like everyone I run into has either owned a Z car or has had a friend or family member who used to own a Z. And boy do they have stories! LOL!!!
I am only the second owner, purchasing it in 1995. Although we love "our baby," my wife and I simply don't drive it. It's lucky to be driven 150 miles/year. It just sits in the garage under the car cover way too much. It needs to go to a new owner who will drive it, enjoy it and create their own memories.
This is one of the nicest, cleanest Datsun 280ZX's you'll find anywhere. The car has never seen a winter. It has the preferred 5 speed manual transmission; Approx. 111k miles; and runs beautifully! The car has been adult owned its entire life and has never been beaten on. It has been truly babied.
The car is beautiful, but it's not quite perfect. I mean it is 33 years old. Just a few items to point out, specifically:
1. The speedometer cable just started making noise. It may need to be greased or replaced.
2. Some of the vinyl has started to pull away in the back, rear hatch area (not too noticeable, but it is pulling away).
3. The only blemish on the exterior of the car is a ding on the driver's door. Please refer to the picture of it.
Other than that, the car runs great. The transmission shifts smoothly and everything works as it should. The AC still blows ice cold!!! If you're looking for a nice original Z Car that has been pampered its entire life, this is your car. The car has never, ever seen a winter. During the 18 years that I've owned the car, I can only recall one time the car ever saw rain. And for that I blame the weatherman on a bad forecast!
Should you have any questions, please feel free to call my cell at 585-314-2760. Thanks, Steve
Unfortunately, there are not too many of these cars left that are in this pristine condition. Hurry as the wife may change her mind!

37K miles in a 1967 Datsun Roadster
Tue, 11 Mar 2014When we think of comfy, long-distance road cars, there are a few obvious choices. A Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Bentley Continental GT or, assuming fuel efficiency isn't paramount, a Range Rover are all good options for a road trip. But what if that road trip was 37,000 miles? Maybe something more reliable but still comfortable, then, like a Honda Accord. What about a 1967 Datsun Roadster?
As insane as it sounds, Scott Fisher is doing just that, running a Datsun 1600 Roadster across North America and racking up 13,500 miles in his first three months on the road. His total journey will see him pile over 37,000 miles on his red convertible. The car is lightly modified, but most of the work is for the sake of reliability and comfort, with a five-speed manual 'box, an upgraded radiator and electronic ignition.
Fisher's trip hasn't been all smooth, with a few typical bits of trouble. He also ran into some deer in Utah, quite literally, clipping one of the animals, which delivered quite a bit of damage to the passenger's front fender (hence the rear three-quarter view in our lead shot). Still, the car seems to be holding up well, as shown in this latest video from Petrolicious.
Datsun to unveil second model later this month
Sun, 08 Sep 2013Datsun, Nissan's new sub-brand for emerging markets, has announced plans to unveil its second model. Its first, the Go, was unveiled almost two months ago, and promised affordable, connected motoring for five in a handsome hatchback body. Datsun is following that up with a pair of new models for Indonesia.
The first of these two new vehicles will be shown on September 17 in Jakarta, eschewing the typical auto show debut. It's targeted at so-called "risers," the nickname for a group of highly aspirational customers in the Indonesian market. Datsun developed it locally with help from Nissan, and it'll cost under 100 million Indonesian rupiah (about $8,900 at today's rates).
We'll have the full boatload of information on the newest member of the Datsun family when it debuts on September 17. Scroll on to read the full press release from Datsun.
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.
