I am selling this Z because I purchased it about 2 years ago with the intentions of freshening up the interior and repainting it and re-living the good old days (had one in high-school). It has turned into a bigger project than I have time for since I got married and my priorities have changed. I hate to let it go, and I hate to see it in its current state everyday also. The engine runs fine, but it needs a boost since the battery is dead. The transmission and rear end all worked fine last time I drove it (about a year ago). The paint is very rough but the body is in very good condition. Interior is rough, but is 90% there. The tires are old and will have to be replaced and the brake fluid has leaked down, not sure where. The car felt very road worthy before I parked it, I honestly dont think it will need much more than an interior and a paint job, go through the brakes and a new set of rubber. The previous owner replaced almost everything under the hood trying to get it to run right before i bought it and found the Cylinder Head Temp Switch connection was dirty. I replaced the instrument cluster with an analog model because it came with a digital one that didnt quite work right. I also replaced the harness. The a/c doesnt work/switch modes right, has the fancy automatic kind. I have a spare control unit for this I will include as well as several misc new tune up parts I never got around to installing. I will also include a brand new JVC CD player, still in the box, since I removed the old factory stereo and modified the lower dash for the new one. I will also include brand new Pyle 6x9 Speakers in carpeted enclosures and an 800w amp and 12" sub kit in a carpeted box, all brand new and purchased for this car. I will also include a set of 4 15inch "snowflake" wheels which I bought for the car and never got tires for. I have the title and paperwork transferring it to me and I will provide a bill of sale for you which should be all that is necessary. The car will have to be towed at buyers expense.

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.

Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

A quiet drive in the country can be the most relaxing thing in the world. What if it didn't have to end, and you could keep driving for a week, a month or even a whole year? That's what Scott Fisher is doing by taking a one-year sabbatical from work and driving his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster around North America.
"I had owned a manufacturing business in Las Vegas for 16 years. I knew I needed to kinda' get out, and unwind, and get my mojo back," said Fisher.
Fisher's trip has covered over 30,000 miles through 44 states and 7 Canadian Provinces, and it is not over yet. He left from his home in Las Vegas, NV, last spring and drove to the Pacific. From there, he drove up the coast to the Canadian border and aimed the car for the Atlantic. He just posted on his blog about visiting the Nissan headquarters and museum in Franklin, TN, and his next stops are Mississippi and New Orleans, LA.

37K miles in a 1967 Datsun Roadster

Tue, 11 Mar 2014

When 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.
