The Iconic 1978 Datsun 280z.  This show winner 280z is an original example of this classic car that drives great and looks great.  Garage kept for 35 years, all documents and receipts from day 1, this car serviced by Rob at The Z Car Garage in San Jose California "one of the nicest 280Z I have seen!".  This no-rust car was repainted the original silver 10 years ago and look just like new today, no modifications, seats recovered in 2012 original black leather.  The engine and 4-speed manual transmission are strong at 105,766 miles with newer tires and brakes and a recent $2,340 top to bottom service by Z Car Garage in Feb. 2013 (gas tank cleaned out, tank painted & new fuel pump, alterantor and battery installed, tune-up, etc).  This 280z won 1st place in the 280Z category at the 2012 Z-Car Nationals in Los Angeles (sponsored by MotorSports).  This 1978 280Z is the last year Datsun built the first generation Z's and this car has the larger 2.8L Boshe fuel injection engine, with no-rust, this makes a great collector car "as is".  280Z are becoming more collectable and prices are rising.  This car is one of the best original examples you will find and is Hagerty Valued at $13,875 (see Hagerty evaluation link below).  This car has a dealer installed moon roof that opens, dealer installed side kick plates, comes with custom car cover, inset rear lovers (not on car now), clear headlight covers (not on car now).  I can arrange shipping anywhere.  Please watch the videos and enjoy the pictures and contact me with further questions.  This car does not have air conditioning but original factory air it can be added for about $1000.  This car get compliments every time she go out for a drive, truly an head-turner and fun example of collectable Iconic Z.

Obviously, this car is well cared for and runs solid, but is sold "as is" and no warranty.  I suggest you view the car prior to purchase located in Sacramento, CA 95823 or ask question prior to purchase.  Known issues with the car is the car clock on the dash board does not keep accurate time, minor wear on driver door seal, power antenna stopped working and is now used as a manual antenna, small crack on the center console, small vinyl patch on drive door.  These issues are low cost fixable items.  The engine is strong and has even compression over cylinders (in Feb. 2013 per Z Car Garage), and has a new battery and new fluids.  Thanks for viewing and happy bidding.

Malaise Era All-Stars

Fri, 17 May 2013

A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:

First new Datsun in decade sketched, set for Indian reveal

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

Nissan's Datsun nameplate revival will begin with two models bound for the Indian market. Nissan has released sketches of a five-door hatchback based on the Micra (codenamed K2) and a top-down view of a hood that could potentially be from a sedan.
The company's press release says all will be revealed on July 15 in New Delhi, India. The Datsun lineup will be first offered in 2014 to that country's ride-deprived residents as well as Indonesia and Russia. Later in 2014, South Africa will join the list.
We've heard Nissan plans for Datsuns to share platforms with company-owned Lada. In January, we heard the projected price tag could be around $3,000 USD to compete with Chinese imports. The official press release (which can be read in full below) says nothing about either of these reports, however.
