This is an Awesome 240Z in super nice low mile condition. Classic Z car has been restored with performance in mind...meticulously maintained and loved. Has nice period and modern updates to make it a reliable, fun, and FAST driver. Drivetrain and suspension completely rebuilt and up-graded less than 10,000 miles ago... have receipts.  Looks, runs, feels, and drives great. Excellent daily driver or weekend cruiser, track car, or addition to any collection. A true head turner and a blast to drive.

Body is straight with no signs of rust or collision damage that I can see. Older driver quality repaint in Datsun blue metallic presents nicely with some niks and blemishes. Underside is straight except for 2 spots where a dummy jacked the car wrong (normal z issue)... those spots have started to rust and one small spot on the drivers floor board.,, not a big deal... frame is fine. Suspension has been rebuilt and up-graded with new bushings, Tokiko shocks, Eibach springs and bigger sway bar.


Interior is in nice shape...  Panels and Carpet look good... new headliner and trim just installed. I assume dash is cracked under the cover, Redone seats have a couple of seam splits. Gauges and electronics work properly, except the clock (of course!). Push button start.

Now for the best part... Rebuilt and massaged L28 Motor starts, runs, and idles excellent... Super responsive with nicely tuned. Headers and custom exhaust sounds awesome and feels extremely strong. Dual webbers and electronic ignition work great. Rebuilt 4 Speed trans with performance clutch shifts smooth through the gears. Suspension feels tight and handles excellent. Stops straight and sure. Has R200 POSI rear!!! A really nice up-grade... Great, FAST driver.

Overall this is a nice little hot rod classic Z in great condition all around... it is extremely well maintained and nicely up-graded. Awesome daily driver or weekend cruiser, or track car. I am a Z collector... this is a great one for any Z car enthusiast, collector, or anyone looking for a cool, original vintage sports car at a great price.

The car is located in Beverly Hills... Inspections are welcome and encouraged... serious buyers can call me at 310 850 8980 but no tire kickers please. I'm open to interesting trades (in accordance with ebay guidelines) but no projects or junk please.

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:

This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

The Datsun 240Z got a lot of things right when it was introduced, with handsome styling, strong performance and a reasonably affordable price. And while the coupes grew a strong fan base in the US, they remained quite a rarity in the UK. Decades later, a father and son in England have latched onto the car and bonded over their shared love for two completely opposite takes on this Japanese GT
There's already quite a collection of exotics in Mel Streek's garage, and his rat rod 240Z, which he calls the Ratsun, definitely doesn't fit with the rest. On the outside, the Datsun looks ready to fall apart, but it's mechanically perfect underneath. Alternatively, Mel's son, Ollie, has a completely different take for his Z with its perfect, shining paint.
Both Zs sound amazing, though. They have a mechanical, somewhat course exhaust note that's intoxicating to hear. You can definitely tell there's some work going on under the hood. Check out this video from Petrolicious for a father and son who both find something to love in these classic Japanese coupes.

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.
