Datsun 280z Custom on 2040-cars
Bradenton, Florida, United States
|
This is a beautiful 1977 Datsun 280Z Custom in Liquid Silver. This car has been a project of my fathers and I for many years. It is a blast to drive with a Chevy 350 V8 and automatic transmission with shift kit. As you can see from the pictures the front bumper has been replace with an aftermarket bumper/air dam and rear bumper have been removed and professional body work has been done to make the lines of the body flow. Body is free of rust and has no stress crack anywhere. Many thing have been updated such as:
Wheels and tire Tokico Illumina 5 way adjustable struts Ground Control coil overs (anodized red and gold) Rear disc brakes Polyurethane bushings throughout Edelbrock 650 carb with electronic choke New fuel pump New oversized Radiator New Carpet Roll cage Custom door panels Custom mirrors Rear wing Unfortunately my mother has become ill and have not been able to use the car as much as I would like. Therfore I have chosen to sell it. My loss is your gain. |

This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair
Wed, 12 Nov 2014The 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.

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There'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.
