For sale I have a rust free 1980 Nissan 280ZX. Automatic transmission, air conditioning, power windows, cruise, power antenna, original am/fm cassette radio. Approximately 150,000 miles. Runs and drives great. I am the third owner I believe. The first 2 owners were brothers. This was a California car for most of it's life. It spent 1 yr. in Michigan, then I brought to Ohio to be restored. The body was taken down to bare metal, then every door, hood, hatch and piece of glass removed to do justice to this classic sports car with a flawless medium metallic blue paint job. Brakes are good, tires are like new.The interior is in good condition. The interior door panels are discolored from the sun. It has the original wheels which have fresh powder coat. I bought this car 2 1/2 yrs ago when I retired with the intention of keeping forever, so I didn't cut corners on any work done. I have pictures documenting all the work. I have 2 daughters getting married (weddings to pay for) , so some toys have to go. All this being said, the car is 33 yrs old, so don't expect a new car. However, I have set a low reserve for quick sale. This is great opportunity to get a very nice sports car for not a whole lot of money. The winning bidder must pay via pay pal a $50.00 nonrefundable deposit within 48 hrs of the auction's end. The balance must be paid in cash within 7 days. If you want to pay with any kind of check, you cannot take possession of the car until the check clears any and all banks involved. Buyer is responsible for shipping and any fees involved. I will make myself available and car available just about anytime with reasonable notice. Once you have made payment, I would be willing to store the car for up to 30 days. after that would be a $5 per day charge. Happy Bidding and good luck!

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.

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:

Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

Nobody does cars on the cheap quite like the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The former part of the equation already has its Dacia brand of cost-effective, no-frills vehicles that have become a favorite of Top Gear co-host James May, and last summer, the latter revived its Datsun nameplate for a budget brand of its own.
The reborn Datsun launched in India this past July with its Go hatchback, returned in September with the Go+ minivan and revealed the Redi-Go concept just last month. And now it's given us our first look at an upcoming budget sedan developed specifically for the Russian market.
The as-yet unnamed vehicle (which we'll bet will incorporate the word "go" into its nameplate somehow) is set to debut on April 4, where it will launch the Datsun brand in Russia. Few details are available at this point, but the low-cost sedan was designed in Japan to offer Russian drivers "an engaging driving experience, peace of mind ownership and accessibility at the right and transparent price, with a competitive Total Cost of Ownership."
