Datsun/nissan 1980 280zx on 2040-cars
Canfield, Ohio, United States
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!

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.
Nissan IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts are a bridge to the Datsun 510
Wed, 20 Nov 2013We're not sure if someone from The Adjustment Bureau stopped by Nissan's PR department to explain the IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts, but the company's odd press release can't diminish our love for these two show favorites. We had been told to look out for an unnamed Datsun 510 BRE homage, and once we saw the brothers IDx, we knew we'd found them. But the press release doesn't mention anything about the Datsun 510 Brock Racing Enterprises, nor does it mention one Mr. Peter Brock, the man who won two Trans-Am championships in the Seventies for the nascent Japanese budget brand.
Instead, it declares that the cars were the result of a co-creation product development process with "digital natives," said natives being the whippersnappers born after 1990. Nissan says it worked with the young'uns to create two different expressions of "their desire for a basic, authentic configuration for a car." If that's true, it appears that what the kiddies really want are... two different homages to the Datsun 510 BRE that Peter Brock used to win two championships in the seventies for the nascent Japanese brand.
The IDx Freeflow - the "ID" is for "identification," the "x" is "the variable representing the new values and dreams born through communication" - takes the casual approach, with a light khaki exterior hue, a minimalist interior decked out in denim and a console shifter that works a continuously variable transmission. The IDx Nismo is out for blood, from its crimson interior to its five-point harness to its bolt-on flares and sidepipes. We aren't told what the digital natives requested for powerplants, but that's alright; if this is what "co-creation" looks like, we're not entirely against it except where that "CVT" is involved.
Datsun to unveil second model later this month
Sun, 08 Sep 2013Datsun, Nissan's new sub-brand for emerging markets, has announced plans to unveil its second model. Its first, the Go, was unveiled almost two months ago, and promised affordable, connected motoring for five in a handsome hatchback body. Datsun is following that up with a pair of new models for Indonesia.
The first of these two new vehicles will be shown on September 17 in Jakarta, eschewing the typical auto show debut. It's targeted at so-called "risers," the nickname for a group of highly aspirational customers in the Indonesian market. Datsun developed it locally with help from Nissan, and it'll cost under 100 million Indonesian rupiah (about $8,900 at today's rates).
We'll have the full boatload of information on the newest member of the Datsun family when it debuts on September 17. Scroll on to read the full press release from Datsun.
