1979 Nissan 280zx Chevy Chevrolet 350 Conversion No Reserve on 2040-cars

Year:1979 Mileage:0

Henderson, Nevada, United States

 Up for auction is a 1979 Nissan 280ZX with a 350 Chevy conversion and ground effects package.  My brother bought this car in Virginia (with my money!!) as a cool project, and did a lot of work on it until loosing his garage.  I brought the car here to Las Vegas where it is currently located, but I just have too many other projects, and do not have the time or resources to complete this Z.  As stated above, the car has a clear Virginia title, and is registered (with a Virginia tag), insured, and occasionally driven.  The 350 conversion was complete when my brother bought the car, and appears to have been professionally well done.  The car really pulls strong.  The motor has camelback double hump heads, a 2-row 1 1/4 inch aluminum radiator with electric fan, transmission cooler, crane roller rockers, electric fuel pump, Holly single pump dual feed 3310 750cfm carb, GM HEI distributor, chrome alternator and bracket and water pump pully, polished aluminum 350Z valve covers, Edelbrock performer intake, and headers with glass packs.  The car also has 4 wheel disc brakes, and Hankook Ventos V4ES tires that look to be almost new, a B&M Star shifter, Panasonic stereo, and a newly professionally re-covered dash with all new Autometer gauges (the gauges alone were over $1000).  The car fires right up, runs, drives and stops as it should.  I would rate the paint as a 6 on a scale of 1 to 10, but it hasn't been color sanded or buffed, and I think that would get it up to a 7 or 8.  The seats, door panels, and headliner are in good shape, and the carpet looks to be fairly recent.  The interior is missing some plastic pieces, but I think that the parts that I have taken a separate picture of will cover most of what is needed.  There is no heater or A/C.  The underside of the car shows some rust, and the frame rails have the typical ZX rot and need work.  I just noticed that the rear tail lights and turn signals do not work, but I will try to fix these if I have a few minutes, since they were working a couple of months ago.  As mentioned, the Autometer gauges are all new, and work properly except for the fuel gauge and the speedometer.  I think there is a sender issue with the fuel gauge, and I do not know why the speedo doesn't work since everything appears to be proper.  I listed the mileage as zero because the odometer did not work when my brother bought the car, and the actual mileage is unknown.  The new Autometer odometer currently reads zero.  There is no spare tire.  My cell phone number is 770-330-8539 (Jerry) if you have any questions.  There is no reserve after the low opening bid (the gauges and dash are worth the opening bid), which means this Z is gonna sell.  A $250 deposit is required within 24 hours after the auction end, and payment in full with car pickup is required within 7 days of the auction end.  Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.

In case you forgot, the Dubai Police supercar fleet is the coolest

Tue, Feb 10 2015

Ever wonder why the Dubai Police have a fleet of vehicles worth millions and millions and millions of dollars? Why it has a Bugatti Veyron and a Bentley Continental and a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG with sirens and light bars? Well, here's the reason. This video shows the fleet on display on the Emirate's roads and highways, while also reaching out to the people the police are meant to protect. It's an impressive display of machinery, to be sure. Alongside the Bentley, Bugatti and Mercedes, we spy a Ferrari FF, a Brabus G-Wagen, a BMW M6, a Nissan GT-R, an Audi R8 and a McLaren MP4-12C (although the latest Dubai Police car, the Lexus RC F, is absent). The video even has a very cinematic look and feel to it, which works well with the night scenes and the blues-and-twos of the exotics cruisers.

Recharge Wrap-up: Shift to offer Teslas for Hire, Model S P85D beats Ferrari in drag race

Mon, Dec 15 2014

A company called Shift plans to provide bikes and EVs for hire. Based in Las Vegas, NV, Shift will provide chauffeured ride services like Uber, but will also include a car- and bike-sharing service that delivers the desired wheels to the customer. Shift's fleet will include EVs like the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive and the Tesla Model S. Shift also promises that you will, "Be on your way within five minutes," which is a pretty tall order. Shift is scheduled to be available to members beginning this fall. Read more at The Car Connection. Nissan UK has confirmed the price of replacement batteries for the Leaf. UK drivers will be able to buy new batteries for 4,920 pounds (or about $7,738). That's considerably more than the price of $5,499 for US customers. Customers get 1,000 pounds back when they exchange their old battery. The original battery is covered under a five-year, 60,000-mile warranty, and most owners will never need to replace it. According to Nissan, only three replacement batteries have been sold out of 30,000 Leafs sold in Europe. Read more at Autocar. The Tesla Model S P85D walloped a Ferrari in an impromptu drag race video. The Ferrari driver pulls up alongside the Tesla and asks, "What you got in there?" before challenging him to a race. The Ferrari gets a head start, but the Tesla pulls out ahead quickly. The video also gets the reactions of some passengers to the car's mighty acceleration. See the video below and read the account of a drag race against a Lamborghini Aventador at Car Throttle. Australian website Drive has chosen their Cars of the Year in various categories. The Tesla Model S was a carryover winner for Luxury Car Over $80,000, but the Mercedes-Benz C200 narrowly overtook it to be crowned the overall winner. Regarding the Model S, one judge says, "This makes every other EV look at least a generation behind." The main thing that held the Tesla back from winning outright was the near-term lack of charging infrastructure. The judges did note Tesla's plans to build a network of Superchargers in Australia, but also pointed out that those plans exclude much of the country so far.

Recharge Wrap-up: Cruz defends ethanol stance, Bloomberg gets EV numbers wrong?

Sat, Jan 9 2016

Republican presidential hopeful Senator Ted Cruz is defending his stance against ethanol subsidies in an opinion piece in The Des Moines Register. In the piece, Cruz says he doesn't oppose ethanol, but opposes mandates and subsidies, favoring a "free and fair energy marketplace," and an "'all of the above' policy." "We should embrace all of the energy resources with which God has blessed America: oil and gas, coal, nuclear, wind, solar, and biofuels and ethanol," says Cruz, "But Washington shouldn't be picking winners and losers." To farmers' benefit, Cruz says he would enforce antitrust laws against those who try to keep ethanol out of the marketplace, and fight the EPA's hard blend walls prohibiting higher amounts of ethanol in gasoline. Read Cruz's article at The Des Moines Register, and read more from The Washington Times.Hybrid Cars calls out Bloomberg Business in a post saying it used inaccurate data in a piece highlighting dim plug-in sales. While the Bloomberg article, titled "Plug-in Electric Autos Left Behind in Record Year," accurately points out a slower year for EVs, it claims sales slipped 17 percent in 2015. According to data from Hybrid Cars, that decline was just 2.88 percent. Hybrid Cars claims that Bloomberg lumped a number of PHEVs with regular hybrids when it calculated the faulty data. Read more about the discrepancy and the more realistic picture of EV sales at Hybrid Cars.The National Biodiesel Board has hired Sandra Franco as general counsel. The Georgetown University Law Center graduate gained experience in environmental litigation during her time as a partner at the Morgan Lewis Law Firm.
