This Datsun 240-Z is a stunning automobile with a mechanical refresh all Datsun / Nissan The attention to detail in the updating of this Datsun is impeccable. Video clips of the car starting, idling, and running are available upon request. The previous owner was a certifiable pro in Datsun cars and made this 240-Z the most talked about car I ever owned. When parking it anywhere it is an instant conversation piece. I did put in a new radio with MP3 jack to modernize the music to enjoy the car even a little more. The engine sounds throaty, the gears shift effortlessly, and the drive is one of the most fun you will ever experience. Brakes are excellent. The engine looks like a show piece and I have videos available of it for those interested. Simply immaculate and very easy to care for. This Datsun is either for the collector of vintage sports cars or a person like me who simply has enjoyed every minute of waxing it, caring for it, and driving it only in the perfect weather conditions. I suspect it has not seen rain in many years. A joy to own and experience. Selling simply because kids now in the college window and practicalities kicking in. All will be sad to see this car go. It is a gem that will make anyone feel like they owned the Japanese version of an "exotic," with the 240-Z soon to be a legend as the first Japanese sports car to be sold in the US. Anyone local welcome to come see and drive it. I am a former US Army officer and have taken great care of this car the for Z enthusiast.

Autoblog Podcast #339:
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.
Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A 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:
