1983 Nissan 280zx Base Coupe 2-door 2.8l on 2040-cars
Russell, Kentucky, United States
|
I am selling this car for a friend. The car is sitting in his backyard. Several years ago, I think 2-3 but possibly longer, he took this to the auto body shop and had some engine work done on it. At that time he was told that, "THE FRAME WAS RUSTED AND THAT THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE." Ever since it has sat in his backyard. Therefore, this car is being sold AS-IS, and anyone that wants it will have to bring a truck or trailer and tow or remove it from the yard. Under no circumstance will this car be able to be or be allowed to be driven off the property. 9/7/2013: I've called the autobody shop and they didn't maintain any records as to where the damage or the rusting out to the frame was, so I can't pinpoint that information for prospective buyers. 9/7/2013: The battery on this car was dead and wouldn't hold a charge. I can't tell you whether the engine would start right up without a new battery, and I can't say whether there is gas in the tank--which would be over 3 years old. These are items you will have to resolve upon transporting the car to your location. That said, this was the last year they made the Nissan 280ZX. After 1983, Nissan made the nasty 300ZX, which looked like a cross between a yard Jart and a Mazda. The 280ZX had style and class, and this is what you will be trying to restore back into this car, provided the frame can be replaced and/or repaired. Like is said, this is a strip it down and rebuild it to its former glory kind of project. 9/7/2013: The passenger side front fender is rusted, as pictured, but this car comes with a replacement fender from the owner's last attempt to revitalize the car (see photo). These are not easy to come by on this 30-year old car, and not cheap either. Guaranteed to have a clear title, or if necessary a rebuild or salvage title. The person I am selling this for is a local official, so you will leave with the car and title--or not at all. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO GO DOWN TO THE COURTHOUSE AND EXCHANGE TITLE, YOU WILL NOT LEAVE WITH THE CAR. No taking care of it later. Please contact me with any questions. I live about 5 minutes from the car. Please review the pictures. They are fairly representative, although they were taken a season ago. Contact for updated pictures and information, and if you are in the area, then by al means please feel free to make an appointment with me to see the car in person--I highly recommend it. I will update the auction with as much information as I can, as it becomes available to me. |

Nissan's Carlos Ghosn taps the brakes on autonomous car progress
Fri, 18 Jul 2014
"Self-driving cars remain a long way from commercial reality."
Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn shocked the automotive industry last year when he announced that his company plans to offer consumers an autonomous car by 2020. The automaker even showed off its self-driving Leaf prototype as proof. He was bolder recently with the pronouncement that select markets could have them in 2018, if laws allowed. The boss' optimism appears to be waning, though, and he's now sounding a lot more conservative about the future. While driverless vehicles are still on the way, Ghosn is hedging his bets with a more gradual implementation of several systems.
2014 Nissan Versa Note
Tue, 29 Oct 2013The original Austin Mini was not designed as a fun-to-drive, sporty small car. Its go-kart-like handling and general chuckability were an unintended byproduct of essential aspects of its design. Its four wheels were pushed to the absolute corners of the car to maximize interior space, and its front-wheel-drive layout and transversely mounted engine were in contrast to the rear-wheel-drive, longitudinal layouts of the day.
The result was a highly economical car with space for four and some luggage that just happened to be an absolute hoot to drive. Nissan has followed a similar path in the design of its Versa Note, which strives to provide the maximum amount of space and efficiency in a minimal footprint. On this front, it's successful.
First, we must salute Nissan for departing from the styling of the malformed kidney bean it calls the Versa Sedan. The Versa Note is a fashionably conservative design that neither offends nor excites. The front fascia is arguably its most conservative point, with high-mounted headlights and a sharper, cleaner version of Nissan's familial grille. The tail, with its funky I-don't-know-what-shape-I-am taillights contributes most of the car's flair. The large, spacious greenhouse, particularly up front, keeps passengers from feeling hemmed-in while letting in plenty of light.
Nissan Leaf becomes least expensive 5-seat EV with massive price drop
Mon, 14 Jan 2013In a roundtable interview today at the North American International Auto Show, Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn announced a $6,400 price drop for the base-model 2013 Nissan Leaf. Last year's base model was $35,200, while the new base-level 2013 Leaf S starts at $28,800. Ghosn says the new prices make the Leaf the least expensive five-seater electric for sale in the US.
Some of the lower cost is due to a difference in content from last year's low-end model to this year's. But a sizable portion can be chalked up to the Leaf's production moving from Japan to Tennessee. The 2013 Leaf is not only assembled in the US now, but its lithium-ion batteries and the car's electric motors are manufactured in the same southern state.
The Leaf SV will be priced from $31,820 for 2013 compared to $35,200 last year. The high-end Leaf SL now starts at $34,840, down from the 2012 model's $37,250. These models also have differences in content. One big one is a new 6.6-kWh charger that reduces charging times pretty dramatically.
