1971 Datsun 240z Recently Restored - White on 2040-cars
Houston, Texas, United States
This recently restored 1971 Datsun 240Z is one of the nicest Zs you will find. No expense was spared in its restoration.
Completely media-blasted, every nut and bolt was removed and restored or replaced with new. No rust. Has not seen a wet road in the past two years. All new urethane bushings everywhere. Front airdam. Dynamat was installed inside and the “dirty” side was undercoated. New NOS dash and taillights, Z Therapy carbs on the rebuilt and stock 2.4L engine. (Not a matching number car, as the original engine was destroyed due to a tuning mishap.) An ’82-’83 5-speed and R200 3.90 differential is installed. Runs like a new car. No surprises. Car equipped with power windows, power locks, air conditioning, new retractable seat belts, tinted windows, outside mirror upgrade. New interior. Headlight relay harness installed. Rare manual throttle on console. Toyota truck brake (front) upgrade. Stock suspension and period correct wheels, not lowered or modified. Original radio in place. Modern radio in glove box, but not connected to speakers; speaker wires under the carpet but not connected to speakers. Speakers come with car. Approximately 118,000 miles on chassis and 1,000 miles on engine. VIN: HLS30 15653 Build Date: 12/1970 I have owned this car for a bit over two years, but it’s time to move on. The winning bidder will not be disappointed with his “new” Z. |

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.
Roadkill pits every project car against each other
Sat, 22 Feb 2014The guys behind Motor Trend's monthly Roadkill series have collected nine of their favorite project cars from their videos and pitted them against each other in a battle royale to determine a winner. It's 44 minutes long, but it's completely worth the investment of time.
The cars run the gamut from a 1973 Chevrolet Ramp Truck, a 1975 AMC Pacer and a legitimately impressive 1967 Chevy Camaro, and they are pitted against each other to see which is the fastest around an autocross course. The drivers include Roadkill's two hosts and Motor Trend's Johnny Lieberman and Carlos Lago. It's reminiscent of the best episodes of Top Gear and worth a watch.
So it's the weekend - the perfect time to relax. Grab your preferred beverage, get comfortable and enjoy 44 minutes of some seriously ratty but utterly cool project cars as they are throttled within an inch of their lives (or past it). Scroll down to check out the video.
