The Work needed: Has ugly sunroof that leaks a little, interior was gutted so I could fix the floors and frame rails, front carb leaks a little fuel (I would get some rebuilt SU's), gas tank filler tube leaks if you fill the tank all the way, cheaper paint job over original brown in the early 1990's, side moulding removed and now has holes that need to be filled, body panels could stand to be adjust for gaps and smoothed out by a body guy, header gasket needs to be replaced, small hole about 1 foot from exhaust tip, interior needs to be thrown back together, some of the door moldings have been removed and will have to be replaced in order to drive in the rain.

My best friends brother owned this car in the early 1980's, my best friend owned it through the 1990's when we were in high school. I bought from him in 2010 because he has a family and didn't drive it. It is originally a Maine car and I have the original owner's book with the purchaser's name in it. I also have the paperwork from repairs that were made. Nothing too amazing there. Dash reads 68K miles and I believe that to be true. You can only drive this car for 5 or so months of the year in Maine. But the title is exempt because some repair papers stated that the mileage was higher. Either way the car runs and drives fine (needs a carb tune badly).

Bottom line, good car that needs someone who know cars to make really great.

Hit me up with questions and I will answer them.

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

There'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.

Datsun to unveil second model later this month

Sun, 08 Sep 2013

Datsun, 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.

Roadkill pits every project car against each other

Sat, 22 Feb 2014

The 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.
