This is a 1977 Datsun 280Z with a 5speed manual trans,2.8 inline 6 cylinder. Now you must remember this is a 35 year old car but still is in real good shape with minimal rust. It has a dime sized paint bubble in lower part of front fenders also a small rust piant bubble at gas tank door. If you know these cars you know some of there issues like the floor pan rails rusting but they have been replaced.This car came from Califfornia where I bought it. It was a donated car for a tax credit and bought a auction, this is were it got the prior salvage title. I bought the car in 1999 and my wife has driven it up to last fall and has sat in the shop. I just put new carpet in it,it has a couple of small tears in passenger seat. But all in all interior is in pretty nice condition.The paint is in fair condition for a 14 year old paint job, the driver side was redone recently to repair a key scartch and a little rust in lower rear quarter behind wheel. Now again if you know these cars the dash has the typical cracks in it but is covered with a dash pad cover. The car has newer front tires and the back are fair. I also put on wheel adapters so I could use something nicer than slotted mags or later model z wheels, now you can us a large varity of aftermarket wheels. It shows 88,000 mile so I'm sure it is 188000 miles but run real well, does use a quart between oil changes. This is a real nice daily driver Not a show car, But I have seen not as nice a car in car shows. Please ask any questions before bidding I will gladly answer them. Thanks Brian

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.

Datsun's lackluster initial sales fall below Tata Nano
Wed, 15 Oct 2014When Tata introduced the Nano back in 2008, everyone was amazed at how cheap it was. They called it a game changer, but no game was changed. In fact, it took Tata five years to sell the 250,000 units it had the capacity to build in a single year. As it turns out, even buyers in what economists call "developing markets" like India aren't necessarily interested in buying an ultra-cheap automobile. And now it appears that Nissan may be falling into the same trap.
A little over a year ago, Nissan revived its old moniker Datsun to serve as a budget brand - similar to what ally Renault did with Dacia. Its lineup (consisting of models like the Go hatchback, Go+ minivan, On-Do sedan and Mi-Do hatch) is largely based on old architecture, packaged with little more than basic equipment and sold at rock-bottom prices. But Bloomberg reports that, even in the brand's core markets like India and Indonesia, the new Datsuns haven't been selling.
According to local industry figures, Datsun has sold fewer than 10,000 units of its $5,100 Go hatchbacks in India since its introduction back in March. Maruti Suzuki, by comparison, sells twice that many of its similarly priced Alto hatchbacks every month. In fact, after peaking in April, Datsun only sold 607 units in India this past July, dipping 77 percent to drop below even the number of Nanos which Tata sold that month.
