 This Z is an incredibly well preserved 70's time capsule. One owner since 1977,completely unmodified, impecably maintained, and always garage kept. 100% documentation (including a log of every fuel tank fill up) and all maintenance records dating back to time of purchase included. This car has always been (lightly) driven regularly, and I have yet to see a better example of an unmodified '77 daily driver in this condition. Actual mileage is 109513 - 1 roll over at 99,999 + the 9514 you see on the odometer. Be skeptical of the sub 50k mileage figures stated on many cars of this vintage listed for sale. 100% stock L28 OHC fuel injected V6, rare 3 spd auto trans, new battery, recent routine maintenance, 195/70 14 Michelins with original wheel covers and center caps, rare lower body trim panels, and original factory A/C cold & fully operational. This car is currently registered and passed California's super stringent enhanced smog test in Feb 2013. This is a clear testament to the fine condition of the engine, emissions, and exhaust system. Factory metallic copper paint with pin striping is almost flawless. Looks incredible even on the overcast day the attached pics were taken. Just one small anamolous area of rust behind the pass. side wheel. The rest of the body shows no signs of rust. All glass is perfect. The interior is all original and the door panels, cargo area, headliner, original(working) AM/FM radio,original carpet and passenger seat look factory fresh. The dash pad has the typical splitting above the center gauges seen in most vintage Z's, and there are tears on the original driver's seat. Climate control currently doesn't switch over to heat or defrost. This might be repaired prior to sale.

Going to let this beautiful car go for way below the average selling price for '77 Z's in this condition as it has a California "Revived Salvage" title. It was briefly stolen and recovered in 1993. The insurance company "totaled" the car even though the only significant damage was a broken driver side window and a broken shift lock('70's Z's had a ridiculously low blue book value in 1993). The title designation means the car was reported by the insurance company as "totaled"(repair cost exceeded period blue book value of the car) and was later certified by  DMV inspection to be 100% road worthy after repair. The whole incident and subsequent repairs have 100% documentation, which are available for your review.

Don't pass up this incredible opportunity to own a beautifully preserved '77 280Z in original condition. This is a head turner as is, and could be a show car with only minor restoration. It's also the perfect virgin blank canvas for someone with big plans.  A non-refundable deposit of $500 is due within 48 hrs of auction close. Buyer is responsible for pick up, or must arrange their own shipping.  Let me know if you have any questions.

Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

The Datsun name may have long since been replaced by Nissan, but the old brand is making a comeback - in certain markets, at least. Nissan relaunched the Datsun brand in July as its new budget brand for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback, and has now followed up with the addition of the larger Go+.
Set to be built in Indonesia at Nissan's plant in Purwakarta, the Go+ debuts today in the capital of Jakarta as the second model in the new Datsun lineup. The seven-passenger minivan features flexible seating in a compact form 13 feet long, powered by an unspecified 1.2-liter engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
Nissan isn't saying much else about the model, but hopes the new Datsun twins will account for half of its sales in Indonesia within three years. The low price target for both models - set to come in at less than 100 million rupiah ($8,700) - ought to help it get there. The lineup is then scheduled to reach other markets, starting with India, Russia and South Africa next year.

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 officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

In March of 2012, Nissan announced the return of its historic Datsun brand. Datsun used to represent the Nissan brand in a number of markets, but its badge hasn't been worn on a new model since 1981. In 2013, though, it has been relaunched as the Japanese manufacturer's budget offering in the emerging markets of India and Russia.
The model that will lead that charge, at least in India, is the Go, a car that pays tribute to the very first Datsun, the DAT-GO.
The operative term with the Datsun brand is: "budget offering." Don't step inside the Go and expect beautiful hides or brushed metals (it's being sold in India, after all). The instrument cluster features a simple speedometer, while the five-speed manual and the center stack above it are rather barren. It's not without luxuries, though, as iPod-style connectivity is available through a Mobile Docking Station.
