Just under 23,000 original miles! The body is in really good shape for a 33 year old car. The original black paint needs buffed in many areas, but buffing should bring it back to life. There are a few very small places that will probably need sanded and painted, mostly in the corners. The red pin-striping is perfect. The t-top windows still fit as snug as the day the car was new. They go in and out easily and they have the sun covers if you want. The slip-covers for the two glass t-tops are still with the car. All of the gages work. The interior is surprisingly sound, except for a few "dry" spots under the shifter. But, I have been slowy bringing it back to life with a product called "Wipe New." The radio works. The retractable antenna works. The cassette player works. The wheel wells behind the rear tires have a little rust. Nothing major, but should probably get some attention. The tires have less than 2,000 thousand miles on them. The battery is new (bought it 2 months ago). You can call me if you have any questions. My work number is 814-849-5334 (ext. 256). My hours are from 9am to 4pm Eastern Time. I am NOT a dealer.

This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair
Wed, 12 Nov 2014The Datsun 240Z got a lot of things right when it was introduced, with handsome styling, strong performance and a reasonably affordable price. And while the coupes grew a strong fan base in the US, they remained quite a rarity in the UK. Decades later, a father and son in England have latched onto the car and bonded over their shared love for two completely opposite takes on this Japanese GT
There's already quite a collection of exotics in Mel Streek's garage, and his rat rod 240Z, which he calls the Ratsun, definitely doesn't fit with the rest. On the outside, the Datsun looks ready to fall apart, but it's mechanically perfect underneath. Alternatively, Mel's son, Ollie, has a completely different take for his Z with its perfect, shining paint.
Both Zs sound amazing, though. They have a mechanical, somewhat course exhaust note that's intoxicating to hear. You can definitely tell there's some work going on under the hood. Check out this video from Petrolicious for a father and son who both find something to love in these classic Japanese coupes.
Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:
