I am the second owner of this vehicle. Purchased from the original owner in 1976, 37 years ago (who I interviewed) with 30,000 miles. I drove it from 1976 to 1989 and accumulated 135,553 miles. Have a Holley 4 barrel conversion kit and pre 1973 carburetors (SU Type). Do not have the original 1973 carburetors. Took the car out of service in 1989 and stripped to the body. All of the items taken off the car along with the engine where stored inside. The car was blasted with baking soda and primed. The shop I gave the car to to do the body work went out of business, I was out of the country and never got back to it. The car sat outside covered with a tarp from 1993 to present. All items removed from the running car included. The dash, console, and seats are included although not pictures as they were stored in another location. The dash has 2 cracks on top as they usually do. Seats are in good shape considering age. The aftermarket fiberglass nose kit is shown on the car, the original headlight bezels and front lower cowling are included. The original left front fender is included although dented, a replacement aftermarket left front fender is shown on the car. The car originally came with a York A/C compressor which was swapped for a rotary compressor installed on the lower left side of the engine in the air pump location.

Condition:The body is in good shape, dent free. There is rust around the back of the seat mounts, the rest of the body is sound. Rocker panels are in good shape and sound. Lower fender wells have surface rust but it will sand off, no rust penetrations. See the tapping video. The car was repainted twice. Both times by the owner. The 2nd time it was stripped, zinc chromate primed and finished in Porsche 565 Metallic Silver Acrylic Lacquer.

Original engine and transmission with matching VIN.

Shipping and Payment: Cash Payment. Free on Board, Buyer responsible for picking up, packaging, and transport from Anniston, Alabama. (3 miles off of I-20 Exit 188, available for pick-up between November 21st - 27th only)

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.

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.

This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

The 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.
