The car was built by a race car co. in Atlanta and was done very cleanly and correctly. It handles very well.

A set of lowering springs come with the car but not installed.The rear end was replaced with with a newer ZX one with a 373 gear.The car runs off a mechanical fuel pump but a electric one was installed for future modifications if needed. All lights,turn signals and wipers work. Interior has new carpet and leather seats from Katz and a factory leather steering wheel.

Heater blows lukewarm. I promise you will not be disapointed in this car. Body is near perfect engine and tranny run great. Never overheats. I had this car shipped from Atlanta and the car transport driver told me I had all kinds of trouble delivering this car. I asked why and he said everywhere he went people stopped him so they could take a picture of it! 10,000 invested.

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.

Malaise Era All-Stars

Fri, 17 May 2013

A 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:
