Lake Mills, Iowa, United States
Here You Have A Nice Older Restored Z Finished in 2008. Hasnt Seen Road Use Untill Last Summer. It Needed The clutch slave and master cylinders replaced and a full Tune up. The injector wiring harness was also replaced new. This Car Had a Body Ground Effects Kit Installed And New Paint to Include New Rims and Tires 6 Years Ago. This all cost 4200.00. New Struts and Complete Brake system was Installed 6 Years ago. for some reason the clutch slave and master cylinders didnt survive and one front brake rotor now needs turned. Ive installed new cylinders. It fires right up and sounds better than most z's I've heard. No valve train noise at all. The fan is annoying thou.. sounds like a turbine jet. The Interior is complete minus a fuse cover and under steering wheel cover. The seats were perfect but are now cracking. Has a dash molded cover which fits like a glove. I cant tell you what the original looks like underneath. The car has rust thru only under both rocker panels but can not be seen with side skirts. The floor pans are original and solid. The Hood Is New Original 240 z and Painted top and inside. There is a few small areas of paint bubbling on two fenders but magnet says no bondo. The body kit did not utilize any of the bumper components..those were entirely removed. All switches are in perfect working order. The speedometer is 10 mph slow due to low profile tires only. The 5 speed in this car clicks into each gear nicely. There is a new emergency cable in trunk that needs installed. The temp gage works sometimes. All other gages and lights are good.
I require a non refundable deposit of 300 within 3 days of auction winning bid and full balance to be paid with in 7 days.
I DO NOT ACCEPT PAYPAL < CHECKS ARE FINE BUT WILL REQUIRE CLEARANCE WITH MY BANK BEFORE I RELEASE CAR> CASH IN PERSON WORKS ALL THE TIME! |

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:

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.
Renault planning a Tata Nano rival. Again.
Wed, 28 Nov 2012Four years ago, Renault confirmed that it would partner with India's Bajaj Auto to develop a rival to the Tata Nano. At the time, as everyone waited for the Tata Nano to arrive, you could have used a Richter scale to measure the tremors the executive suites of any automaker with an interest in the low end of emerging markets. Then the Nano, still the cheapest car in the world, didn't sell so well - at the end of last year its sales were just six percent of its most conservative projections - and everyone seemed content to let Tata spend the money to figure out if there really was a market for the cheapest car in the world.
Renault believes there is, kind of. Automotive News Europe reports that it will partner with Nissan to build two low-priced cars for emerging markets, one for €3,000 ($3,888 U.S.) and another for €5,000 ($6,400 U.S.). The price of the least expensive offering is nearly $1,400 more than a Nano, which costs $2,500, and that can't be considered a small sum in comparison. But one of the hindsight knocks on the Nano has been that even in emerging markets buyers don't want a car whose biggest lure is that it is cheap; they'd rather give their aspirations a bit more of a workout.
Renault's offerings are scheduled to hit the non-Western market in late 2014, which is coincidentally the same year that will see the return of the budget-minded and emerging-market-specific Datsun nameplate. They'll be built in Renault facilities in Chennai, India, with no mention made of Bajaj this time around.
