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!

Datsun expands low-cost revival with new Mi-Do in Moscow [w/video]

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

Those who were disappointed when Datsun changed its name to Nissan over three decades ago may have been pleased to see the marque revived last year, even as a budget brand. Nissan's counterpart to its ally Renault's Dacia budget brand, Datsun has been steadily expanding its lineup of low-cost transportation for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback in India, the Go+ minivan in Indonesia and the On-Do sedan in Russia. And now it has returned to Moscow to reveal its fourth model, the Mi-Do.
Based closely on the On-Do sedan (which itself is based on the Lada Granta) the Mi-Do takes on a five-door hatchback bodystyle but with no more frills. It uses the same front-drive chassis with the same wheelbase as the sedan, but its chopped tail makes it a good foot and a half shorter overall. Into that compact shape, Datsun has fitted dual airbags, ABS and... well, that's about it. It's got a 1.6-liter, eight-valve inline-four kicking out a grand total of 87 horsepower to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. Bare bones, this is.
While delivery of the first On-Do sedans commences next month (with the first example going to an IT specialist in Omsk), the Mi-Do is set to begin delivery early next year. Scope out the video and press release below from the Mi-Do's reveal at the Moscow Motor Show.

37K miles in a 1967 Datsun Roadster

Tue, 11 Mar 2014

When we think of comfy, long-distance road cars, there are a few obvious choices. A Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Bentley Continental GT or, assuming fuel efficiency isn't paramount, a Range Rover are all good options for a road trip. But what if that road trip was 37,000 miles? Maybe something more reliable but still comfortable, then, like a Honda Accord. What about a 1967 Datsun Roadster?
As insane as it sounds, Scott Fisher is doing just that, running a Datsun 1600 Roadster across North America and racking up 13,500 miles in his first three months on the road. His total journey will see him pile over 37,000 miles on his red convertible. The car is lightly modified, but most of the work is for the sake of reliability and comfort, with a five-speed manual 'box, an upgraded radiator and electronic ignition.
Fisher's trip hasn't been all smooth, with a few typical bits of trouble. He also ran into some deer in Utah, quite literally, clipping one of the animals, which delivered quite a bit of damage to the passenger's front fender (hence the rear three-quarter view in our lead shot). Still, the car seems to be holding up well, as shown in this latest video from Petrolicious.

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:
