I wish I could keep this car, but I recently purchased a new car and no longer have space for this in my garage. I've put a significant amount of energy and financial resources into this car during the time I've owned it and don't want to see it sit outside. Also, these old cars need to be driven to ensure the exhaust system and carbs remain clean. I travel somewhat frequently for work and wish I had more opportunity to drive it so I could keep it around. It's beautiful and catches everyone's eye and invokes memories and comments by almost everyone who encounters it.

Purchased in 2003 from California
Garaged most of its life with me
Complete body restoration in 2008. The original color was red, which was changed to silver at some point in its life, then changed to metallic orange. Prior to repainting the paint was full stripped and all damage was fixed, including cutting out spots that began to rust on the wheel wells, etc. prior to converting it to metallic orange. During the conversion all rubbers, moldings, glass, etc were removed so that door jams could be converted to the new color (no evidence of the original Red or Silver color).
Rebuilt engine, carbs, etc. In 2012, the 1982, 280 inline 6 cylinder engine was fully rebuilt including twin carbs, hoses, brakes, differential, and fluids. Complete receipt detailing rebuild can be sent for your review upon request.

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.

First new Datsun in decade sketched, set for Indian reveal

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

Nissan's Datsun nameplate revival will begin with two models bound for the Indian market. Nissan has released sketches of a five-door hatchback based on the Micra (codenamed K2) and a top-down view of a hood that could potentially be from a sedan.
The company's press release says all will be revealed on July 15 in New Delhi, India. The Datsun lineup will be first offered in 2014 to that country's ride-deprived residents as well as Indonesia and Russia. Later in 2014, South Africa will join the list.
We've heard Nissan plans for Datsuns to share platforms with company-owned Lada. In January, we heard the projected price tag could be around $3,000 USD to compete with Chinese imports. The official press release (which can be read in full below) says nothing about either of these reports, however.
