Up for bid is my 1972 Classic 240z 4 Speed Manual. For those of you who know about Z's, this is one amazing machine. Not only is it gorgeous in style, but the design and quality build make this car ageless and will only increase in value as time goes on. This auction will end Tuesday night.
I bought this Z a couple of years ago and have pretty much been kept it in the garage accept for the occasional weekend drive. I bought it from the grandson of a die-hard Z owner that kept it as original as possible, re-upholstered it and handed it down to his grandson. Unfortunately, hard times forces me to sell. Overall condition is good, but could use a tune-up and a few repairs that I listed below. In fact, this 240z would make a good full restoration project if you wanted to go that far. Engine revs well and transmission shifts smoothly. The car is very light-weight, but having no power-steering gives it that old school feel. Battery is new and the body has few scuffs and scratches on it. Paint job looks to be an aftermarket burnt orange and is still in pretty good shape. There's an aftermarket exhaust and an aftermarket front fascia fairing. Engine looks to be all original accept for an aftermarket ignition. She fires right up with no problems and sounds strong.
The Bad
1. There is rust in the battery compartment area (which I've heard is typical) as seen in the photos
2. Driver side door needs adjustment to close tight
3. Cigarette Lighter, Horn and clock do not work
4. Right lower turn signal needs replacing
5. Dashboard is cracked down the middle
6. AC/Fan/Heater do not work
Background
The Z-series is a Nissan Legacy. This was the original Japanese sports car that started an auto revolution.

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There'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.

Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster
Tue, 28 Jan 2014A quiet drive in the country can be the most relaxing thing in the world. What if it didn't have to end, and you could keep driving for a week, a month or even a whole year? That's what Scott Fisher is doing by taking a one-year sabbatical from work and driving his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster around North America.
"I had owned a manufacturing business in Las Vegas for 16 years. I knew I needed to kinda' get out, and unwind, and get my mojo back," said Fisher.
Fisher's trip has covered over 30,000 miles through 44 states and 7 Canadian Provinces, and it is not over yet. He left from his home in Las Vegas, NV, last spring and drove to the Pacific. From there, he drove up the coast to the Canadian border and aimed the car for the Atlantic. He just posted on his blog about visiting the Nissan headquarters and museum in Franklin, TN, and his next stops are Mississippi and New Orleans, LA.
