Up for sale is a 1973 Datsun 240 automatic with approx. 104k original miles. Vin# HLS30133697 I have owned this car for about 6yrs. When I bought the car the body was very clean however the car had been painted once before and was faded and the original hood had a bend in the front edge so I decided to replace it with a very nice 280z hood. I bought the car originally to show my sons how to work on and do minor restore work and if necessary a college investment and since I have one going to college this coming year, this will be a good start. Most people recognize that these cars are becoming more and sought after. Engine upgrades, conversions, and modifications make these cars more popular every year. This 240z is an automatic car which is nice since it is so rare however, some might prefer to own a manual 4 speed . The car has been garaged majority of the time I have owned it. I drive it on nice days to and from work about 15miles each way. I also have taken it to some local car shows near and around town. I have all the original parts like the flat top carbs and air cleaner and misc., stuff I have replaced windshield, rubber gaskets, installed passenger mirror, carpet, dash cover. I have replaced flat top carbs with round top and chrome air covers. AC-unit was removed prior to me owning it. I have replaced heater hoses in and out from Z-Source. Front seats have been recovered. The car runs and drives good. The car is pretty straight and solid all the way around.

Exterior: Normal wear and tear it is no show car however it does turn heads. Glass on driver side has some pitting from when door was sand blasted. Front bumper not great could be replaced or re chromed. Rear bumper was re chromed and new rubber installed. New power antenna installed. New gas tank hoses. Gas tank was cleaned. I have installed new rubber seals. I still have some for the car that have not been installed that will go with like cowl hood seal etc. Also have a set of spare wheels and tires that came with the car look like 280z wheels with good tires very nice condition. The car currently has new wheels and tires and tire have about 5k on them. Paint showing wear some minor pits and cracking still looks good. Front bumper see photo. Lots of new emblems and rubber. I do also have a very nice rear Louver for the Z that will go with, I have not installed.Interior: Good condition overall. showing interior wear some cracking on tops of door panels. Very nice car not show. New carpet, Seats have been re-upholstered Console has broken plastic around choke lever area. Most panels good but have some cracks. I have covers and panels that may have not been shown in pictures. The floor pan on passenger side has a small patch 6x10 and the driver side has one also nothing structural.

I reserve the right to end the auction at any time the car is for sale locally. This car is 40yrs old I have tried to describe this vehicle as accurately and honestly as possible. Remember it is a used vehicle. As with any vehicle there may be issues that I have overlooked or am unaware of. This 240z is being sold as is basis. A $500.00 deposit within 48 hours of auction end and balance COD within 7 days. Buyer pays for shipping.

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.

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:

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.
