Have 240z restoration project for sale.
I purchased this car basically in a box …when I found it a kid had removed almost every nut and bolt. It had 1985 fender flares, cracked paint, no floor, what a mess, etc…I dragged the 240z home on a trailer along with several boxes of parts and have put many man hours into the build. Now the car is back together, runs great, and is almost ready to be painted and have the interior finished. I intended on fully restoring the car however do not have the funds at this time. I have everything for the car including interior plastics, glass, etc. I do not have the rear bumper, rear badges, weather stripping, heater/ac unit and controls, front valance and original seats (the seats that came/come with the car are not from a 240z). The car also needs new tires and break lines as the existing lines show signs of wear. I have receipts for parts and a copy of the newspaper from 1985 that I found stuffed under the fender flares that I removed. I am willing to finish the car for the right buyer and negotiated price. With a little bit of work you could drive the car home! Car is located in Myrtle Beach SC. Have clean and clear title in hand and the car has a 45 day license plate.

Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]
Mon, 15 Jul 2013In March of 2012, Nissan announced the return of its historic Datsun brand. Datsun used to represent the Nissan brand in a number of markets, but its badge hasn't been worn on a new model since 1981. In 2013, though, it has been relaunched as the Japanese manufacturer's budget offering in the emerging markets of India and Russia.
The model that will lead that charge, at least in India, is the Go, a car that pays tribute to the very first Datsun, the DAT-GO.
The operative term with the Datsun brand is: "budget offering." Don't step inside the Go and expect beautiful hides or brushed metals (it's being sold in India, after all). The instrument cluster features a simple speedometer, while the five-speed manual and the center stack above it are rather barren. It's not without luxuries, though, as iPod-style connectivity is available through a Mobile Docking Station.
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:
