1976 Datsun 280z Original California Vehicle No Rust on 2040-cars
Benicia, California, United States
|
Up for bid is a 1976 280z. 2 seater vehicle with 4 Speed Manual Transmission. All original - 2 owner vehicle has been meticulously cared for over its 38 years. Always garaged, no accidents with minor surface rust in a few spots. EXTERIOR: The paint has faded throughout the years. However, the body is nice and straight with a minor dent on the passenger door. I have placed a flat magnet on every inch of the body and can assure there is no bondo. The lines from the trunk, hood, doors and body are straight and match up nicely. All doors open and close with ease. INTERIOR: Nice original interior. Door panels and headliner are in good condition. The driver’s seat is ripped and worn at the seat and passenger seat has one rip. Carpet is in decent condition. All electrical works for exception of the clock (which is common to go out on these cars). ENGINE: The motor is also in original-unmolested condition. 4 Speed manual transmission. Starts up right up from cold start and idles nicely at 750 RPM. The car drives nice. This car is on non-op (no back fees) and has a clear title under my name. You will need to get the vehicle smogged if you buy it. Although the vehicle runs and idles nicely, I cannot guarantee it will pass. HIGHLIGHTS: This is an all original, California vehicle (purchased at Datsun of Fairfield), and still has the original blue license plates. I have all of its service records since day one, along with the original keys - a very rare find. What you see is what you get. This would be the perfect car for someone to restore it to original condition, or modify it to their likings. I am selling the vehicle because I do not have the time, the space or the budget to restore it. I have sold a few vehicles on EBAY in the past, hence why I have an impeccable feedback review. I will be selling this car locally, so I will reserve the right to end auction at any given time if it does not meet my reserve price. Happy bidding! |

Datsun reveals new On-Do budget sedan in Russia [w/video]
Tue, 08 Apr 2014When Nissan revived the Datsun brand name, it essentially hit the "undo" button on the rebranding it undertook decades ago. But this time, the Datsun name is being used solely as a budget brand for developing markets. The reborn marque launched in India this past July with its Go hatchback, returned in September with the Go+ minivan and revealed the Redi-Go concept just last month. And now it's back again with the new On-Do sedan.
Launched in Moscow by CEO Carlos Ghosn, the On-Do was designed and engineered in Japan specifically for the Russian market - Nissan's fifth largest worldwide - where it will be built at the AvtoVaz plant in Togliatti. Decidedly budget-oriented, the Datsun On-Do is a four-door, five-seat econo-box measuring 172 inches long, 67 inches wide and 60 inches tall with an 18.7 cubic-foot trunk which Datsun describes as class-leading. Punctuating an otherwise bland shape is a large front grille and lighting front and rear that looks (and very well might be) bigger than the wheels.
Not that the Datsun On-Do needs a big contact patch to transfer power to the road: motivation is provided by a 1.6-liter engine with a grand total of - wait for it... wait a little longer - 87 horsepower. Which might strike you as a reasonable amount of muscle, considering the 400,000 rubles Datsun is getting for the On-Do (but consider that translates to about $11,300). That's a couple grand more than what Nissan gets for the Micra in that other giant northern country, or about the same amount it gets for the Versa in the US (which sells in Russia for 499k in rubles) - both of which are powered by what is in all likelihood the same 1.6-liter four but producing 109 hp. Of course Russia has different tax rates than the United States or Canada, but with such little power, the Datsun would fall into Russia's lowest tax bracket.
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.
Roadkill pits every project car against each other
Sat, 22 Feb 2014The 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.
