This is a rare original 1977 Datsun Special Edition 280Z with 80K of which around 1000 were produced. I am the third owner and have owned this car for seven years. The car was in the arid climate of Brownsville, Texas for 30 years and moved to Austin, TX 7 years ago.
Datsun called it the "ZZZap Z". Offered only in Bright Sunburst Yellow paint with special decal package, rear window shade and dual racing mirrors and side stripe decals. The Zap Z model was used as the pace car for the 1977 Long Beach Grand Prix.
The ZZZap Z also received "Top", "Side" and "Deck" stripes, and I have an EXTRA SET OF DECALS/STRIPES (see Photo) to go with this car. I chose to keep the car as a "Survivor" with original paint (slight normal fade, please see photos) and decals, but with the extra decals you could make like brand new if you choose. The decals are from a set of 12 made a few years ago by an after market dealer.

Car has a strong Engine that runs smooth with matching numbers and Automatic Transmission. The car passes Texas inspection every year without a problem.

I have maintained the car as a survivor and have only done things that preserve it's original condition including over the last seven years: most of the work was performed by the renowned Z Clinic in Austin, TX.

Valves adjusted/sparkplug wires/cap, R12 AC new compressor (Blows COLD) and muffler (2013) 4 like new Michelin Z-rated tires with low miles (2011) Minor Body work and paint where necessary to preserve including rear deck decal. Carpet Kit with original 280Z floor mats. New shocks and suspension rubber replaced where needed. Brake booster and master cylinder replaced, wheel cylinders rebuilt and new brake pads. Valves adjusted/sparkplug wires/cap.

In addition:

Had dual mirrors and Louver powdercoated in 2012

I have an EXTRA set of matching hubcaps I will include with the car.

The car still has its original spare tire (never used) and jack with air can in back.

Working AM/FM cassette (auto reverse) period radio with original speakers.

Working Power Antenna

EXTRA set of 280Z ZAP decals in excellent condition.

This is an amazing hard to find collectible survivor 1977 280Z ZAP. Only a few have come to market in the last few years and only a couple with this low mileage and condition. It is a blast to drive in the city and on the highway. Everywhere I drive it, someone will come up and start a conversation about how cool it is.

I am selling this car as is and representing it's condition as clearly as I can. I have made a video of the MY ACTUAL CAR over audio from a 1977 280Z commercial for you to see the car in action. Please cut and paste this link: http://youtu.be/MqVhIB3-dQg

Please feel free to contact me with questions or if you need me to send you a link to the video.

Buyer is responsible for picking up and shipping the car from Austin, Texas.

Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

Nobody does cars on the cheap quite like the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The former part of the equation already has its Dacia brand of cost-effective, no-frills vehicles that have become a favorite of Top Gear co-host James May, and last summer, the latter revived its Datsun nameplate for a budget brand of its own.
The reborn Datsun 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 given us our first look at an upcoming budget sedan developed specifically for the Russian market.
The as-yet unnamed vehicle (which we'll bet will incorporate the word "go" into its nameplate somehow) is set to debut on April 4, where it will launch the Datsun brand in Russia. Few details are available at this point, but the low-cost sedan was designed in Japan to offer Russian drivers "an engaging driving experience, peace of mind ownership and accessibility at the right and transparent price, with a competitive Total Cost of Ownership."

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

There'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 2014

A 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.
