These cars weighed 2300 lbs new and a small block chevy fits like it was designed to be installed and it is so easy to work on, at 1/10 of a second for each 100lbs savings in the quarter mile, you will whip that modern muscle car that weighs 3500 lbs plus easily! car only picks up a few hundred pounds with the v8 conversion and maintains its near even front to rear weight ratio.
 This is a perfect example of a car that overwhelmed the last restorer, I bought it as a near perfect shell and installed a crate engine and rebuilt transmission.
It is a Jags That Run 350/7004r conversion which means engine is set back much farther than other conversions using a new crate code r 96-99 truck 4 bolt vortec, roller cam, 9.4cr upgraded and ported vortec heads with big mutha thumpr roller cam, GMPP single plane, Quick fuel Holley 750 carb, comp roller rockers and compatable springs,  HEI, 7qt oil pan, gm gear reduction starter, custom heavy duty driveshaft,15 gal fuel cell under floor, headers and 2.25 dual exh with full size hooker turbo mufflers,  maybe 7,500 miles on setup and trouble free. Beast 700r4 rebuilt and hp 2500 stall converter using a late model Firebird shifter that fits console nicely. upgraded R200 rear end and shafts from a 78 280z. '95 Toyota 4 runner front calipers.280 springs all around. original 4 speed car if you want to change and still has pedal.
  
 Mostly rust free car, I replaced the lower front of both quarters in front of rear tires [all rust there regardless of how nice] and took all other sheet metal to bare metal, sprayed awl grip epoxy primer and forest green paint, installed new windshield and back glass gaskets,   windshield in good condition, floor pans great and sound deadener installed, heavy steel welded in roll bar with seat back support and extra room, optima red battery in rear. dash cap, seats ok with no tears, needs carpet and door weatherstrips.
  
   This car was my daily driver for 2 years, very comfortable car, very fast and agile, always runs cool even in Houston, has cold a/c and is very reliable. All gauges work except amp and clock, no horn, origional a/c and heat setup boxed up for storage. New t/a radials on back.  I have many spare parts including wheels and suspension parts that go with car also.
 Blue clear Texas  title and historic license plates so nothing on windshield, all lights and signals work.  Car really runs Great! Drive it home!
   R200 pic is not of this particular car but a representation of the strength of rear end.
 It's only a matter of time till these cars skyrocket in value, own one now!
 I have never raced this car on a track and do not know how fast it is but have owned many muscle cars including a 67 and 77 Vette, 69 Z28 and 69 SS Camaro, 70 GS455Stage1 and a 69 Judge RAIII, this car is definitely the fastest and handles the best.
   Any Questions?, Contact me please before bidding so neither of us will be dissapointed. I want a happy buyer and my 100% f/b left intact!  Please pay $500 immediatly and balance promptly if you are the winner, Buyer responsible for shipping

This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

The Datsun 240Z got a lot of things right when it was introduced, with handsome styling, strong performance and a reasonably affordable price. And while the coupes grew a strong fan base in the US, they remained quite a rarity in the UK. Decades later, a father and son in England have latched onto the car and bonded over their shared love for two completely opposite takes on this Japanese GT
There's already quite a collection of exotics in Mel Streek's garage, and his rat rod 240Z, which he calls the Ratsun, definitely doesn't fit with the rest. On the outside, the Datsun looks ready to fall apart, but it's mechanically perfect underneath. Alternatively, Mel's son, Ollie, has a completely different take for his Z with its perfect, shining paint.
Both Zs sound amazing, though. They have a mechanical, somewhat course exhaust note that's intoxicating to hear. You can definitely tell there's some work going on under the hood. Check out this video from Petrolicious for a father and son who both find something to love in these classic Japanese coupes.

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:
