This is an Awesome 240Z in super nice low mile condition. Classic Z car has been restored with performance in mind...meticulously maintained and loved. Has nice period and modern updates to make it a reliable, fun, and FAST driver. Drivetrain and suspension completely rebuilt and up-graded less than 10,000 miles ago... have receipts.  Looks, runs, feels, and drives great. Excellent daily driver or weekend cruiser, track car, or addition to any collection. A true head turner and a blast to drive.

Body is straight with no signs of rust or collision damage that I can see. Older driver quality repaint in Datsun blue metallic presents nicely with some niks and blemishes. Underside is straight except for 2 spots where a dummy jacked the car wrong... those spots have started to rust and one small spot on the drivers floor board.,, not a big deal... frame is fine. Suspension has been rebuilt and up-graded with new bushings, Tokiko shocks, Eibach springs and bigger sway bar.


Interior is in nice shape...  Panels and Carpet look good... I have a new headliner ready to install... hopefully this week. I assume dash is cracked under the cover, Redone seats have a couple of seam splits. Gauges and electronics work properly, except the clock (of course!). Push button start.

Now for the best part... Rebuilt and massaged L28 Motor starts, runs, and idles excellent... Super responsive with nicely tuned. Headers and custom exhaust sounds awesome and feels extremely strong. Dual webbers and electronic ignition work great. Rebuilt 5 Speed trans with performance clutch shifts smooth through the gears. Suspension feels tight and handles excellent. Stops straight and sure. Has R200 POSI rear!!! A really nice up-grade... Great, FAST driver.

Overall this is a nice little hot rod classic Z in great condition all around... it is extremely well maintained and nicely up-graded. Awesome daily driver or weekend cruiser, or track car. I am a Z collector... this is a great one for any Z car enthusiast, collector, or anyone looking for a cool, original vintage sports car at a great price.

The car is located in Beverly Hills... Inspections are welcome and encouraged... serious buyers can call me at 310 850 8980 but no tire kickers please. I'm open to interesting trades (in accordance with ebay guidelines) but no projects or junk please.

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:

Datsun expands low-cost revival with new Mi-Do in Moscow [w/video]

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

Those who were disappointed when Datsun changed its name to Nissan over three decades ago may have been pleased to see the marque revived last year, even as a budget brand. Nissan's counterpart to its ally Renault's Dacia budget brand, Datsun has been steadily expanding its lineup of low-cost transportation for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback in India, the Go+ minivan in Indonesia and the On-Do sedan in Russia. And now it has returned to Moscow to reveal its fourth model, the Mi-Do.
Based closely on the On-Do sedan (which itself is based on the Lada Granta) the Mi-Do takes on a five-door hatchback bodystyle but with no more frills. It uses the same front-drive chassis with the same wheelbase as the sedan, but its chopped tail makes it a good foot and a half shorter overall. Into that compact shape, Datsun has fitted dual airbags, ABS and... well, that's about it. It's got a 1.6-liter, eight-valve inline-four kicking out a grand total of 87 horsepower to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. Bare bones, this is.
While delivery of the first On-Do sedans commences next month (with the first example going to an IT specialist in Omsk), the Mi-Do is set to begin delivery early next year. Scope out the video and press release below from the Mi-Do's reveal at the Moscow Motor Show.

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.
