This is a very nice ORIGINAL (35100 mile) RUST FREE example of a 1980 10th Anniversary 280ZX. There were 3000 individually numbered Anniversary models.2500 were gold and black while only 500 were red and black.Any article that I have come across call these ULTRA-RARE AND VERY COLLECTIBLE! This is #529 of 3000 and is in exceptional condition. The original owner lived in Oregon and she owned the car until early 2006.In 2007 the car was shipped to PA. where it has been stored in a heated garage and driven to local car shows (The car has traveled 1000 miles in 7 years).

The exterior has all original paint and is in EXCELLENT CONDITION !There is NO RUST on the body or underneath( NO BUBBLES).All rubber gaskets (door, window) are in excellent condition.The bumpers have perfect chrome and the rubber/plastic are not faded.There is a two inch cut in the black rubber (corner) on the drivers side front bumper its hard to see but its there and is the only flaw!

The interior is in excellent condition.The leather is nice and soft with no tears,cracks or fading. The carpets,dash and door panels are equally as nice!

All gauges,power windows,wipers.cruise control,lights,AC work as they should (even the clock works).The radio works perfectly but the power antenna does not go up and down.

The glass is all perfect including the T-tops.I have the shade protector and the carry cases for the T-tops (both in great condition).

The engine and 5 speed transmission work flawlessly and is a pleasure to drive.Last week I replaced the original thermostat (it was like new). I also had the original clutch replaced by the family that owned the original Datsun/Nissan dealership in the Northeastern PA.I had Automobile City replace the clutch disc and pressure plate and release bearing.All hydraulic fluid and transmission fluid are new.The engine oil/filter is new as well.Invoice for all work will be included.

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.

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:

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.
