Offered for your bidding is this 1980 Datsun 280ZX hardtop coupe in very good condition.  A true Japanese sportscar classic, this particular 280 is a hardtop model (no T-tops) and comes with the original L28 2.8 liter inline 6 mated to a 5 speed manual transmission.  Finished in the facrtory Rallye red with black pinstripe over original red crushed velour, this Z is cosmetically in very good condition with a few very minor blemishes - some paint has deteriorated under the gas filler opening, 2 nickel-sized dents on the roof, and some chipped paint on the driveers door edge.  In terms of rust, this Z has solid floors and frame rails, showing only 1 small spot on the pass. side rear jack point pinch weld and a very small amount (1" long) under the pass. side windshield frame (see pictures).  The paint is believed to be a quality re-paint done in the proper factory Rallye red color and is gorgeous when viewed in direct sunlight.  The interior is also in very good condition-original and in-tact, the original seats are in fantastic condition with no rips or tears, all of the accessories work: power windows, power mirrors, cluster, odo., speedo., tach, fuel guage, oil press., volt meter, digital clock, even the original Hitatchi am/fm casette and speakers work!  The head liner, glass, and carpets are in very good condition.  There does seem to be a bit of sun-fade on the vinyl on the back of the seats, the drivers floor mat has a "heel hole" which does not go through to the floor carpet,  and there is 1 crack in the upper surface of the dash (see picture). 

Mechanically, this Z runs and drives great: no idle issues, full power without a miss from the fuel injected L28 inline 6-pulls strong and smooth to redline, buttery-smooth gear changes in all gears from the 5 speed, and not a hint of slippage from the clutch.  The only thing I could fault in terms of driving performance are some of the rubber bushings in the suspension and the shock absorbers-they may be ready for replacement as the handling feels a touch "too compliant", but this car does not exhibit any dramatic handling issues - very comfortable on the highway at 85 mph.  The tires look to have been replaced recently and the braking performance is good.  This 280ZX can be driven daily and they are quite rare in this condition.  I have a clean and clear MO. title in hand and I ask you to call me with any questions about this classic sportscar at 636 393 9371.  Thanks for looking!

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 Redi-Go is reborn brand's first concept car [w/video]

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

Nissan's plan for its reborn Datsun sub-brand just got a shot in the arm, as the emerging-market manufacturer has unveiled its first concept car since its resurrection back in 2012. Called the Redi-Go Concept, it looks like a high-riding version of Datsun's recently launched Go hatchback that's been fitted with a few concept car cues (not a bad thing).
The Redi-Go packs LED taillights, Datsun's "D-cut grille" and LED running lights into its Go-inspired body. Funky two-tone 15-inch wheels add a bit of cheek to the overall design, and in our minds look quite good, despite being so small. The ruggedized front and rear bumpers, as well as the sill and wheel arch surrounds add to the Redi-Go's rough-and-tumble aesthetic. We like that Datsun has kept the overall package short, giving the Redi-Go a 92.5-inch wheelbase, rather than creating a lifted version of the upcoming Go+. There are no specific mentions of the Redi-Go's mechanicals, although we'd wager that a production model might share the 1.2-liter engine and five-speed manual found in the standard Go.
While it might be easy to dismiss a concept like the Redi-Go in America, there's no denying its importance to the Indian market, which is decidedly more limited when it comes to available bodystyles. "If we were to make a car like Datsun Redi-Go Concept it would be a segment creator in India, an aspirational car that at the same time is attainable, a car that would be within reach of the first time buyer. This concept shows how serious we are about reinvigorating the market by catering for the needs of a growing class of Indians who have the chance to own a family car that will enable them to enjoy a new sense of independence," said Vincent Cobee, the global head of Datsun.

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.
