After searching for almost 2 years, I found this 280ZX from its original owner in Northeastern Florida. I was looking for an all original car in this generation with no rust or rot. This is tough to find.

The car was purchased new 6/30/83 from Bradenton Datsun City at 1611 Cortez Rd, in Bradenton, FL. This car was driven and well maintained. It was always garaged which is evidenced by the lack of rust.

I also have photos of the car before and during its cosmetic restoration. (that tells the true story)

The previous owner was very proud to have won many car shows and contests in the original class.

When I bought it, after careful consideration, I decided to have it professionally painted in its original color. We left the jams and engine compartment original so it could be appreciated. (notice the firewall and under side of the hood)

We also replaced the interior, all of the rubber suspension components, tires, fuel filter, and fuel injectors. There are no leaks.

My mechanic loves this car and says he has never seen one this nice.

It runs and drives great, and draws a ton of attention from everyone everywhere we take it. It needs nothing as is ready to drive and show.

Please call or message if you have any questions. 239-410-7796

I have the original window sticker, build sheet, sales brochure, and title that will come with the car.

Bid with confidence. Its not perfect, but about as close as you can get without getting crazy.

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.

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.
