You are bidding on a meticulously cared for 1983 280ZX, automatic, 2+2. I am the third owner with 425,000 miles on the chassis, but you'd never know it looking at this baby! Two years ago, I stripped the interior to metal and installed Fat Mat on all metal surfaces to reduce road noise and ambient temperatures. Then installed new carpet and new floor mats. Has the original dash board and believe it or not, it IS NOT CRACKED!!! There is an upgraded Hi-Definition Radio with hands-free Bluetooth as well as new speakers. As you will see in the pictures, the interior is easily a 9 out of 10.

The exterior is in amazing shape for a vehicle that has traveled over 400,000 miles. Nope, that's not a typo. I bought this car from the family of the second owner, a race car driver who lived in southern California. This Z was his pride and joy and he often drove it for trips to northern California. In the 3+ years I've had it, I've driven this car throughout the state of Florida for car events and car shows. It has never left me stranded or disappointed. It always cranks on the first try and is a blast to drive!This car is being sold with all the receipts going back to the very first owner.

In addition, I am including a car cover and front bra.

Bads: Not much. There is a small amount of rust just now forming on front lip of the hood. Due to its location, it is really easy to miss, but I've included a picture. Other than that, this a rust-free car having only been in California and Florida. The brake light is lit on the dashboard, but the emergency brake is functioning properly, brake fluid is fine, brake pads are fine. Perhaps a relay or sending unit. he A/C was rebuilt two years ago by a Z shop in town, but it isn't currently blowing cold. The cruise control is not working. Otherwise, all windows, locks, mirrors, lights, gauges, clock, etc. work fine.

More pictures and a walk-around video with the engine running can be found at my Photobucket link. Email me and I'll send you the link.

Please ask any questions before bidding. I will answer them as quickly as possible. Winning bidder must deposit $500 via paypal within 48 hours of auction close. Good luck.

First new Datsun in decade sketched, set for Indian reveal

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

Nissan's Datsun nameplate revival will begin with two models bound for the Indian market. Nissan has released sketches of a five-door hatchback based on the Micra (codenamed K2) and a top-down view of a hood that could potentially be from a sedan.
The company's press release says all will be revealed on July 15 in New Delhi, India. The Datsun lineup will be first offered in 2014 to that country's ride-deprived residents as well as Indonesia and Russia. Later in 2014, South Africa will join the list.
We've heard Nissan plans for Datsuns to share platforms with company-owned Lada. In January, we heard the projected price tag could be around $3,000 USD to compete with Chinese imports. The official press release (which can be read in full below) says nothing about either of these reports, however.

Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

The Datsun name may have long since been replaced by Nissan, but the old brand is making a comeback - in certain markets, at least. Nissan relaunched the Datsun brand in July as its new budget brand for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback, and has now followed up with the addition of the larger Go+.
Set to be built in Indonesia at Nissan's plant in Purwakarta, the Go+ debuts today in the capital of Jakarta as the second model in the new Datsun lineup. The seven-passenger minivan features flexible seating in a compact form 13 feet long, powered by an unspecified 1.2-liter engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
Nissan isn't saying much else about the model, but hopes the new Datsun twins will account for half of its sales in Indonesia within three years. The low price target for both models - set to come in at less than 100 million rupiah ($8,700) - ought to help it get there. The lineup is then scheduled to reach other markets, starting with India, Russia and South Africa next year.

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
