1980 280zx Rare Hard Top on 2040-cars
East Rockaway, New York, United States
|
Up for sale is this rare Hardtop 280zx. Hardtops are very rare from 1979 and up. I bought this car in the beginning of the year with the sole intent of doing a motor swap. I've never registered the car and now am blessed with twins so project has to go. (also have a Harley Road King for sale). This car was the perfect candidate for a motor swap.....auto/rust free/hardtop! The car was a California car its whole life until 2013 hence it being rust free. I purchased it from a gentleman in Ohio who got it from Cali. He took all moldings and glass off the car and brought it down to the bare metal before painting. I have all pics to prove it. This is my 5th Z and I've never not had one without some rust somewhere, not even above the tail lights when you open the hatch. I included pics of all angles. Obviously there is SURFACE rust on the undercarriage like every car exposed to the elements but no ROT. The interior is just ok, well seats are in good condition and hatch panels were replaced but some dash pieces are not so good.....BUT I will be including the spare replacement parts that are needed to freshen it back up. For instance the plastic on the gauge cluster is scratched and/or foggy. So I will include another gauge cluster. Also the tiny vent on the bottom side of the dash are broke so I will be including those as well The only thing I'm missing is the stainless trim piece that goes around the shifter. The tires are like new and the factory wheels were reconditioned. The car runs and drives and the AC is cold. Power antenna also is functioning. Car has an exhaust leak and sounds like it could use a set of plugs. But as I stated the intention was to do a motor swap, I was purchasing a complete 2JZ drivetrain (same as last gen supra) from Japan. So engine, auto tranny, and ECU average $2300 - $2800. This swap with absolutely no modifications will give you a 150hp increase over stock. Or if you choose throw in a V8 but like I said car runs and drives with no problem. I included as many pics as possible but if there are any others you want let me know.
I will assist in pick up or delivery |

Datsun reveals new On-Do budget sedan in Russia [w/video]
Tue, 08 Apr 2014When Nissan revived the Datsun brand name, it essentially hit the "undo" button on the rebranding it undertook decades ago. But this time, the Datsun name is being used solely as a budget brand for developing markets. The reborn marque launched in India this past July with its Go hatchback, returned in September with the Go+ minivan and revealed the Redi-Go concept just last month. And now it's back again with the new On-Do sedan.
Launched in Moscow by CEO Carlos Ghosn, the On-Do was designed and engineered in Japan specifically for the Russian market - Nissan's fifth largest worldwide - where it will be built at the AvtoVaz plant in Togliatti. Decidedly budget-oriented, the Datsun On-Do is a four-door, five-seat econo-box measuring 172 inches long, 67 inches wide and 60 inches tall with an 18.7 cubic-foot trunk which Datsun describes as class-leading. Punctuating an otherwise bland shape is a large front grille and lighting front and rear that looks (and very well might be) bigger than the wheels.
Not that the Datsun On-Do needs a big contact patch to transfer power to the road: motivation is provided by a 1.6-liter engine with a grand total of - wait for it... wait a little longer - 87 horsepower. Which might strike you as a reasonable amount of muscle, considering the 400,000 rubles Datsun is getting for the On-Do (but consider that translates to about $11,300). That's a couple grand more than what Nissan gets for the Micra in that other giant northern country, or about the same amount it gets for the Versa in the US (which sells in Russia for 499k in rubles) - both of which are powered by what is in all likelihood the same 1.6-liter four but producing 109 hp. Of course Russia has different tax rates than the United States or Canada, but with such little power, the Datsun would fall into Russia's lowest tax bracket.
37K miles in a 1967 Datsun Roadster
Tue, 11 Mar 2014When we think of comfy, long-distance road cars, there are a few obvious choices. A Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Bentley Continental GT or, assuming fuel efficiency isn't paramount, a Range Rover are all good options for a road trip. But what if that road trip was 37,000 miles? Maybe something more reliable but still comfortable, then, like a Honda Accord. What about a 1967 Datsun Roadster?
As insane as it sounds, Scott Fisher is doing just that, running a Datsun 1600 Roadster across North America and racking up 13,500 miles in his first three months on the road. His total journey will see him pile over 37,000 miles on his red convertible. The car is lightly modified, but most of the work is for the sake of reliability and comfort, with a five-speed manual 'box, an upgraded radiator and electronic ignition.
Fisher's trip hasn't been all smooth, with a few typical bits of trouble. He also ran into some deer in Utah, quite literally, clipping one of the animals, which delivered quite a bit of damage to the passenger's front fender (hence the rear three-quarter view in our lead shot). Still, the car seems to be holding up well, as shown in this latest video from Petrolicious.
Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There'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.
