These cars weighed 2300 lbs new and a small block chevy fits like it was designed to be installed and it is so easy to work on, at 1/10 of a second for each 100lbs savings in the quarter mile, you will whip that modern muscle car that weighs 3500 lbs plus easily! car only picks up a few hundred pounds with the v8 conversion and maintains its near even front to rear weight ratio. This is a perfect example of a car that overwhelmed the last restorer, I bought it as a near perfect shell and installed a crate engine and rebuilt transmission. It is a Jags That Run 350/7004r conversion which means engine is set back much farther than other conversions using a new crate code r 96-99 truck 4 bolt vortec, roller cam, 9.4cr upgraded and ported vortec heads with big mutha thumpr roller cam, GMPP single plane, Quick fuel Holley 750 carb, comp roller rockers and compatable springs, HEI, 7qt oil pan, gm gear reduction starter, custom heavy duty driveshaft,15 gal fuel cell under floor, headers and 2.25 dual exh with full size hooker turbo mufflers, maybe 7,500 miles on setup and trouble free. Beast 700r4 rebuilt and hp 2500 stall converter using a late model Firebird shifter that fits console nicely. upgraded R200 rear end and shafts from a 78 280z. '95 Toyota 4 runner front calipers.280 springs all around. original 4 speed car if you want to change and still has pedal. Mostly rust free car, I replaced the lower front of both quarters in front of rear tires [all rust there regardless of how nice] and took all other sheet metal to bare metal, sprayed awl grip epoxy primer and forest green paint, installed new windshield and back glass gaskets, windshield in good condition, floor pans great and sound deadener installed, heavy steel welded in roll bar with seat back support and extra room, optima red battery in rear. dash cap, seats ok with no tears, needs carpet and door weatherstrips. This car was my daily driver for 2 years, very comfortable car, very fast and agile, always runs cool even in Houston, has cold a/c and is very reliable. All gauges work except amp and clock, no horn, origional a/c and heat setup boxed up for storage. New t/a radials on back. I have many spare parts including wheels and suspension parts that go with car also. Blue clear Texas title and historic license plates so nothing on windshield, all lights and signals work. Car really runs Great! Drive it home! R200 pic is not of this particular car but a representation of the strength of rear end. It's only a matter of time till these cars skyrocket in value, own one now! I have never raced this car on a track and do not know how fast it is but have owned many muscle cars including a 67 and 77 Vette, 69 Z28 and 69 SS Camaro, 70 GS455Stage1 and a 69 Judge RAIII, this car is definitely the fastest and handles the best.

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.
Datsun to unveil second model later this month
Sun, 08 Sep 2013Datsun, Nissan's new sub-brand for emerging markets, has announced plans to unveil its second model. Its first, the Go, was unveiled almost two months ago, and promised affordable, connected motoring for five in a handsome hatchback body. Datsun is following that up with a pair of new models for Indonesia.
The first of these two new vehicles will be shown on September 17 in Jakarta, eschewing the typical auto show debut. It's targeted at so-called "risers," the nickname for a group of highly aspirational customers in the Indonesian market. Datsun developed it locally with help from Nissan, and it'll cost under 100 million Indonesian rupiah (about $8,900 at today's rates).
We'll have the full boatload of information on the newest member of the Datsun family when it debuts on September 17. Scroll on to read the full press release from Datsun.
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.
