1977 Datsun 280z With Rare Automatic Transmisssion on 2040-cars

Year:1977 Mileage:77951

Lincolnton, North Carolina, United States

This rare and classic 280Z is definitely a major restoration project or you could part it out, however I'm hoping someone restores it. I purchased the 280Z in 1991 and drove it to work and back. I don't know how many previous owners there were, but the car is mostly all original. The mags have been changed and it has a glued in dash cover. It doesn't have any dents that I know of, but it has sustained some major rust damage. The 280Z was running in good condition when I parked it in the woods in 1996 and the automatic transmission was working fine, but sitting all these years untouched has left it with the brakes not working and not in running condition, also the ceiling cover has fallen. I haven't tried to start it, but I'm positive it will not start at this time. The car needs to be reworked before any starting is attempted.

After I have received  the purchase price in full through Pay Pal, the buyer can make arrangements to pick the car up or arrange for shipping. It is the buyer's sole responsibility to arrange for and pay all costs to pick up the car. I will however meet and assist your shipper in loading the car after 3:30 pm weekdays or any mutually agreed to arrangement for the weekend. The buyer should pick the car up within a reasonable time, but I won't put you under a rush.

I reserve the right to dispose of the car by any means I desire if the car has not been picked up after six months of the close of auction.
I also reserve the right to re list the car for sale if it has not been payed for in full within 30 day of the close of auction.

This car will be sold As Is with No Warranty and No Refund.

Payment must be received and cleared in full before the car can be moved and the Title transferred to the new owner.

The Mileage listed above is an estimate, I forgot to bring the key when I took pictures

The 280Z is located in Lincolnton, North Carolina

37K miles in a 1967 Datsun Roadster

Tue, 11 Mar 2014

When 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.

This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

The Datsun 240Z got a lot of things right when it was introduced, with handsome styling, strong performance and a reasonably affordable price. And while the coupes grew a strong fan base in the US, they remained quite a rarity in the UK. Decades later, a father and son in England have latched onto the car and bonded over their shared love for two completely opposite takes on this Japanese GT
There's already quite a collection of exotics in Mel Streek's garage, and his rat rod 240Z, which he calls the Ratsun, definitely doesn't fit with the rest. On the outside, the Datsun looks ready to fall apart, but it's mechanically perfect underneath. Alternatively, Mel's son, Ollie, has a completely different take for his Z with its perfect, shining paint.
Both Zs sound amazing, though. They have a mechanical, somewhat course exhaust note that's intoxicating to hear. You can definitely tell there's some work going on under the hood. Check out this video from Petrolicious for a father and son who both find something to love in these classic Japanese coupes.

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.
