This car was disassembled with the hopes of making a street legal car for Lime rock type races. The engine was all reworked, there is a new transmission, the rear end was reworked and rebuilt, new calipers, and loads of other work by a professional automotive machine shop. It was all paid for by the guy's grandmother. He left and never finished the car. It was running and driveable when my cousin put in in his garage. The new work has basically 0 miles. It now needs a fuel pump. It is not a turbo. The bills include things like : New exaust system-$297, Labor to rebuild and overhaul engine $1200, machine shop labor $2015, new transmission $2600, cluch pressure plate $100, and on and on to over $9000. The interior and body parts are here but it needs restoration of them. The windshield is not here. The car may be best used by putting the new parts in a worn out car. The owner is my cousin who is moving south but I get the car if it doesn't sell because he owes me cash. I would rather the cash so the car is for sale. It has to be picked up in Grafton Ma. Any questions can be answered by calling 508-987-5155. It is for sale locally so I reserve the right to remove the listing at any time. A deposit of $200 is required to pay pal within 24 hours and cash upon pickup. There is NO RESERVE so the car will sell once the minimum price is reached. Bidders with less that 5 feedbacks and less than 6 months on e-bay will be blocked unless they call me first so I understand that they know what they are doing.

Autoblog Podcast #339:
Roadkill pits every project car against each other
Sat, 22 Feb 2014The 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.
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.
