Japanese flare meets American muscle. Offered here is a 1979 Datsun 280ZX, also known as the Nissan S130, which was in production from 1978 to 1983 and has recently climbed in collectability. However, this is not a stock Datsun. Replacing the often problematic 2.0L Inline-6 is a Small Block Chevy 350 V8 with a mild cam and mated to a 700R4 transmission with shift kit that offers a driving experience unlike any other. It is pretty quick and the combination of the stylish lines and sublime exhaust sound, this car gets attention wherever driven.

The car was originally from Missouri and came from the factory painted brown with tan interior. It was then brought to Michigan where the drivetrain was upgraded and it was finished in silver. The body is straight and there is no rust to be found. The car has always been garage kept and well cared for.

Some desirable features include power windows, power mirrors, sunroof, plus 4-wheel disc brakes, upgraded suspension, a converted 4-speed automatic transmission and classy 5-spoke aftermarket wheels with performance tires. The interior is does leave something to be desired but the original seats are in good condition. The exterior and drivetrain is where the money has been spent and it’s obvious from the curb and punching the gas pedal. It starts on command and drives true. Consider this car a driver that can be take car shows with pride.

This Z could possibly be the most fun you’ll ever have on the open road. More photos/video available upon request.

Malaise Era All-Stars

Fri, 17 May 2013

A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:

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.

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.
