1979 Nissan 280zx Chevy Chevrolet 350 Conversion No Reserve on 2040-cars
Henderson, Nevada, United States
|
Up for auction is a 1979 Nissan 280ZX with a 350 Chevy conversion and ground effects package. My brother bought this car in Virginia (with my money!!) as a cool project, and did a lot of work on it until loosing his garage. I brought the car here to Las Vegas where it is currently located, but I just have too many other projects, and do not have the time or resources to complete this Z. As stated above, the car has a clear Virginia title, and is registered (with a Virginia tag), insured, and occasionally driven. The 350 conversion was complete when my brother bought the car, and appears to have been professionally well done. The car really pulls strong. The motor has camelback double hump heads, a 2-row 1 1/4 inch aluminum radiator with electric fan, transmission cooler, crane roller rockers, electric fuel pump, Holly single pump dual feed 3310 750cfm carb, GM HEI distributor, chrome alternator and bracket and water pump pully, polished aluminum 350Z valve covers, Edelbrock performer intake, and headers with glass packs. The car also has 4 wheel disc brakes, and Hankook Ventos V4ES tires that look to be almost new, a B&M Star shifter, Panasonic stereo, and a newly professionally re-covered dash with all new Autometer gauges (the gauges alone were over $1000). The car fires right up, runs, drives and stops as it should. I would rate the paint as a 6 on a scale of 1 to 10, but it hasn't been color sanded or buffed, and I think that would get it up to a 7 or 8. The seats, door panels, and headliner are in good shape, and the carpet looks to be fairly recent. The interior is missing some plastic pieces, but I think that the parts that I have taken a separate picture of will cover most of what is needed. There is no heater or A/C. The underside of the car shows some rust, and the frame rails have the typical ZX rot and need work. I just noticed that the rear tail lights and turn signals do not work, but I will try to fix these if I have a few minutes, since they were working a couple of months ago. As mentioned, the Autometer gauges are all new, and work properly except for the fuel gauge and the speedometer. I think there is a sender issue with the fuel gauge, and I do not know why the speedo doesn't work since everything appears to be proper. I listed the mileage as zero because the odometer did not work when my brother bought the car, and the actual mileage is unknown. The new Autometer odometer currently reads zero. There is no spare tire. My cell phone number is 770-330-8539 (Jerry) if you have any questions. There is no reserve after the low opening bid (the gauges and dash are worth the opening bid), which means this Z is gonna sell. A $250 deposit is required within 24 hours after the auction end, and payment in full with car pickup is required within 7 days of the auction end. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.

Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet being phased out, no replacement planned
Tue, 15 Apr 2014Over the years, I've been given many nicknames - a few of them have even been repeatable around small children. One such moniker is "Mr. Other Makes," a title given to me because of my predilection for sifting through eBay Motors seeking out automotive misfits and orphans. I've got a soft spot for the dreamers and automakers who take big chances on beancounter-enraging flights of fancy.
I count Nissan among that bunch, because for every safe-as-houses Altima or Sentra that rolls out of its factory gates, the Japanese automaker has often secreted away a little funding for white-space niche vehicles that any sane person wouldn't expect to pencil out. Some, like the Juke, have proven to be massive hits. Others, like the GT-R, have become icons. And then there are models like the Murano CrossCabriolet, a segment-bending mashup the likes of which we haven't seen since the AMC Eagle Sundancer.
Yesterday, upon revealing the new third-generation Murano ahead of its New York Auto Show debut, we reported "the writing appears to be on the wall" for the midsize crossover's novel convertible cousin. It appears we were right. Autoblog can now confirm that the CrossCabriolet will die at the end of this model year, and our source at Nissan tells us unequivocally, "there is no plan for a next-generation Murano CC."
Nissan could have bought a stake in Aston Martin as early as 2012
Mon, 08 Sep 2014Aston Martin has a very interesting future ahead of it. While the British brand appeared to be struggling with aging tech for a while, fresh investment from Daimler may have shown a light toward the future with the brand getting engines and electronics from them. Also, former Renault-Nissan top exec Andy Palmer has jumped ship from the French/Japanese automaker to become CEO of the much smaller sports car company. Interestingly, though, new reports from unnamed Nissan sources have indicated that Palmer has been pushing to work with AM for years.
Three unnamed company insiders told Reuters that Palmer made attempts to convince Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn in 2012 and 2013 to invest in Aston Martin, but his proposals were shot down both times for unspecified reasons, according to Automotive News. "We looked carefully at the proposal but we passed on it," said one of the sources.
You can easily see why Palmer was eying Aston Martin even back in 2012. It's no secret that the British sports car mavens were in need of extra funding, well before the Daimler investment. Building vehicles these days is only getting more expensive with stronger safety and emissions requirements. Just look at the brand's desperate hope to get a side-impact crash exemption to keep selling its models in the US as an example.
Next Nissan GT-R to take cues from GT-R LM Nismo Le Mans entry
Fri, 06 Jun 2014For those wondering why Nissan named its coming Le Mans Prototype the GT-R LM Nismo, colliding the two worlds of sports car and prototype racing, an article in Autocar might have the answer. The deeper union is explained by saying that the next-generation GT-R will use "hybrid technology that will closely align it" with the GT-R LM Nismo.
The point could be further driven home by the fact that the GT-R LM Nismo will begin its FIA endurance racing campaign next year, and the next GT-R is due to debut next year as a 2016 model. The expectation is that it will use a hybrid system possibly dubbed R-Hybrid and perhaps developed by Williams. Just like performance car makers Ferrari and Audi, Nissan wants its racing efforts to pay off with road car technology, company vice president Andy Palmer saying they "want to link technological linkages between future evolutions of the GT-R and evolutions of what we do in LMP1, and the two do go in both directions."
The bigger question is, with the GT-R getting hybrid assistance, will it also get the weight gain that usually comes with it? Enthusiasts would love to see the trend reversed, especially on a car that's already no lightweight.
