Posted March 24, 200222 yr comment_4506 1973 Datsun 240Z, rebuilt '81 280ZX L28, Z therapy SU carbs. Forged pistons, 3-angle valve job on P79 head. F54 block. 4 core radiator, ZX electronic ignition. Motorsports 6-1 headers with dual exhaust free flow exhaust to dual glass packs. 5-speed transmission from '81 280ZX, '78 shifter handle for clearance and shifter throw. Near flawless interior. Tan leather seats, practically time traveled from 1973. Dash has a few cracks, its only real flaw. Custom mats, Exterior good but not what I would consider great. Great belongs in a magazine, good gets you alot of ohs and ahs around town. Very little rust. Floorpans look good. Custom wheels. Asking $5000, considering all the $$ I have in it. Runs great, Really a pleasure to drive. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/1181-73-datsun-240z-81-l28-5-speed4-sale/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 25, 200222 yr comment_4552 I believe they would have to be the round tops, either 3 or 4 screw. I don't think ZTherapy wants anything to do with the later flat top carbs. They only work on the "good ones". I don't think they want the flat tops for cores if I remember right.

March 25, 200222 yr Author comment_4563 SU's are round top. I paid about $750 for them, came with all the original linkage, '70 model crossover valve, hoses, and polished intake manifold, complete with insulators. I have the original choke mated to it as well. Not noted is the car has 15" wheels, gold honeycomb design. Similair to the "78 Trans-am wheels. Tires are vc condition, rear P245/50/15, front P225/50/15.

March 25, 200222 yr Author comment_4570 Actually I am still at work, won't get my email until tonight. I will email you once I get home. But until then:Yes it has been painted, It was originally Brown (Yuk) but was painted Candy apple red. After about a year I noticed A few bubbles on the fender and the roof. I promptly got out the angle grinder and took car of this, primered and put some Red Rustoleum on the spot. Strangly enough, it matched the paint almost perfect. I had planned to strip it down completely and pain tthe whole car again (even though I had literally 3 or four spots). Of course I never did get to strip it down and repaint, hence the reason I am selling it for what I am and not $7-8K.
