May 22, 200420 yr comment_82279 There are a few available in CA right now. The cheapest is in Norcal for about 3500. Reno: 5500, One down south for about 4 and another in LA area for about 7. Or you can build your own for about 15.steve Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/11845-looking-for-a-datsun-race-car/#findComment-82279 Share on other sites More sharing options...

May 22, 200420 yr comment_82302 If you really want to have some fun on a track and even race soon, I would slow down the purchase of a stock Z, and do some more hunting for a race preped or a Z that someone has started and wants out. If you haven't built one before, it is very easy to loose the fire or run out of funds in the middle of construction. We were lucky to find one that was 75% done and just needed finish up work and some TLC, Now we can enjoy time on the track instead of in the garage. You will get enough time in the garage tweakin things between events and days at the track. Try to make it to the Z convention track day on June 17th @ Willow Springs if you can, you can maybe do some shopping there or even get ideas from others.

May 24, 200420 yr comment_82578 I located the guy with the another one I almost bought last winter. It was about $4000 at the time. hi Steve, I had your mail forwarded to me. I still have the car, but due to some odd circumstances I haven't driven it lately. It is in willows near Thunderhill right now. The last time I drove it it lost spark- I suspect the MSD box is a goner. I have mixed feeling about selling it but now I have a full time job and haven't had time to fool with it lately. It performed flawlessly at the track the last time I had it out- I even painted it so it is all one color now (smurf blue, unfortunately ) The wipers don't work, but I have an extra wiper motor for it. Awesome fun car at the track. I have all the spares that came with it, couple of bumpers, good radiator, 12 wheels, set of new street tires, some decent RA-1's. I also have a 1973 parts car with a good VIN. It is a 1973, straight, has all glass intact, good compression, runs, new tires, motor is stock and unmolested. I bought a set of good 1970 roundtop carbs with intake for it too. except for a patch of rust near the front hood support, i don't think there is any structural rust. i bought it as a parts car, but it was in such good shape I was planning to revive and drive it. It had been prepped for painting and then wasn't painted so it looks like hell. Again, getting a job has put the skids on that project. If someone is seriously interested let me know!
