JMT240KGTR Posted July 1, 2004 Share #1 Posted July 1, 2004 Hi all,I will be selling my 240K coupe soon, I've had offers for a couple of projects with other model cars that I've found very hard to resist and I've given in.Over the last week I've come to grips with what it will be like without a Datto, but I've had a very good run; been fortunate enough to own 3 coupes and 3 sedans in the last 10 years. All have served proudly. They'll be fondly remembered, and so will the legendary stories; nothing better than someone asking "is that a bloody Datsun?" or "your Datsun did that?".Anyway, enough of the sentiments, I'm posting here so you guys or anyone you know can express an interest in the car before it officially goes up for sale. Note; IT WILL BE FOR SALE.Every single spare part that I have for this car will be sold with the car so it's an ideal purchase for the enthusiast.Details below;No reg/RWC (won't be much anyway, car was built early this year!)1975 Datsun 240K coupePaint; metallic blue/green, black bonnet2.4 litre 6 cylinder, 3 speed auto, 3.54:1 R180 diff.New timing chain, guides, front/rear seals, gaskets, etc 6 months old.240Z carburettors ExtractorsE88 late model head, shaved .030" C/R 9.2:1 approx.Electronic ignition280ZX series 2 alloys, 225 rear tyres/195 front.Original interior, tidy.Spares; L28 complete bottom end Exc condL28 N42 head Exc condC110 GTR flares280ZX 5 speed recently purchasedClutches, flywheels, etc, all Exc cond.Timing chains, guides, pulleys, etc.2 x elec dizzy and coils - tested, A1 cond.Struts and brakes GCH/D rear springs/H/D rear shocks, like new.Oil pumps/ front covers/AlternatorsStarter motorsOriginal steering wheel - cleaned/varnished Exc condFront left and right fenders; need rust repairsFront indicator/park lensesFront lights + assembliesFront and rear bumpersFront grille, A1 originalInterior kick panels GCCentre console good intact except for slight crackBadges, trim, etc etc.RE L28 motor and g'box; all that would be required is assembly of the engine (all parts available), bolt up gearbox and you are set to go. This engine is A1, never missed a beat and is very reliable. I estimate it's only done 100,000 klms for myself, was originally bought at the importers from Japan with low mileage.All spares are in 'very good to excellent condition', especially engine/electrical components (had to collect and keep, they're getting harder to find).Price; $2500 the lot. PRICE IS FIRM and very, very reasonable for all these items, including the car!See pics below or my gallery to view.I can be contacted on my numbers below if you're interested.Home phone (03) 9705-2556Work (03) 9706-5169I'm located in Sth East Melbourne (Australia for you O/S fellas).James240k x 4.bmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
