I went to look at a '72 240Z for sale yesterday. Body & interior are in rough shape. The engine is not stock, apparently came out of a '73. Instead of the flat top carbs, it has a 4bbl intake with a Holley carb. The 4bbl intake has "Bob Sharp Racing" embossed in raised letters. Does anyone know the value of an intake like this? The car originally came with an automatic transmission, but currently has a 5 speed.

I drove the car, and it is fast! But, the rear end is making a lot of noise, supposedly the differential was recently replaced. The suspension and brakes on the car would need to be rebuilt. The fenders, rocker panels, rear wheel arches & dog legs all showed evidence of rust repair. I'm wondering if it might make a good donor engine/transmission if a solid body/rolling chassis could be found. The seller is asking $2000 OBO.

I know this is kind of an old thread.... but, Berthoud, CO?

Would this car happen to have been painted bright lime green?

Just wondering, because it's mine. The engine and trans were out of a 280ZX Turbo, with a non-turbo N47 head installed.

It's currently under the knife, and about to have the refurbished P90 head installed, along with a few other tasty bits of fun... (custom FMIC, *two* turbochargers, an Extrudabody ITB rack... among others), and it will be running off of a MegaSquirtII system. I've done some massive weight reductions, and I've also stiffened the chassis, some.
