Posted June 24, 200618 yr comment_172229 I thought I would see if any club members recognize this car listed on ebay. The owner says it's been in Motor Trend, Z Car Mag.(twice),Z Register (England), and the Local Newspaper. It's located in Maryland. If you've seen it, what do you think?http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1972-Datsun-240Z-Classic_W0QQitemZ260000805832QQihZ016QQcategoryZ6187QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItemThanksBob Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/20547-anybody-recognize-this-car/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
June 24, 200618 yr comment_172238 Yes I have seen this car. It is owned by the Prez of The Maryland Z-car Club. It is a very nice example and is the Highmilage one of the twins featured in Z-car mag many years ago. BTW he wants close to 20K for this one Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/20547-anybody-recognize-this-car/#findComment-172238 Share on other sites More sharing options...
June 25, 200618 yr comment_172258 That is one fine looking automobile. It is exactly like the one I bought in 1972 and it looks pretty much like it did the day it was delivered.... at least from the pictures provided.

June 25, 200618 yr comment_172261 I'd be interested to know why a '72 with 44k original miles has the rear hatch glass with vertical lines. Something seems amiss.But it sure photographs well. I wish I could see it in person. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/20547-anybody-recognize-this-car/#findComment-172261 Share on other sites More sharing options...
June 25, 200618 yr comment_172268 "I'd be interested to know why a '72 with 44k original miles has the rear hatch glass with vertical lines. Something seems amiss."The rear glass is correct. There is a misconception that ALL 72's had horizontal lines. When actually the production change did not occur until Dec 71 so that means the early 72's had vertical lines. The VIN number would put it in that production timeframe.Bob 72 240Z94 300ZX TT SMZ96 300ZX NA Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/20547-anybody-recognize-this-car/#findComment-172268 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if you recall, but would you say the color is closer to red than orange?Thanks for the posting,Bob Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/20547-anybody-recognize-this-car/#findComment-172281 Share on other sites More sharing options...
June 25, 200618 yr comment_172299 It really depends on the lighting conditions. In bright sunlight, the 110 red has a orange tint, in shade it is more red.
