It looks like the seller in Camarillio, CA has another "out to pasture" Z up for sale on ebay now. This one is an early 71 with some sort of turbo setup http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-Z-Series-240Z-240Z-71-Turbo-Rollcage-California-Hotrod-Early-Z_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ39Q3a1Q7c66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a10Q7c240Q3a1308QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem220283766372QQitemZ220283766372. It looks like he is using a new ebay ID now "4calxprt". Probably the cheesiest ad text I have seen in quite a while.

I couldn't make it past the 4th line in that ad.

Looks like a Turbo Tom turbo kit.

That's one of the cars from the collection of 30+ z's from a few posts above, it would appear that the owner is perhaps trying to sell them one at a time.

In the second photo (showing hatch), note the black z on the upper right- what rims are those? Think about how long those cars have been there...

I wonder how many rare parts are in that collection (pantera deck, the turbo setup on this car...)

It would be wonderful to go visit, and even better to bring them all home!

OMFG. That ad was the goofiest I've ever read. Read almost like porno- which I believe was their intention. :stupid: Talk about trying to grab the buyer!

Well, regardless of the tasteless Ebay listing, it's still a California Series I car that is going for next to nothing. Looks like the original '240z' emblems behind the rear quarter windows were replaced with the later 'Z' emblems.

I've driven by this one literally more than a thousand times and finally stopped and took a picture. It's been there for at least the 10 years I've been driving by.

Unbelievable, the guy is still trying to sell the 30-plus Zs again. Isn't that a Porsche 928 in the background of the third picture?

Yep.

With a shell of a 914 in front of it...

Outdoors, in Indiana, for more than 10 years... It should be dirt soon...

A great couple of years I spent in the rear bucket seats of my dads 928. It was a beautiful car. If it weren't so damned expensive to maintain, I'm sure it'd be 'my' 928 by now.

i cant believe some of the cars that are being posted... in houston your lucky to find a rust bucket. some of the z being posted for crushing in this thread are great cars..... i need a parts car too =(

It used to be almost hidden from view by a bunch of rusting antique tractors. There was a big auction a couple years ago and now it sits alone.

I know of another, a 280Z, that's been in the weeds for probably close to that long near Elizaville.
