Ebay madness "One of 50 in this special run series"

[zbane]

For your consideration-Original Triple Webber Carbs!

This is a 71 Datsun 240z HLS30 MFG, Date 5/71

One of 50 in this special run series.

Now I don't know a lot about this car as it was inherited to me. But I will tell all that I know about it, you can email me what questions you might have about it.

There is a triple carb. on this which are webber.

The body does have rust but is straight.

All original everything, it currently does not run and would have to be trailored.

The engine is a big inline 6 cylinder 3 carb. Yes it has the original triple carb.

Wide fender wells, all tires are flat some badly damaged.

The battery is gone, all ignition wires are also gone. It was running before these were removed so it does run. The reverse gear in tranny is totally ground off, as well as the idler gear, the hydraulic cylinder on the clutch engagement in not working. Otherwise the pictures say most everything else

Big sigh....

I have never bought a car that didn't run sometime in its history!

That original steering wheel cover, Original flared rear fenders, original "contour" on the "straight" passenger door, The original seat covers, the original door speakers, the original tripple webbers, and the original white tail light panels sure make the car more special than the just being "one of some ficticious 50!"!

It does look like it had a soft top sometime in the past...

After reading this post, I saw that the knuckle head that is trying to sell this Z lives in my home town (Logan, Utah). I'm real tempted to email this guy and take a look at the car, and ask him what is so rare about it and why is it 1 of 50. I could really use a good laugh. Any suggestions?

Maybe its only 1 of 50 ........ in Utah.
