Even though this thread has gotten away from it's original topic, I think you need to start your own thread for that......

Wow this thread has taken a great turn in discussing the merits and pricing of good unmolested orginal cars. I’m about to post my car on ebay please let me know what you all think. Here is the add I’m about to place with a link to over 50 pictures. Don't forget to play the price game so I can see if I'm in the ball park with my reserve.

You are bidding on a 1971 Datsun 240Z the VIN number is HLS-3016977 with a manufacture date of 12/70 on the door tag. The color code is 905 found on the tag next to the radiator. This is an original, unmolested, no-repaint, original interior, no accident, 39,700 mile Series 1 car. All the stickers and chalk marks from the factory are still in place. I have all documentation to trace all owners, the original bill of sale, the first transfer of PA title, and all repair orders both from the dealer and from independent service centers over the last 38 years.. Photo’s of this car, the undercarriage and interior are available on http://s836.photobucket.com/albums/zz285/Atannen/ this car is 99.99% original …the radio (AM/FM) is from another Datsun and the power antenna was changed. I have the original AM radio. The fuel pump has been replaced by and NOS part and the breaks have been replaced by NOS pads. The original rubber covers on the break bleeders were still on the car. The chrome passenger side mirror is incorrect for the car but is a Datsun part and was on there so we left it. The A/C is a port/dealer installed model I have all the instructions and warrantee card from the date of install. The wood grain appliqués on the console are an aftermarket item done by either the dealer or the first owner. You will note two controls on the console one is for the choke and one for the A/C, some A/C aftermarket kits of the time used this style. The arm rest was installed by the second owner and is and aftermarket item that can be taken out if you wish. The reflective tape on the rear hatch was applied by the original owner. Please remember that this is and an original car that is close to 40 years old so you do have some small nicks and scratches as you would with any used car. If you had a time machine and could go back in time to 1973 and buy an extremely nice used 1971 240Z, this one would be it.

Like all good cars this car has a story to tell. On July 5th 1970 Donald Morway of Pineville, PA went down to “Rettenbaugh Motor Sport” in Ambler, PA and put $1000 down on a 1971 240Z that cost a total of $3715.00 including the A/C. Some time in early January 1971 he picked the car up (paid the balance) and began to enjoy his new ride. His first service was 3/24/71 with 606 miles on the car. Donald held the car until 1993 he serviced it regularly (have all service records) and drove it sparingly (when we bought the car I called him directly and he told us that he had 3 other cars and the 240 sat in a barn next to a 57 “T” bird). Donald serviced the car at the Datsun dealership named above until it closed or was sold. He then switched to Foss-Hughes Datsun in Doylestown PA. Sometime in the late 80’s Foss-Hughes became (or switched to) Thomson Nissan/Toyota in Doylestown and Donald became friendly with its service Mgr Jim McClusky. Jim bought the “Z” from Donald on June 6th 1993 (I have the title transfer papers) with aprox 28K on the clock. Jim serviced the car at the dealership (getting his employee discount) until February of 1997 when he auctioned the car off to a dealer in Point Pleasant NJ called “Wheels Of Time”.

At that time my friend Stu Rauchman was looking for the car of his youth a 240 Z, and asked me to help, one day searching the classic adds I saw that Wheels Of Time had a 240Z with only 33K on the clock. I went down, looked at it, called the previous owners and made the deal for Stu that day. On March 24th 1997 the “Z” found a new home with Stu Rauchaman in Marlboro NJ. Stu serviced the car with regular matenince until (marital issues) he was forced to sell the car in 1999. Ms Audrey Spader of Colts Neck, NJ bought the car in June of 1999 with the stipulation that if she needed to sell the car

(we) Stu had the right of first refusal. Audrey again kept great service records etc. Some time in late 2000 Audrey needed to sell the Z and Stu bought it back from her and held on to it until Oct 2003 (marital issues) forced the sale of the Z again. Mr. Louis Amorosa of Piscataway NJ bought the car in October of 2003 again with the stipulation, that if he needed to sell the car (we) Stu had the right of first refusal. Louis like all owners before him kept great records and then in May of 2005 Louis had to sell the Z, (marital issues…). So on June 7, 2005 I (Adam Tannen) took title of the Z with 39,548 miles The car has spent the last four years or so in the garage (under a cover) next to my 71 Cutlass Convertible. As I have a family (read kids) the Z doesn’t get much use because it only fits two, I need to pass the Z on to a good home.

I have posted some photos here but again please visit http://s836.photobucket.com/albums/zz285/Atannen/ for over 50 more including details of the undercarriage and engine bay.
