comment_419962So I found this sweet Z and I was hoping that I would restore it but I have too many projects so I am letting it go.
I thought I would share it with you all.
1971 Datsun 240Z. Garage Find. Found from the Original Owner and has been in storage for almost 20 years. 94xxx Original Miles. Car is original and unmolested. L24 with E31 head, 4 speed transmission and original dealer installed A/C.
Exterior:
Body is straight and does not appear to have had any major collisions. It was repainted many years ago and the paint is faded and is checking in areas, especially on the hood. The body has minimal rust on it. The floors, spare tire well, quarters and rockers are in good shape. The lower front fenders do have some rust that will need attention. The area under the battery also has an area that will need to be patched. One small area under the passenger seat too. Other then that, there is surface stuff here and there.
Interior: The inside is in really nice condition, The Headliner, sunvisors, door panels, interior vinyl and seats are very nice. Other then a few tears on the drivers seat, the interior is great.. The dash has one minor hairline crack. Other then that, the dash and gauges, etc. are nice. The carpets look to have been replaced and are all in good condition. Even the chrome strips on the door panels are all there and nice. The Vinyl on the trans tunnel, and the rear shock towers, etc are super nice. One of the nicest original Z interiors I have seen.
Engine: It has not been run in a long time but with a jump start and some starting fluid, it cranked over fine and ran on the starting fluid.
Brakes: The brakes seem to work and stop the car.
Tires and wheels: a matching set of Bridgestone tires are mounted on the original steel wheels. Tires are old but are holding air and have good tread. 2 original hubcaps are included.
Original Owners Manual, warranty book and card and the jack and tools that are original too. Original Datsun keys too.
This really is a nice unmolested example of an early Z car. Hard to find, especially on the east coast.
I am sure this car could be made a driver with little effort. Clean out the fuel system, change the oil, fresh battery, new points, etc and it should be drivable.
Early 240Z’s are getting harder to find, especially one owner, low mileage cars that are unmolested.
