Guys,

Here's another humorous Craigslist ad from Indiana. When you see the photos you'll understand.

1972 Datsun 240z

1972 Datsun 240z - $4500 (Birdseye,In)

1972 240z 6 cylinder 5 speed. Aluminum wheels.

Been sitting for 16 years in a barn, does run needs carburetor work.

Needs full restoration. Very hard to find in this good of shape. Strut towers underneath the hood are like new. Very solid. See pics. any questions contact us at 81two-8two7-9two16.

He mentions the strut towers are like new. That is got to be the only thing in it's favour.

I would offer $657-75

He forgot to mention "minor surface rust", the desirable aftermarket bumper overriders, and A/C, or at least A/C system remnants under the hood.

Poor Z! I'd be scared to look underneath....

As the ad says, It IS hard to find a car like that in that condition. Last one I saw in that condition was in the JY.

Dang, i should live in his world. I could sell the 240z im picking up this weekend for at least 10k

Ran when parked. Classic.

Where are you picking up the 240Z from?

Marietta, I am gonna guess you called him after I did. I hate that he has to wait til Saturday for me to get it, but glad to know how nice of a guy he is about holding it for me.

No, I was just curious. I'm only allowed two project cars, so I'm not trying to get any more. It isn't Lee's car, is it?

All I know is that the guy i'm getting it from got it just 3 days earlier, from a guy who had done some work to it, but was still plenty of a project, and had some health issues with a family member so he had to resell it.
