Totally NOT worth it.

steve

I's a little rough around the edges, but I've seen cars of similar condition go for 2-3M yen (which is 17-25K USD)....

It would fetch that price in Japan, easy.

I would pay $25K AUD for a restored car w/stroker & Jap. domestic go-fast bits, no problems.

Even though its a 260? What is this world coming to

You have to admit it's a beautiful example...

it does seem to have a 260 dash, but the tail lights are 240. 1974 suggests that it could be either, right?

I didnt think the 260 had tool boxes behind the seats...

Until told other wise (probably by alan) that car is a mongrel (2 hatch struts, which is 260Z, 260z dash, but 240z lights, also japanese spec with 4 speed, is that correct?

Yes, it certainly is a bit of a mongrel. And look at those 260 door panels...

Looks to be more 260 than 240 (of course we're speaking about the Japanese equivelents here), but those tail lights and tool boxes.........

Hi All,

Alfadog, yes 260Z do have tool boxes, it is the early 240Z cars that don't...

ok so I didn't look at it closely....

Ok I'm gonna correct you all.. From what I've noticed it is a 240z if it's Japanese they came with the 260z dash earlier on so in a sense it's not a 260z dash it's the later dash.

Remember this is a Japanese Z so it has alot of options we did not see till later.

I read an article about how Road and Track first reviewed the 240z and said it's a great car but needs some more options including mag wheels so that's probably why later cars had stuff like A/C , defoggers, mag wheels etc etc..

Check with http://datsun30.hp.infoseek.co.jp/ you will note his fairlady has a 260z dash.

Also some of the Japanese Z's had both the C pillar Z badge and the vented hatch...

Alan how correct am i?:classic:

PS : Zvoiture I totally disagree I love the car.

Picture is of a 432.

I'm not sure any "240" Fairlady Z's came with the newer dash, door trim, extra hatch strut (although that could be aftermarket)... I'm sure Alan has something interesting to note about this car though!

Well maybe I shouldn't say correct you all :classic: . However it's the second 240z I've seen with a later Dash and went huh???

Also Alpha I might hang onto that 240k gearbox my Z one has been feeling a bit rough I'm gonna fill it with more oil to see if it's just low on oil I suspect it's leaking from the rear seal. If that solves the problem I will look into selling it. I'll try find out what it's worth for ya.
