1972 Datsun 240z 4sp Man.

Let me know your thoughts.

Thank you,

David

won't drive, huge dent in hood, rear wheel wells need to be replaced.... NO way this is worth 8000 dollars.

I always find it funny how many people rebuild engines and then 1000 miles later store the car for 20 years.

Unless you want a HUGE project, avoid this car. If this car were 2500 I would say got or it, but 8000 dollars you can buy a running driving Z. At least I think you still can.

I think the gentleman's sentimental attachment to the car has inflated the price. I like the history of it--the PO of my 240z owned it for 34 years--but I paid half that price.

The clutch could be stuck to the flywheel from sitting for so long, or the slave needs to be bled. The very very most I would pay for the lemon lime Z is $4000, without being able to test drive it.

I think in the $5,000-$7,000 price range you can find a decent Z car with most mechanical details sorted, some upgrades, some things that need attention, etc.

Thank you for your input. I will probably adjust the price substantially. I had seen some on Ebay going in the 15-20K range and did not think there was that much work to get it there. If there is interest I can justify going back for a few days to get it cleaned up and running (I am 500 miles away from the car).

I paid $2500 for my Z although a 75, it was running well and I drove it 110 miles to get it home, had nice paint and decent interior. I wouldn't pay more than 25-2800 for this one, just my 2¢.

Look at the "Nice 240" thread at a $7K 240Z.

Just to make sure I wasn't nuts, here's a Z for sale in that price range. Ready to drive, and no "rust free" claims.

Agree with everything said above. I sold my Lime Z for $4800 which considering all the work I did and everything left to be done, that is what it was worth. That car in Oklahoma is worth no more than $2K. There are too many other Z cars out there for better prices. He will have this one for awhile.
