1973 Rebuild

[Matthew Abate]

Found one for $280. Gotta go pick it up next Sunday. Pretty heavily varnished, but from the pics looks rust and dent free.

I have a new 240Z tank that was ordered from a dealership, I don't know how many years ago.

I have been keeping it if ever needed. I may end up selling it some day as I will probably never use it.

I will never ship it though. Too risky.

He's got me thinking about going out to the junkyard and finding a couple of tanks and cleaning them up and lining too.  They are EFI tanks though but still, $200 to $250?

EFI tanks are usually more desirable because they have larger ports and are used in a lot of Hybrid swaps

 GreyHound Express is the best way I've found to ship larger car parts like tanks, glass and sheet metal. Not much chance of a gas tank getting dented in the belly of a bus. No room to stack anything on it. Everything I've shipped has arrived in good condition at around half the cost of UPS or FedEx.

I've seen EFI tanks all over the place for about $100-150. The 240z tanks? Not so much.

Lumens, where are you. If you're selling a never used tank I would consider driving as long as it's not crazy far.

Okay, you've changed my mind.  The mosquito bites I'd get at the JY aren't worth the trouble.  Thank You.

It's the 75-76 280Z tanks that are the hot item.  They fit the 240Z's.  The 77-78 tanks have the space-saver tire shape.

Correct! I left out that detail...Thanks Zed

What year did they put the vents into the hood?  There's two out at the junkyard with solid hoods.

I'm not sure. I got curious about that when I looked at the pics of @RedBird. She's a 76 and has the non-vented hood. I'd take a guess at the year but knowing Z's that would be useless. I think it would take VIN #s to narrow it down.

'77-78 got a vented hood.
