It looks like a nice restoration but I don't know about concourse,

I found 3 glaring errors pretty easily. Still, some nice work.

Here's an old thread on the car:

Ughhh it annoys me it's referred to as "Mexican Orange", when in fact 918 is known as Kalahari Tan.

Further to my annoyance, when is it referred to as a Fairlady 240z, yet it's nothing of the sort. The Fairlady 240z was a home market car only. Not an export HSL30-U car like this is.

 

This Fairlady 240Z is in a class buy its self! A benchmark for the Nissan brand around the world!

#1 Most Popular Collector Car Color for any 240Z.....Mexican Orange!

Then it says only 2,000 still exist today? 2,000 what? Early 240z's? In what country? If you're going to advertise a car at that price you could at least get some of these details correct. Given the potential buyer some confidence you know what you're talking about...

This is the part I like,

"1970 Datsun 240Z Only 9,997 were built in US. Canada Only 1,200 were built! Only 3% still exist today! Unfortunately, 97% did not survive!"

 

Really, I was under the impression these cars were built in Japan, I guess you learn something new everyday.

 

The owner of this car should really get it out of the hands of this dealer, he's doing it a disservice.
