Posted November 11, 20159 yr comment_480892 Seems in a good condition, engine has the earlier carbs, or could be one of the last with those carbs, so they are Original to the car. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-Z-Series-/262134355729?forcerrptr=true&hash=item3d086cd711:g:q7sAAOSw5ZBWQSkn&item=262134355729 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/52806-173-240z-brown-interior/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
November 11, 20159 yr comment_480896 Those carbs are not original to the car. That car came out of the factory with the early style flat top carbs and someone converted over to the round tops. Why do I say that? Because the fuel rail, balance tube, and intake manifolds are the from 73, but the carbs are from earlier. Also looks like "double stuff" phenolic carb spacers.

November 11, 20159 yr comment_480898 This popped up while looking at that car.. Wow, is that price realistic? I know it costs a lot to do a proper resto, but you wouldn't expect to get your money back.. http://m.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-Z-Series-/111808930992?_trkparms=aid%253D222007%2526algo%253DSIC.MBE%2526ao%253D1%2526asc%253D20150519202348%2526meid%253D70138247b45046408eb6d12eac8f1b31%2526pid%253D100408%2526rk%253D2%2526rkt%253D18%2526mehot%253Dpp%2526sd%253D262134355729&_trksid=p2056116.c100408.m2460PMG Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/52806-173-240z-brown-interior/#findComment-480898 Share on other sites More sharing options...
November 11, 20159 yr comment_480903 If the spared no expense in restoring the car then yes. I read a story the other day a guy spent 120k restoring a 240z. It was laser measured to make sure it was as close to strait as possible. They also used some sort of magnetic field measurement to find all of the rust. But that car looks like they are just trying to see how much someone is willing to pay.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/52806-173-240z-brown-interior/#findComment-480903 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the upgrades on this car, I'm surprised the price isn't higher.
