1970 240Z in SD. Surprised if this lasts one day.

I think this is a steal.

Now it is more reasonably priced, was $22K.  The engine bay is pretty impressive on this one

$32k now

Congrats, you made sure that it will last much more than a day.  Probably months or years now.  Greedy.  Looks like it's between a 4 and a 3.

I thought SD was South Dakota.

This might be a clue - "California Datsun Series one 240z justice."  Beware...

 

"I will send more photos to interested parties, but pictures do not do this original California Datsun Series one 240z justice."

[wheee!]

I don't think the reference was to "California Datsun"... more that it was a California model Datsun series one

But what's happened, with the price bloat, fits the model.  Kidding, but not kidding.  Wouldn't be a surprise if URGELIS was behind it.

I got your sarcasm... and enjoyed it. I should have assumed the poke!

What was the original price?  Never mind, I'm guessing $22,000 was original and you thought that was too low.  You think that that car is almost to Excellent level.  Pump,  pump, pump it up... (90's flashback).

I like the fact that the engine has not been messed with (much) and the 77K miles is probably legit based on the engine pic. Also looks very original except for a few minor details. (Granted the over all body pics and underside pics are poor and would effect the value)  This is exactly the type of car that I look for when doing a restoration.  It would be worse if it had a cheap $1K paint job and looked pretty pretending to be a Category 2, hiding what is underneath.  Too often this is what is sold in most cases.   I rarely buy a pretty face.  I want a complete, hardly touched package complete with warts.

And Hagerty is so out of touch with the Z community.  There are 1970 Z's selling for $100k and over among private parties.  Let them value the US muscle cars; because they are a bit behind the times with the Japanese cars.

Looks like a later dash.
