Don't know if this is the right forum, but, my car is now up on Bring a Trailer .....

The time has come to sell my car and I have listed it on Bring A Trailer. The auction is NOW LIVE at the following link:  https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1972-datsun-240z-88/

It is a 1972 240z with an LS1 swap.

Please spread the word if you know people who are looking for such a swap.

Nice!  Good luck!  Hope yours does better than the last 2 V8 swapped cars.  That Yellow one was really nice.

Well, it "sold" for $19,000, so I would say that it did well.  The bidding got really fast and furious in the last 30 minutes.

Saw that.  Congrats.  If you dont mind me asking, what did you have the reserve set at? 

[ktm]

I had the reserve originally at $20k.  If you were watching the auction, it hit $10k on Day 1 and then just sat at $10k until the last hour.  Ramped up to $14k in 30 minutes and then sat until the last 10 minutes.  Went from $14k to $17.5k in a blink and I lowered reserve to $17.5k.  It then jumped to $19k.

Yeah, I checked on it this morning.  Glad you got close to what you had the original reserve set for!  Random question, did you have the floors / rails replaced?  If so, where'd you get it done?  I'm local (Tustin) and i'm searching for a place for some rust repair.

I had a set of Bad Dog frame rails and sub-frame connectors installed.  They were installed by the late John Coffey when he owned Beta Motorsports.

 Z's are a little special with the floor pans given their unibody construction, so I can't really recommend anyone else right now unfortunately.

Ah.  Thats unforatunate.  My search continues.
