1973 240z off fresh 2.8L build, SoCal Car & Head Turner

---

Time to sell my 1973 240z-  that I brought from Southern California to Pennsylvania 15 years ago.  Since that time the Z has been kept in a garage and only driven during Spring, Summer and Fall.   She's a head turner of a vehicle- Looks fantastic from 10 feet away.  Up close, you'll notice some chips (filled and polished) and cosmetic blemishes, but mechanically this is a rock solid car.  Freshly rebuilt engine with less than 500 miles on it.  The Enkei wheels really set off the elegant lines of the 240z.  

    Outside of a concours restoration, you won't fine a cleaner engine bay.  I'm an engineer by profession and I saw to only the highest quality parts were used in every facet of the restoration.  Documentation available for the mechanical work on the engine.  

 

I'll also include the 3 tomes that guided me through the restoration: Haynes, Chilton's, and "How to Rebuild Your Nissan & Datsun OHC Engine" by Tom Monroe.  

 

Why am I letting this cherry go?  Well, my wife says I can only have one project car at a time, so after 15 years, it's time for this Z to plaster a smile on someone else's face.  

 

FYI, this vehicle was previously listed, but I pulled it down so I could use it for a promotional event at my company.  Now it's back on the market!
