She wasn't having to do with it or me!😈 These days all I get is an elbow in the ribs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted February 10, 2021 Author Share #482 Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) The red 71 with the L26 and the sun roof is up today. Really weird how people don't knowhow to create and post a video, or how the "I can assure you" phrase has absolutely no value. Sold for $29,750. Bet it could have got more with a video and confirmation that the sun roof worked. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1971-datsun-240z-167/ "I do not have any video to offer at this time, however, I can confidently say it starts easily, idles well and has been easily driven on both city streets as well as freeways since I decided to part with it."

Zed Head Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share #485 Posted February 11, 2021 The guy had dreams... I already have well over my asking price in this car. Once restored, it may well be worth between $50k and $75k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share #486 Posted February 12, 2021 So many. Hard to keep up. Burgundy 72, classy, looks very original and rust-free. The owner like Ford blue. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1972-datsun-240z-166/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grannyknot Posted February 12, 2021 Share #487 Posted February 12, 2021 ^ Nice straight car, hardly any rust, well cared for, could be turned into a real gem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share #488 Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) The orange 77 with the automatic, fender flares, and retrograde to carbs only got up to $12,000. Under reserve. The message seems to be if you're going to modify - go big, or don't modify at all. p.s. I'm thinking that those tires probably rub badly. Not a bad look though. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1977-datsun-280z-51/ Edited February 12, 2021 by Zed Head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siteunseen Posted February 12, 2021 Share #490 Posted February 12, 2021 I've driven the autos back then and they suck. I honestly don't remember a good downshift/passing gear. They just puttered along. 3 speed IIRC? But that's 55mph speed limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share #491 Posted February 13, 2021 Very weird, an EFI, 5 speed 77, fraternal twin to the orange carb'ed automatic 77 is coming up. Red instead of orange. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1977-datsun-280z-53/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
