The voltage regulator has been relocated from its usual position and it's hood cover is missing.  Might be something to do with clearance when the dealer installed ac was added.

Nevertheless, a dumb place to put it and ruin the data plate.   I have seen that exact same thing done before.

Thanks, was just curious.

Red calipers and low profile tires.  Do they really work on any car?  I wonder what the new owner will do when he gets this.

The red tow-hook 73 was actually a well-done resto mild mod.  $80,000.   My gob feels smacked.

It has those odd-looking valves that we couldn't identify in someone else's head work pictures.

I agree, the '72 that sold today on BaT looks to be an excellent "project car"!

Here's another '72 that looks to be a very solid, 2-owner car with all of its original documentation and receipts that I saw on the on the Santa Barbara, CA Craigslist:  https://santabarbara.craigslist.org/cto/d/buellton-1972-datsun-240z-owner-runs/7319522658.html

1972 Datsun 240Z 2 owner runs drives great! - $28,888 (Buellton)

This is a two owner 1972 240Z that was sold new at Miller Datsun on Van Nuys Blvd , it has had just two owners and has full history from new . The car is completely rust and accident free all sheet metal is original to the car . Car has had a full repaint with the windows out and now looks and runs great . Pictures are to show the condition of the floors the carpets and seats are installed and the car is useable but it does need some minor finishing which we can do or discount and let the buyer finish . sensibly priced at $28, 888 we are California dealer so must charge tax and license fees if sold in Ca ....

 VIN: HLS3067141

Blue 73 with red tow hooks.  I wonder what happens if you pull on them.

A nicely done car that went for a lot of money.

I noticed something I've never seen before.

These braces. 

 

Where do I get some?

[Zed Head]

Those are used on the 81-83 280ZX F54 block and 5 speed transmission.  Earlier doesn't have the holes.  Apparently it's an NVH reducing device.  Somebody must have identified some flex between the transmission and engine block.

They do look cool.

Actually they don't look like they would be too hard to make, maybe not in cast aluminum but out of steel would be straight forward.
