Z's on BAT and other places collection

[zspert]

I took a look at the white 280 that was sold on BAT at the tail of last week. The owner had it in the car corral @ Hershey. Very nice car without rivet on side molding but with Zbart, the attendant plastic plugs and engine compartment treatment. Some nitwit in the past tossed the battery covers, firewall insulator and fastener when the battery went south. The car had spent some time in the sun as the luggage compartment carpet and straps were a bit faded. NEW OWNER - Banzai Motorworks has the correct reproduction insulator and fastener.

A customer's 240 - sold on BAT in early Feb of this year - trophied in the preservation class. Congrats to Jim L.

Threat of rain reduced the slow field by about 25%., ONLY 300 or so cars.

Only found one chap in period threads.

The comments are interesting.  I wonder who ZIndustries is.

The engine is cammed.  Not original!  Subtract $40,000.

It does not have the original stock profile camshaft.

“This Datsun has a cam in it”

 

Um, it ain’t a rotary engine, so I hope it has something to push the valves open.

Two BaT 260Z auctions ending in less than 90 minutes, one with no reserve. Both look to be pretty nice and they are still well under 20K. The silver one sold for 46K on BaT in 2017. Interesting that neither one had many comments or communication from the sellers.
