The purple filter cover is a nice touch.

The 1972 280Z (we had much discussion about this one in the past.  Can't remember what we decided) is still up on the Beverly Hills site.  Looks like new pictures.  Like they're daring somebody to buy it.

The entire car appears to be held together by blue paint.  

Unless it has four wheel steering, that left rear wheel as seen in the original ad might indicate a problem.

No cracks in the dash cover.  Check that, there is no dash cover.

As a "parts car", what might it be worth?

Here's a post from the middle of the last conversation.   It's a hybrid 240/280.  I never did find out what the firewall VIN was.

I just noticed that it even has the 280Z air filter and ductwork (edit - actually I did notice that before...).  And the charcoal canister.

$500 for a ZX turbo is a bargain !

I see 3-$400 worth of useable parts there.

 

Advertised as "well priced" at 5k? Wow.

$2k '72 with some spare parts. Holley carb on whatever engine is in it with maybe stock manifold and head piled in the back with a manual transmission of some sort.

Doesn't say anything about title probably doesn't have one like most.

If I were smart I'd get the 240 and the turbo ZX and for $2500 I'd have the start of a turbo 240

I think that it already has a draw-through turbo.  

Don't know much about it but I found an old thread showing a similar setup on an L4.

Edit - it's in @Racer X 's neighborhood.  He probably knows about those old turbo kits too.

Was just cruising the Datsun Classifieds on Facebook and came across this guy who has 9 Z's for sale in Nevada.  Might be worth taking a look if your in the market. the listing is 9 hours old.

There is a pretty rare vehicle in that collection.
