Someone is parting out what are claimed to be a couple of basket case 240's. 

I think if the floor is good that could be a nice resto, ever seen such a nice dash in a wreck??  I think the seller does not know what he's selling!

btw, i only see 1 white 240z where is the other one.. maybe together a nice deal to get started on a resto?

Yeah who knows. The pictures look to be taken in an area of our city called Ballard.  I'm in that part of the city from time to time I'll try and have a look..hopefully it's not in an area too overrun by junkies and thieves haha.

Looks like there are two there, the more rusted one is an automatic he called a 73 but the dash looks 72

The other he calls a 70 (pictured above) but it does not have 70 parts on it c pillar, gas cap, vents in hatch, etc...

I think they are both 72's IMHO

I called him but no reply as yet.

Never mind, he said it in the ad.  No titles.

The "70" has a 5 speed.

 

I have two Z’s one 1970 five speed and 1973 auto. They are no longer viable restoration s. Lots of good parts. Let me know what you want. Will entertain offers for both. No titles.

Would be open to an outright purchase of both cars. Make me an offer before all the good parts are gone !

Look at the right front fender rust.  Two white Z's...

A new ad now, $1700.00 for both I am guessing. 

Stating parting them is more of a pain than he thought. Some new pic's of the other engine.

I still am thinking a later 71 and a 72

Looks like the dash is worth that! Also with a original (to the USA market) radio!!  (Hopefully that dash is not gonna crack when someone takes it out! lots of chances that's what gonna happen..🙈 )

Nice.  Were the 2 in Ballard?  I never got around to looking.  Glad someone ended up with them instead of them going to the crusher.  Hauling cars around sure is getting expensive at $5.00 plus a gallon around here.

Closest area would be Interbay / Magnolia. It did have a Ballard look to it. They were in a car storage lot. I was able to negotiate a good deal on them and factored in the fuel. 

He told me someone had come and looked at them, I thought that might have been you. 

I seem to have forgotten to add my pics of them nestled in..... ^^^

An impressive parts car lineup.

Thanks, as you well know, in Washington there are a lot of rusty cars. The other half has been garaged all this time and are in great shape. An interesting mix of extremes. 

This lot and five more out of the shot. Plus another 4-5 that are already striped and scraped. I seem to gravitate to the rusty, less expensive ones. Other than my personal car.
