thanks. it has been on the car a long time. if not riveted I may remove picture attached

My '73 has body side molding running from the fender to the rear quarter. The car is white and the molding is red. I see pictures of 240z's with, and without the molding. Is this molding correct? Was it on all cars? Was it an option? Thanks

Thanks for the replies. I am getting the typical low pressure reading on the OEM gauge and want to try a gauge that uses an oil line to get actual pressure readings. I understand the sending unit thread is British Standard Thread and that most aftermarket gauges use National Pipe Thread, so I'm wondering if the typical aftermarket gauge will work. Or where I can find a BST to NPT adapter. I would probably only use the gauge temporarily to see the readings. Thanks

Can anyone reccomend a specific oil pressure sending unit and guage to replace the stock one? Thanks

Well, I now own a 240Z. $8K. Probably paid top dollar, but the value will be there in time. Thanks for the imput. Great forum you have here.

Here are some photos of the car I am lookingt at. From the responses here, I think the value of the car is $4-$5K? Turns out the battery tray is better than I thought. The owner had a piece of wood under the battery to raise it, not becuase it rusted out. Thanks

beandip's points are right on the money. For the East Coast this is a rarity, and yes the entry cost is (relatively)affordale. My gamble is that you guys are are on the leading edge of the next collector car evolution.

Thanks for the replies. I'm not sure what the "dog leg" is. As for rust-I know what you mean. I'm a long-time Mustang enthusiast (9 cars over 25 years) so i'm familiar with rust. I looked this car over very carefully and was impressed with the lack of evident rust. I realize the Datsun steel was poor, and will rot away just from abient moisture. This car has never seen snow and apprears exceptionely well preserved. No rust whatsover on front fenders, doors, inner fenders, trunk/hatch. Battery tray is toast, but I've never seen one on an original 35 year old car that isn't. I realize once you start probing then solid appearing metal can crumble away. The car is amazingly stock and well cared for. Asking price is a bit over 8K. Seems just a little over priced.
