Terrapin Z

Perhaps a transition car Jim, or one that has had some changes along the way. Not enough detail pic's in the ad. It would be nice to get the VIN. I saw the spilt carpet in back, later tool compartments? later carpet? The dash looks to have a 73 hazard switch, with the lighter above? The whole ad seems strange.

OUCH.....Spendy B&R auto wrecking has a 280. Just a little South of Eugene OR.

CO, Site, I will switch the thread back to the OP's topic........ @240260280 Brake parts are on the way. I have not shipped to CN in a while, boy the rates have gone up. Oh well my contribution to the build. Tracking number is CH40634338US. Let me know when you've got them, should be about a week. I can't remember if there were line clips down the tunnel or not. Motor and trans are still in there and hard to see. If you end up still missing something let me know and I will help out again. For the other topic here, I think those are 2X4's not 2X6's. I will still use my big blocks, thank you. I'll pass on the giant lego's

Coming out of the barns now..... https://portland.craigslist.org/clk/cto/d/classic-datsun-240z/6562287172.html I like the "original interior in excellent shape", especially the chrome arm rest and painted white headliner.

I used this technique before, just when I get to my final height I put in bigger solid blocks for stability. A large beam I cut some pieces from. I am not sure I would want to be under there with it just being on the 2X4's. I suppose that is a personal choice.

Seems to be a popular price to ask. At least this one looks a bit nicer than the last two. https://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/cto/d/z-4-speed-manual/6562004029.html

I am parting a 73, I just went and looked at the fuel/brake clips and they are a bit rusted. Not sure if you want to use them on such a nice looking car. Just thought I would offer them up. The proportioning valve is there too (the fire wall one?) and will also need some clean up.

This looks to have been sitting outside for the last 17 years or so "sitting since the early 2000's" I imagine the floors and tire tub have some holes. Do the bumper guards on the rear look like they are too close together? Not even centered to the license plate really, maybe just the angle. It does look like it would have all it's parts intact for the year. No inside pic's though.

In WA they give you new plates every 7 years, To keep the reflectivity up for the Police to read your plate at night. More important that the VIN number matches right? and that it is in the sellers name.

Not mine, Looks like $8000 is the new $800 https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cto/d/1970-datsun-240z-early-vin/6559962232.html The seller even suggests it could be worth $100K when restored.

You can always ask for the moon, and then come down to reality.

While it is a nice looking car, It is now posted on eBay at BIN $38,000 (OBO) https://www.ebay.com/itm/Z-Series/183174614455?hash=item2aa60ecdb7:g:dDUAAOSwwz5azpV8&vxp=mtr With a recent car going for $31,000 on BAT, maybe the Z cars are gaining notoriity.

Right?!?.......same here!

Looks like it is at a dealership so you know the price will be high. Price not listed. Nicely done car though, lots more pic's in the ad. https://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/ctd/d/pristine-1972-datsun-240z/6556618462.html

Not mine, Came up on CL yesterday 4/9 Newer valve cover and air cleaner, maybe not the original motor. Some reversible mods. https://wenatchee.craigslist.org/cto/d/1970-datsun-240z/6556207446.html

Listed as sold now.

First time I was able to get to a swap meet early on day 1, payed off with some dealer swag. Eldon Vories Motors, in Walla Walla WA. I started a FB page Dave Zeparta, (clever name right). I despise FB and it's tracking, It can still be a useful tool for staying in touch. I posted the pics there to get some traffic. https://www.facebook.com/dave.zeparta.3 Friend requests welcome. Picked up some NOS to sell too, only one Z car part though. a FI relay for a 75-77 280.

Cosmetics look great, but don't forget the mechanicals. Brakes, steering, chassis, electrical, etc. Be safe. SR821 (Canyon Rd) is fun. Nice looking car!!

Just relaying information, gracias friend.

Wow, someone has deep pockets. Makes me wonder if it was a member, saw my post and jumped on it. I think it had been up for 3 hours before I saw it. Glad I got mine for the price I did.
