Just a wild guess, I guess. Because the owner said it slips out of 5th gear and goes into a neutral and that he found metal in the oil when he drained it. -
We were able to contact the original owner of the car today and he independently confirmed it was a Datsun Competition conversion and even has the receipts to prove it. So mystery solved. I'm guessing it needs total refurbishment so if you have any sources for the rare parts let me know. Thank you for your help. You were right on, as usual!

A friend of mine bought a 260Z that was in a storage locker for 40 years. A real barn find! It was heavily modified for racing back in the 1970's and then went into storage. We pulled the engine and transmission out today and can't figure out what the transmission is. We thought it was from a roadster but it has a zcar bell housing. Here are some pics. Any information, comments or suggestions are appreciated. Thank you. -Mike

Whats good for the hippo is good for the Z!

Thank you!

Shouldn't it also have the alloy wheels? I wonder if the numbers match?

Wow! A documented Black Pearl for $2K!

The swirly effect will fool some into thinking they are having a LSD flashback. Like escaping from a deep space black hole in a Z car! Swirly stuff so cool! Like far out, Mike!!!

I guess $4,500 is pretty cheap to fix when you drill down into what it takes to do right. If it ups the value on a rare car its money well spent.

May be member "Disepyon" could patch it. He has an English wheel and extraordinary metal forming skills!

That's good info. to know.

So a skilled metal worker can't patch a sunroof hole? The whole roof needs to be replaced? Just asking cause I don't know.

You can carfax the VIN. It might tell you if it is still out there registered. I googled your VIN and did an image search and this came up. You lucky guy!

What is really needed on this web site is an OVER reacted button.
