    the thing im looking at is he says its mostly original, with the exception of a few things. it could would maybe be worth it but i would expect a concours condition car for the price that he is asking. heres another if you dont mind traveling a bit and looks extremely clean. http://www.vintagemotorssarasota.com/Car_pages/Datsun/70datsun.htm interior could use a little but i have never seen a straigter set of floor pans and frame rails ever in my life!!
  3. and they are now selling it on Zcar.com for 4500
  4. after reading the title i didnt even bother reading the description on the car you have to pay to play

    i like this one i mean the car looks nice but notice the indiscrepencies, with the all original matching numbers, heres part of the ad You are Bidding on a 1971 Datsun 240Z. It is bone stock and original right down the the interior. This is a serious survivor. The 240z was purchased in California and has been in California its entire life. This was a one owner car. I purchased this from the original owner who was 92 yrs old. The car only has 129,888 original miles. The quarter panels, doors, trunk, frame rails, are all rust free and original. This car was unmolested and garage kept for the past 30yrs. This car is 98% restored and all the hard work has been done. This 240Z still wear all of its original interior and the numbers match on the motor and tranny. The car wears Minilite wheels and tires with great tread. The car runs and drives like new with no mechanical problems. This would be perfect for any serious Vintage Datsun collector The motor and 5 speed transmission are origianl and numbers matching. The cars equipment consists of power disc brakes which work excellent and stops with no problem, It does not pull or wander, it drives down the road straight and handles like new! It has a front sway bar. The car had all new exhauset put on from the manifold to the muffler a few years ago. The car wers new strut Rod Bushings, Sway Bar Bushings, Sway Bar Links, Lower ball joints and Differential mount. It has a new power booster, master cylinder and new brake hoses. i didnt know that on american spec 240's that you could get a 5 speed, and notice where it says new power vac booster, yet in the pics its rusted. i also like the original dual mirrors too. heres the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2406566410&category=6187
  8. to make this combination and or what they use ?? The 2.7 Liter A big bore, long -rod combination utilizing the E-31 or E-88 cylinder head from your stock 240Z engine. Use your existing 240Z engine so your numbers match. SCCA Improved Touring style cylinder head. 200+ hp and 195+ lbs of torque sounds like fun any ideas anyone
  9. i think he said it best no matter what you decide to do remember is what you want for your car. make it what you want and invision, and keep it to your satisfaction. dont fall into the norm of things and make it what others would think or want it to be but instead work hard on your car to make it the best Z for you and having it doing and running the way you want it:cheeky:

    hes right, you can use the see threws but with no where to really mount it, it would be useful. hes also correct with the fram filter to. just like stock, inexpensive and works well
  11. ZmeFly replied to tanny's post in a topic in Body & Paint

  12. ZmeFly replied to malder's post in a topic in Help Me !!
    the only gas tank that will fit the 240Z somewhat is the 75-76 gas tank, and that doesnt fit perfectly but does alright. sorry no luck for the ZX tank

  17. ZmeFly replied to fsward's post in a topic in Open Chit Chat
    you can post the serial number in a www.zhome.com they have a searchable data base that you might want to check out. if he put it in there as his car at one time it might still be there james

  20. ZmeFly replied to bart's post in a topic in Engine & Drivetrain
    the question is the difference betweeen headers and stock manifold and its true there is not neglible difference in weight. with the small amount of articles you are speaking of there is NO significant hp increase, and still on a stock engine the header will not do much of anything in relation to gain power. that coupled with the fact of the cost of an equal length header, lets face facts after the heart ache and money, id keep the stock manifold hands down
  21. ZmeFly replied to bart's post in a topic in Engine & Drivetrain
    but you will not save any appreciable weight with headers. as a matter of fact some of the headers weigh slightly more the then manifold. someone known to me has weighed the differences from the section for the F54 setup from headpipe to flange for the cat and it was only 2#difference( ie manifold vs header), still a savings over the header. the point is that the WEIGHT SAVINGS is NIL over the two, and in some cases, the header WILL WEIGH MORE
  22. ZmeFly replied to tanny's post in a topic in Body & Paint
    by rivets. some like to leave them off as i do. i dont like the look they give the Z and prefer myself to leave them off. i would put them on the way they came off with rivets. what i did to remove mine was to first of course remove the rubber from the insets of the side molding then carefully use a drill to drill out the old rivets. good luck james
