  1. Hi Jim, Not sure if your buddy purchased the '73 240Z in Amarillo or not. Here's a '72 240Z located in the Dallas-Fort Worth area that was just posted earlier today: https://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/cto/d/fort-worth-1972-datsun-240z-240/6789946112.html
  2. The car ended up selling on eBay for $37,750.00 on Christmas day. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1970-Datsun-Z-Series-Fairlady-240Z/163439575664?
  3. Jim, Here's a '73 240Z located in Amarillo, a little over 300 miles from Dallas. It's not just a shell, but looks to be a complete, non-running car: https://amarillo.craigslist.org/cto/d/amarillo-3-datsun-nissan-240z/6747366114.html
  4. Car is located in California. Here's the eBay link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1978-Datsun-Z-Series-black-pearl/163392627135?hash=item260af5a1bf:g:Y3sAAOSwENVb7Nt2:rk:20:pf:0&vxp=mtr
  5. Here's a picture taken in the mid-to-late 1970's at the Aurora Mall with a dark-colored 280Z and a light-colored 280Z 2 +2 parked in the lot behind the VW Fastback. Aurora is a suburb of Denver and the picture is courtesy of the Aurora History Museum.
  6. Looks like the car is back on eBay. Here's the link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-Datsun-Z-Series/264036857874?hash=item3d79d2b812:g:UCwAAOSwxZxb1lTW:rk:9:pf:0&vxp=mtr
  7. Here's a picture that I downloaded about 10 years from the Internet (sorry, too long ago to remember what site it came from) of some 240Zs awaiting restoration for Nissan's Vintage Z Program at Pierre Z in Hawthorne, CA back in 1997.
  8. Here are some photos of the very early concept Zs and then the finished product.
  9. @240260289 You are correct, it was in Europe. The picture was taken at the Autorama in Portugal almost 50 years ago.
  10. Agreed. Looks like the auction ended 2 days ago and did not meet the reserve with a high bid of $5,600.00. With the condition this car is in, the seller should have lowered the reserve, taken the $5,600.00 and ran!
  11. Here are some old black and white photos. The last picture has an interesting story about a former Boeing engineer in Washington state. Here's the link:
  12. Pretty bad when an ambulance company advertises X-Rated movies on their vehicles...... Only in Vegas.
  13. Agreed. It is going to take a lot of time and money to restore this car properly. The prices keep going up on these 1969 240Z production cars no matter what condition they're in.
  14. Car is in rough shape, but is still restorable. Here's the link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-Datsun-Z-Series/264012936024?hash=item3d7865b358:g:UCwAAOSwxZxb1lTW:rk:10:pf:0&vxp=mtr
  15. #1578, located in Wichita Falls, TX sold for $12k on eBay. Was that you who won the auction, lordkarma88?
  16. $32K is at least $10k too high for this car. The seller is going to have trouble selling the car at that price. Here's a '70 that isn't as original, but has a lower VIN (#1578) and is currently at a far better price on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1970-Datsun-Z-Series/142968044223?hash=item21498f3abf:g:zM4AAOSw5SpbwlkP:rk:12:pf:0&vxp=mtr s-l1600 (3).jpg.crdownload
  17. I agree, it will be very interesting. I would hope that whoever wins the auction spends the money to get the car back to original condition including its original 903 Blue paint, correct steel wheels with D hubcaps, Series I steering wheel, Hitachi AM radio, leather shift boot, etc. Overall, this car is in so much better shape than the other '69 production 240Zs we've seen lately on BaT and eBay.
  18. Here's the link for this 1969 production 240Z located in California: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-Datsun-Z-Series-240Z/352480358337?hash=item5211776fc1:g:AhcAAOSwLXNbu8PC:rk:3:pf:0&vxp=mtr
  19. I get the feeling that it won't go as high as $9200.00 as it did on on eBay. Makes me wonder what happened with the eBay auction winner and any of the "second chance" bidders that had an opportunity to buy the car.
  20. Excellent price for a Series I car. Congrats, Chuck!
  21. That's higher than I expected it would go for considering the large amount of rust damage and the non-matching engine number. However, the winning bid does make a statement about the rise in value of the '69 production 240Zs, Series I 240Zs and all 240Zs in general.
  22. Agreed. Way too rusty and missing its original matching-numbers engine. Even in the bad shape it's in, the car will probably end selling for more than $7k due to its sub-200 VIN.
