Sold for $345.00....just the wheels by themselves had to be worth a lot more than that.

Yeah, but that's the original paint on an Arizona desert Z. I seriously doubt it has any major rust problems.

Alright, here you go: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20408&highlight

Eric, I couldn't connect to the link, it had your user name and asked for a password.

Not sure what part of the country you live in. Most junk yard Zs are pretty well stripped. Here's some project cars from all around the country: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20763

Must be that time of year again (Spring Cleaning) when the wife says the "project car" or "that piece of crap out in the garage" must go.

Eric, Since you saw the car in person, would it make a very inexpensive parts car for someone?

Well, out of the 8 or 9 Zs these people started out with they have one 240Z left starting at $50.00 (a different one than what Eric originally won, then wisely switched out for the white 240), a 280Z 2+2, starting at $100.00 and and a Triumph Spitfire starting at $50.00: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1972-Datsun-240Z-Good-project-or-parts-car-Last-one_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6783QQitemZ8046563257QQrdZ1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Black-1976-Datsun-280Z-2-2-Very-good-project-car-parts_W0QQitemZ8045257430QQcategoryZ6783QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1979-TRIUMPH-SPITFIRE-GOOD-PARTS-CAR_W0QQitemZ8046972280QQcategoryZ6783QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Hey, just becuse it looks like King Kong slammed his fist down on the roof doesn't mean that it can't be fixed You know the old saying - if there's a will, there's a way!

Ouch!! What a shame....as much as the Black Pearls are sought after I'm sure a real good bodyman could rebuild this car with the help of another donor car.

Kurt, How's the project coming along? Please post some pics when you are ready.

Eric, Hope to see more pics of the progress of your new project in the near future.

The subject (below) doesn't look as polished as some that I've seen on Ebay..to me it just looks real clean and doesn't have that chrome-like shine to it.

ahh, Zfever, the listing says the girl is not included....still interested???

Saw this on Ebay, starting bid seems to be pretty high. Just curious, what are these generally worth... this one looks to be in good condition: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4620633447&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT

For Z parts: New 240Z bumpers, dashes, consoles & "D" hubcaps. :classic: Cars: As many clean & original '67 Corvette 427/435hp coupes & convertibles I could find. :devious:

My 3/71 starts at 0; don't know about my '72, it's at the body shop.

It's good to hear your brother got a heck of a deal....From the sounds of things, there must be a lot of 240Zs in New Mexico and most of them aren't too badly rusted either.

Well, now that I've been enlightned, it's a no brainer for me.... hmm..let me think, a factory original from my local Nissan Dealer that fits very well or a repro from BV that costs more and fits like crap??

Hmmm, very curious, I wonder if he's looking to sell the owner's manual & invoice to the owner of #1316 for a very nice profit or if he's interested in buying the car?

Mike, I agree with you, you don't see too many people show pics of all the ID tags (they even show a pic of the engine serial #, which just happens to be matching).. I don't care much for the red interior, especially the velour stuff they have in there, but that can easily be changed. (I'm changing out the red iinterior in my '72 to black) Yes, the dash looks bad, but overall seems to be a pretty solid car. As of the time of this posting, the car still hasn't met reserve and is at $4,150.00 with just under 3 days remaining. There seems to be a number of 240s listed on Ebay right now besides this one and someseemed to be at very reasonable prices right now for you bargain hunters: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-Z-Series-240Z-1972-Datsun-240Z-good-condition_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6187QQitemZ4619279035QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-Z-Series-240Z-HIGH-PERFORMANCE-1972-Datsun-Nissan-240Z_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6187QQitemZ4619714442QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW
