Zed Head Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share #722 Posted April 17, 2021 Clean stock 73 went for $28,500. Still has the ready-to-blow fabric water hoses. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1973-datsun-240z-154/ Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/64671-zs-on-bat-and-other-places-collection/?page=61#findComment-619957 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share #723 Posted April 17, 2021 And a very clean modified 77 went for $35,000. Didn't read through to find out what made it so special. That's a big number for a 77. Maybe it's the bumpers and the side lights. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1977-datsun-280z-55/ Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/64671-zs-on-bat-and-other-places-collection/?page=61#findComment-619958 Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonetreesteve Posted April 18, 2021 Share #725 Posted April 18, 2021 I spotted this '71 Series I, # HLS30-11811 on the East Texas Craigslist. The seller is asking $18,500.00 and states that the engine was rebuilt and that the car has "no smoke and no rust" . Looking at the picture showing the underside of the hood, if the hood isn't a replacement, the car looks be a 920 Safari Gold car. Here's the link: https://easttexas.craigslist.org/cto/d/tyler-1971-series-one-datsun-240z/7307733326.html "Its time for me to part with my Z. Priced to Sell. The person I purchased this from had it for 38 years. I had the motor rebuilt, both Carbs rebuilt. All pumps, Alt, Starter plus Clutch and fly wheel brand new. New Radiator. New shocks plus other front end items replaced. New Exhaust New tires with original wheels. Seats, headliner and carpet in great shape! I have receipts for all mentioned plus a stake of paperwork dating back to the purchase of vehicle. Including original manuals No Smoke, No Rust. Straight 6 with 4 speed transmission Garage kept. I've been driving it everyday for the past month after selling my truck. It is a very dependable ride, absolutely a blast to drive. We are moving cross country and I would like to sell before doing so. It is a series one which are more desirable and collectable. The VIN (and number made) is 11811. I also have the back window louvers and front headlight clear covers. CLEAN TITLE IN M Y NAME. Odometer is at 30000. Has tripped once making the total 130k It is now 50 years old! There are a few things which could be fixed. (Or just drive it like I've been) All gauges work except the RPM gauge. It was working until we changed point system out to electronic ignition. The gas tank has a leak where the lines run into it. I have been just putting 7 gallons of gas at a time to avoid any gas spillage. It only leaks when you fill it it past the point of tear. I just have not had the time or energy to fix it. It looks like it can be welded back."

HLS30-03196 is a low numbered car and has its original matching numbers engine: L24-06190. The car still retains its original 918 Orange paint in spare tire well and other places and is one of the most desirable 240Z paint colors! https://www.ebay.com/itm/1970-Datsun-Z-Series/224430749107?hash=item34411d75b3:g:JLkAAOSwd9pgfNLy 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/64671-zs-on-bat-and-other-places-collection/?page=61#findComment-620086 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadsun Posted April 19, 2021 Share #730 Posted April 19, 2021 Quite the paint job. Didn't even bother to take off the license plate. You can also see orange at bottom of the door jam.

Popular Post Av8ferg Posted April 19, 2021 Popular Post Share #731 Posted April 19, 2021 I was on my way to the airport today for work on a road I’ve driven 100x that’s 18 miles from my house and out of the corner of my eye I spotted what appeared to be a Z. I hit the brakes, turned around and behind a shed with a bunch of other cars next to a trailer home was this 240z. I couldn’t get close because he has a no trespassing sign and probably a shotgun or two and I had a flight to catch but once I get back I’m going to see if it’s worth buying and if the guy will sell. I’ve never see a 240z in my area ever. I can’t tell from the pic what year it is ,either way it will be an adventure to look at it without getting shot. 6 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/64671-zs-on-bat-and-other-places-collection/?page=61#findComment-620104 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonetreesteve Posted April 19, 2021 Share #732 Posted April 19, 2021 Looking at the front bumper of the car it's either a '70, '71 or a '72 240Z. I blew up the picture, but it was really tough to see the right rear sail panel to tell if it had a Series I emblem or a later Z emblem. Either way, it's always fun to see a 240Z sitting amongst other vehicles on private land. However, as you said, it wouldn't be very fun to see some crazy guy come around the corner with a shotgun pointed at you!
