That is interesting they won't even let you look at the ad's Mart, @dutchzcarguy Here are a few pic's of the ZX looks like the V8 was too much power for the driver. Old school V8 with a manual transmission. 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/64671-zs-on-bat-and-other-places-collection/?page=125#findComment-640623 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ad says Chevy V8, which I thought was amusing given the license plate frame.

dutchzcarguy Posted May 24, 2022 Share #1498 Posted May 24, 2022 Where does d.a.r.e. stand for? oh wait... i look it up! 👍 Drug Abuse Resistance Education From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigationJump to search This article's lead section may be too short to adequately summarize the key points. Please consider expanding the lead to provide an accessible overview of all important aspects of the article. (February 2022) DARE logo Drug Abuse Resistance Education (stylized as D.A.R.E.) is an education program that seeks to prevent use of controlled drugs, membership in gangs, and violent behavior. It was founded in Los Angeles in 1983 as a joint initiative of then-LAPD chief Daryl Gates and the Los Angeles Unified School District[1][2] as a demand-side drug control strategy of the American War on Drugs. The program's mascot is Daren the Lion. Its American headquarters is in Inglewood, California. DARE expanded to Great Britain in 1995. 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/64671-zs-on-bat-and-other-places-collection/?page=125#findComment-640789 Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonetreesteve Posted May 25, 2022 Share #1500 Posted May 25, 2022 1970 Datsun 240Z - $31,299 (Scottsdale) Check out the story of this oddball 240Z that is currently listed on the Scottsdale, AZ Craigslist, Caveat Emptor! When the owner turned 16 he spent the money he saved up washing dishes to buy his first car, a 1972 240Z. Unfortunately he crashed that car and ever since had always wanted another. In 2005 he found a 240Z from a seller out of Chicago, bought it, and had it shipped to Scottsdale, AZ. The car needed a lot of work both mechanically and cosmetically and you can see all that has been done over the past 17 years of owning it below. So many new components with years of life to go! What this car is: An attempt at a faithful recreation of a late 1970/early 1971 240Z down to the correct stickers, radio, console, badges, air filter box, etc. It is mechanically super sound having just completed a significant mechanical restoration of all the parts and systems listed below. It drives great and is quick tight, and peppy. It looks great and turns heads! What this car isn’t: A numbers matching original. When the car was delivered to the owner from Chicago he examined the VIN numbers. The dashboard VIN and the door jamb VIN were both matching HLS30-0003137. However, the firewall VIN shows HLS30-0014160. You will notice the hatchback does not have the vertical defrost lines you’d expect from a 1970/71 model year car. In order to get the car titled the AZ DMV took the car into a special garage and did a level 2 inspection. They physically removed both the dashboard and door jamb VIN plates and replaced it with a state issued VIN you see in the door. The car also has an AZ emissions waiver. Despite having the vent covers you’d expect from a 70/71 please know there are no hatchback vents, those covers/grills are cosmetic to match the look of a 70/71 Z. The car does have the 70/71 plastic jack/equipment covers behind the seats and does not have the 72 and beyond compartments with lids between the seats and spare tire. The owner doesn’t know when or why the original hatchback that would match the rest of the car was replaced along the way. Everything works except: • Radio – this is an original 1970 Z radio as we understand it. I’ve no means to bench test it but was told it works when I bought it years ago. It is not connected to the dashboard • The heater fan doesn’t work. It’s not clear if it’s simply the switch (can’t get it to move) or the fan motor or both. All vent sliders work and move the vents but can’t get the fan to go. The car recently completed a partial restoration by the esteemed Jeff Gordon at ZCS Auto Group on May 6, 2022. Let me know if you have any questions or would like to come to see it! John I encrypted my number to avoid spam and bots.
