1971 Datsun 240z Turbo Charged Convertible on 2040-cars

YOU ARE BIDDING ON MY ONLY MODIFIED 240Z IN THE Z MECCA COLLECTION. I AM SAD TO SAY THIS CAR MUST GO AS I JUST ACQUIRED ANOTHER LOW VIN NUMBER 1969 PRODUCTION CAR AND I JUST DON'T HAVE THE ROOM TO KEEP THEM BOTH. THIS RUST FREE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CAR WAS BUILT IN THE LATE 80'S. THE FLOORS, FRAME RAILS, BATTERY BOX, QUARTERS, AND ROCKER PANELS ARE 100% RUST FREE AND ROCK SOLID. THE UNDERCARRIAGE HAS BEEN HIGHLY REINFORCED WITH STEEL TO KEEP IT'S ORIGINAL STREGNTH AND INTEGRITY. I AM THE THIRD OWNER SINCE THE FERRARI CONVERTIBLE CONVERSION WAS COMPLETED. I ACQUIRED THE CAR IN 2001 FROM A MARINE STATIONED AT CAMP PENDLETON AND DECIDED TO BUILD A HIGHLY MODIFIED POWERHOUSE WITH ALL THE COOL BELLS AND WHISTLES. IT'S PULLED BY A 1982 DATSUN 280ZX 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION AND A 1976 280Z R200 3.5 GEAR RATION REAR END. MOTOR HAS BEEN COMPLETELY REBUILT, BALANCED AND PORTED, FITTED WITH CUSTOM T3/4 TURBO, RVM JAPANESE SPEC BLOW OFF VALVE, CUSTOM BOOST CONTROL, HIGH PERFORMANCE INTERCOOLER,  ELECTROMOTIVE MOTEC 58 TOOTH 7.25 TRIGGER WHEEL, CRANK SENSOR, ELECTROMOTIVE TECH 3 FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, 100 PSI BOSCH FUEL PUMP, CUSTOM BILLET FUEL RAIL, HIGH VOLUMN FUEL INJECTORS, MSD PLUG WIRES, CUSTOM PUCK CLUTCH DISC AND PRESSURE PLATE, 2 1/2 INCH CUSTOM MANDREL BEND STAINLESS STEEL EXHAUST, CUSTOM CENTER PIPE RESONATOR AND FINALLY OBX GREDDY EVO STYLE UNIVERSAL ECLIPSE GSX GST MUFFLER . THE CAR IS SO QUIET WITH THIS EXHAUST COMBINATION YOU DON'T EVEN HEAR IT RUNNING. IT'S TRULY THE CLASSIC DEFINITION OF A "SLEEPER".

THIS MONSTER PRODUCES A CONSERVATIVE 300 HP AT THE WHEELS AT 15 PSI. A FEW OF MY CRAZY TURBO Z FRIENDS PUSHED ME TO BOOST TO 20 PSI TO SEE WHAT THIS BEAST WOULD DO BUT I AM AT THE AGE WHERE I AM NO LONGER INVINSIBLE AND HAVE NO DESIRE TO CRASH AND BURN. THIS CAR IS SCARY ENOUGH AND I WARN THE WINNER OF THIS AUCTION TO PLEASE BE CAREFUL. IT WILL KILL YOU IF YOU ARE NOT AN AVID DRIVER.

CAR COMES WITH A BLACK CANVASS TOP THAT SNAPS INTO PLACE. TOP IS IN LIKE NEW CONDITION AS ALL THE PREVIOUS OWNERS INCLUDING ME ONLY DROVE THE CAR DURING THE NICEST WEATHER. INTERIOR OF CAR COMES WITH NEW PIONEER AM/FM CD PLAYER AND NEW 6X9 SPEAKERS AND TWO TWEETERS. DASH WAS REPLACED BRAND NEW AND DYED TAN AT TIME OF CONVERSION AND IS STILL CRACK FREE.

THE PAINT JOB IS STILL IN GOOD CONDITION CONSIDERING ITS 20 PLUS YRS OLD. THERE ARE TWO FLAWS ON THE TRUNK SHOWN IN THE PICTURES AND YOUR TYPICAL WEAR AND TEAR OF MINOR CHIPS AND SCRATCHES.

I WILL NEED $1000 DEPOSIT FROM THE WINNER VIA PAY PAL DUE IN 48 HRS. THE REMAINING BALANCE WILL BE DUE 7 DAYS AT CLOSE OF AUCTION VIA CASH OR WIRE TRANSFER ONLY. BIDDERS ON EAST COAST CAN USE MY PRIVATE SHIPPER FOR TRANSPORTING CAR. CONTACT HUGH SHILLITO AT 1-828-461-0700 FOR A SHIPPING QUOTE.
