2nd owner for the last 35 years. Runs good - been garaged for years - driven rarely since engine overhaul less than 10,000 miles ago. New tires five years ago - almost no miles on them. Michelin XZX.
Engine overhaul included new rings and pistons (still w/in the standard tolerances), Crane mid-range street cam, Thunderbird headers, Turbo Exhaust, competition clutch. And then I quit driving it. Z's run hot so I put two electric fans with a racing radiator to correct that. Now it runs great but I still don't drive it. Pioneer Supertuner with Bose speakers and a power amp - fuse blown somewhere that I haven't bothered to find. Have the springs for the rear - never put them on. Will replace the wheel cylinders on the rear brakes so it's drive away condition.
The body has some minor rust in front of the windshield on the vent, and maybe one other spot. Missing the hood emblem.
When I had it outside under a car cover - the sheep jumped on the roof - but a rubber hammer corrected most of that - just needs to be popped back out in one or two low spots.
Bottom line is I'm older, heavier, and into creature comforts. The Z is a fast, bare bones, low car that I don't love getting in and out of anymore.
Have an additional custom installed A/C behind the seats at edge of trunk deck. Combined with the standard A/C that came in the car - it's almost cool enough to drive in Texas - in April. :-)
Needs the power antennae replaced - have the part - never installed.
Have the OEM rear springs - never installed.
Needs the black rubber on the rear right bumper.
Looks OK but probably needs a repaint.
I'll post more photos if asked.

Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster
Tue, 28 Jan 2014A quiet drive in the country can be the most relaxing thing in the world. What if it didn't have to end, and you could keep driving for a week, a month or even a whole year? That's what Scott Fisher is doing by taking a one-year sabbatical from work and driving his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster around North America.
"I had owned a manufacturing business in Las Vegas for 16 years. I knew I needed to kinda' get out, and unwind, and get my mojo back," said Fisher.
Fisher's trip has covered over 30,000 miles through 44 states and 7 Canadian Provinces, and it is not over yet. He left from his home in Las Vegas, NV, last spring and drove to the Pacific. From there, he drove up the coast to the Canadian border and aimed the car for the Atlantic. He just posted on his blog about visiting the Nissan headquarters and museum in Franklin, TN, and his next stops are Mississippi and New Orleans, LA.
Datsun to unveil second model later this month
Sun, 08 Sep 2013Datsun, Nissan's new sub-brand for emerging markets, has announced plans to unveil its second model. Its first, the Go, was unveiled almost two months ago, and promised affordable, connected motoring for five in a handsome hatchback body. Datsun is following that up with a pair of new models for Indonesia.
The first of these two new vehicles will be shown on September 17 in Jakarta, eschewing the typical auto show debut. It's targeted at so-called "risers," the nickname for a group of highly aspirational customers in the Indonesian market. Datsun developed it locally with help from Nissan, and it'll cost under 100 million Indonesian rupiah (about $8,900 at today's rates).
We'll have the full boatload of information on the newest member of the Datsun family when it debuts on September 17. Scroll on to read the full press release from Datsun.
Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:
