1973 Datsun 240z on 2040-cars
Sausalito, California, United States
|
1973 Datsun 240Z with 73,000 ORIGINAL miles. Three owners over 41 years. Mechincally very sound. Everything operational. Runs great! A really “tight” engine that “purrs” beautifully. Body and interior in great condition. Even has the original horse hair mats and yellow nissan chocks. Engine completely redone at 70,000 miles. Rebuilt completely to spec!!! Everything kept stock except for an aluminum triflow radiator and 6-into-2 chrome headers. Head and block professionally machined. Standard bore maintained. All new pistons and Total Seal chrome racing rings. New bearings installed. New timing chain and chain guides. New starter, alternator, and water pump. New long-life battery. All new hoses, brass freeze plugs, spark plugs, red Taylor Spiro Pro spark plug wires, fuel filter, and gaskets. Rebuild was done EXACTLY by the book. I’m a perfectionist and made sure everything was done right. Block painted black and most parts bead-blasted if needed and powder-coated in black. Last owner swaped out the two Hitachi-SU flat-top carbuerators (stock in ’73) for two Hitachi-SU 1v sidedraft round-top carburetors, which were stock in the ‘70-72 240Z’s and are much better carbeurators (no vapor lock). I had these round tops professionally rebuilt last year.

Crank pulley to run air conditioning or power steering. I have the original radiator (still works great) and lots of extra parts I just picked up here and there when I saw them. Actually have almost a whole other engine in parts! Also, this may be a Bob Bondurant car used at his racing school when it moved to Sears Point in 1973. Looking into this and will follow up when I find out. I’ve owned the
car for about 4 years and really don’t want to part with it but I’m studying
full-time to apply to medical school and not working. Just want to find an owner
who will take care of it and love it as much as I do! Give me a call at (860) 878-0150 |

Autoblog Podcast #339:
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.
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:
