Datsun 240z - 1973 Excellent Condition on 2040-cars

Excellent condition, completely restored 1973 240Z. Most of the restoration was done approximately 2-3 years ago. Car was disassembled and restored including new paint. Has new door and rocker panels, new floor, new firewall. There is NO rust anywhere. Very minimal bondo (bring a magnet!). New windshield, all new weather striping including all doors and windows and quarter window inner and outer. Complete new interior with correct seat covers and carpet. Dash cover, new seat belts, all gauges work perfectly, all electrical is in perfect working order. All bulbs are new, all lens gaskets are new. All lights and lenses are excellent. New modernized headlights.Rechromed bumpers and bumper guards with all new rubber strips. Rebuilt engine with new hoses, water pump,  alternator, fan clutch, belts. Motor, transmission and differential mounts are new. New camshaft and followers. New header (only non correct part on car). Complete underside suspension has been removed, glass beaded and rebuilt with all new urethane bushings, all wheel bearings, all seals, ball joints, all u-joints are new, KYB struts, strut mounts, tie rods, steering rack. Has camber kits for perfect alignment.( I have the printout). ALL brake parts are new from master cylinder, brake booster, brake hoses to calipers and wheel cylinders. New full exhaust with resonator.New wheels and tires. Correct wheels and hubcaps with new Goodyear tires available as well. Has original A/C with new upgraded compressor, new hoses, new expansion valve and drier and upgraded more powerful blower motor, works VERY well.

Most of the above was completed prior to April, 2012. Additional upgrades since then include the front and real spoilers, wheels and tires, upgraded radio, speakers including a couple small 6" subs recessed in the body behind the seats and amplifier. New headlights, new battery and new triple row radiator. Car drives great, alignment is perfect.

Known flaws:

A few tiny chips in the paint. (front hood area and not noticable unless you search for them)

Small imperfections in the interior. No tears in the seats but a few places around the door seals etc. Lots of the original interior is still in place and looks older. Pictures are pretty accurate.

Clock time is fine for about a full day. Longer than that its unreliable.

The dash is a cover not the original. Very hard to notice the difference.

The rubber seal around the tailgate is new and it takes a little more than normal push to latch due to the fresh seal. Same for the passenger door.

Spare tire is old. Likely not road worthy. (4 of the original new tires and rims included. One could be used for the replacement)

Starts when cold but takes a few minutes to warm up. I would say its driveable after about 3-4 minutes.

I never got around to repairing the intermittent wipers or the wiper fluid squirters.

During some of Houstons hot days, if stuck in traffic it will occasionally hesitate a bit until you get back up to speed and the engine gets some fresh air. The new triple row radiator keeps the temperature from overheating. The temperature guage stays close to middle. The hesitation is more annoying than anything else. It doesnt stop running, just bucks a little when really hot. Hard to describe. I would assume a carb adjustment of some sort would correct it.

Overall

The car is really cool. Hard to park anywhere without people walking over to chat about it. Thumbs up constantly from other drivers. It's been a lot of fun driving it. I've kept it parked inside at my office and have driven it once or twice a week at lunch for the past year and a half ish. I'm selling because owning it was on my bucket list and I'm going to trade for the next bucket list car now.

Feel free to ask me any questions prior to bidding. My preference is to be brutally honest to avoid any misunderstandings after the sale.
