1971 Datsun 240z on 2040-cars

Year:1971 Mileage:110000 Color: molding and emblems do show their age
Location:

Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina, United States

Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina, United States

This 240Z was originally purchased in VA and was brought to NC when the original owner retired.  I have the original sales receipt (actually has 2 – one showing it as a 1972 and the correct  one showing it as a 1971), window sticker, warranty card, radio manual, Manufacturers Statement of Origin, vehicle order form and owner’s manual.  It was undercoated when it was new and not driven in the winter time so this Datsun is in superb shape. 

It still maintains its original driveline (engine, 4 speed transmission and rear end), and runs/drives well.  It currently has Nissan wheels from a late 70’s 280Z.  The original steel wheels and hubcaps come with the car.

The car had one repaint in the original silver color. 

The seat bottom and seat back on the driver side as well as the seat bottom of the passenger side were replaced with original seat covers.  I have the passenger seat back that comes with the car.  The car does not have its original radio – the original owner had it replaced and put speakers in the door panels.  Sadly the original radio was misplaced.  Aside from that, the interior is original and is in great shape for the age of the car.  There are 2 cracks on the dash that are shown in the picture.  It also needs a rear hatch strut. 

Bumpers, exterior molding and emblems do show their age.  They are presentable for a driver vehicle, but, could be replaced to make it nicer.

If I were keeping the car I would replace the shifter boot, foot rest and rear carpet as it shows more age/wear than the rest of the interior parts.  All gauges work except for the clock.

Mechanically the car is in great shape.  You can see from the pictures that the engine is stock, and extremely clean for a 42 year old vehicle with 110K miles. 

The car is currently located just south of Wilmington NC.  I’m happy to email any additional pictures you’d like to see.  Please email if you have any questions.

Malaise Era All-Stars

Fri, 17 May 2013

A 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:

Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

A 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.
