1972 Datsun 240z on 2040-cars
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
|
1972 240Z Production date of 10/71 Originally a California Car No signs of any accidents This is the cleanest unmolested Z that I have ever seen. It is very rare to find a Z as complete as this one with Factory parts. Almost every other 240Z that I have come across has the seats recovered, after market carpet kits, and rust repairs There is no rust on the car The car has been repainted once in its original Orange. Paint is over 12 years old and is shiny but not perfect. A few chips, light scratches Air conditioning The interior is in great shape with the original seats (in perfect shape and not recovered) and original carpet. The door panels have been replaced with NOS ($1000.) Too many NOS parts to list. Some examples being: Full exhaust Starter Fuel pump Door panels Bumper mounts All front end bushings Tail lights Brake master cylinder coil Nissan reman distributor The frame is in mint shape with no repairs or undercoating covering up rust. Windshield is chip and scratch free Perfect headliner The dash has no cracks but has been repaired in a couple of places. Battery tray is clean Rebuilt
motor Rebuilt polished SU Carbs Rebuilt 4 speed tranny with new clutch. Shifts like a dream. Brand new 15" Rota rims in Hyberblack with Yokohama tires. Tires fit perfect with no rubbing. The car also comes with the Stock wheels and Hub caps with Radial T/A's Brand new Eibach springs and KYB struts on all 4 corners. The car also comes with the original springs which I can have put back in if you prefer. Hidden 2 way paging alarm with immobilizer The car runs and drives great. All of the U-joints are tight with Zero clunks I have all of the records for the car since 1989. Previous owner spent $$$ replacing anything he could with Nissan New Old Stock parts. Original radio and working power antenna The car is stock except for the Wheels, springs, camber adjust and bump steer spacers. ( The clock has been replaced with an identical looking battery powered unit. When the previous owner went to rebuild the motor the mechanic told him that one of the cylinders would have to be bored. He was not comfortable with this. Instead he had a separate block rebuilt and stored the original numbers matching block. This block will be included in the sale. The air con needs to be recharged. The previous owner said that it will hold a charge for 2 years. It is 40 years old and has hose clamps instead of threaded fittings. The car has a custom tonnue cover in the back hatch area that can easily be removed (snaps) The car is located in Vancouver Canada, which is a 3 hour drive from Seattle. I will try to ad a video of the car running and driving in the next couple of days. All of the pictures in the ad are current I have added pictures of the frame, very few of the sellers add these.This in my opinion is the most critical part of the car. If they have been repaired or replaced the rest of the car will have rust as well. Do not be fooled by New shiny repaints There is much more to this car than in the ad. If you are serious about purchasing the car reply with your phone number for more info. |

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
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:
