Description of 1971 Datsun Z-Series

Hi! This Z is in great. unrestored. fully functioning condition. I purchased this car to keep but do not have dry storage for it. It would be sad to see it fail more after being taken such good care of for so long. For 166 detailed pictures send me an email and I will send you the link to my photobucket account. I could not get the link to my photobucket account to work on this auction. If you have a recommendation. please let me know. :)The car is mostly original. There are some spots that are rusty. My claim is that with this car you see what you get. There hasn't been a shady resto/ rust cover-up to make a quick sale on E-bay. There is limited or no rust in the important areas such as the floor pans. frame rails and battery box area. The seats are leather and smell good! Everything works. including. get ready for it. the rear defroster!!!! The car had an aftermarket louver on it most of its life and ALL of the heating elements are intact and in almost-new condition! I am not sure if I took a picture of the bottom edge of the hatch but it is in very good condition as well. The inside. plastic. tailight. panel is excellent. I have the door escutions but forgot to install them for the photos. :(The dash has one crack in the middle. The scuff plates do not have the original vinyl on them. There should be pictures of just about every part of the car. If you need a picture of something not on my photobucket. let me know and I will get it for you!The rear wheel cylinders are new Nissan units. Being the odometer does not have 100k mile indicator I cannot tell. for sure. if it is under 100k. under 200k. The engine and drivetrain run out excellent. The engine is very quiet and the trans. shifts smoothly. The clutch is fairly new. The transmission is a version 1 from a 1979 or earlier Z. The block serial number matches the number plate on the strut tower. The struts are KYB and are new. Driving impression. The car is very quiet inside while driving(as compared to other 240Zs). The car accelerates on par with an average 240Z. Brakes work excellent. Steering is solid. The exhaust is quiet and very little gases leak into the passenger compartment(rare). The choke cables work well and the console is not broken. The ash tray lid has a broken hinge on one side. U-joints are in good condition and the differential is quiet. The heater panel is NOT broken nor is the map light bezel. The glove box is in good condition. The horn button has one crack in the back plastic but holds tight to the horn ring. The tires are BFG G-Force Sport with about 50% tread. The Weds wheels are in good condition with the right rear having some bad rash. Call if you have any questions about the 240Z that the pictures or details do not answer. If there is something about the car that does not meet your needs. call and we can discuss the possibility of making changes. Should the rust be a issue with your purchase. I can offer repair through a local shop. Estimates can take a few days so please be patient. Douglas253-565-9823Please do not call to negotiate a lower price than the Buy It Now. If you are seriously considering the purchase of this car. please call and let me know your expectations of the car. This is very important. How I see the car and how you may see the car can differ greatly. If you are buying this car from out of the area. be sure to call and let me know your expectations. Some of the details left out of the pictures and description may be important to you and affect your decision. This car could be a restoration project car. It is complete enough. but. in my opinion. would serve better as a fun. daily driver. It is ready to go. as is. Thank you. all. for your interest in the car!
