Description of 1971 Datsun Z-Series

Up for sale is a 1971 240Z. in nice condition and recently restored. It is 99% rust free (There is no rust that I can tell on the car). This Z runs and drives very well and is stock besides a 2 1/2 inch diameter MSA exhaust system and down tube. electric ignition and some modular electrical upgrades. It has new suspension bushings. steering rack. front struts. front brake pads. motor mounts. acid washed gas tank. rebuilt transmission 4-speed transmission. rebuilt carbs by Z-therapy etc. The engine is the stock 2. 4L inline 6 cylinder. Body is in great condition with recent repaint to original OEM color. Again no rust. It also has a new windshield and weather stripping through out the car. Interior is in excellent condition. everything works including the clock. with the exception of the rear defroster. New OEM steering wheel. headliner. and shifter. aftermarket stereo with custom speaker enclosures in the front. speaker box in the rear. Dash is in great condition with two very small cracks (dash is OEM. no dash cap installed). Seats are in great condition as well. Floor boards are solid (I've enclosed pics of each floor board) and sound deadening has been applied throughout the panels and firewall. Fuse box has been replaced to blade style. The heater blower has been upgraded and works well. The negatives on the car are as follow: Door locks will not lock from the exterior key holes of the car. only from the interior. They will unlock using the exterior key holes however. The hatch lock works perfectly. Rear hatch and hood could use some better alignment to the body. not bad. but not perfect. There is a small oil leak. maybe a drip every few days. The weather stripping on the doors are thicker than OEM (I believe the weather stripping is actually for a 280Z) which makes a good seal. though causes more effort to fully close the doors. There are two small interior panels missing right behind the drivers seat near the wheel wells. This Z isn't perfect and I'm sure I'm forgetting some details. but it is in excellent condition. ready for a new home. The car is located in Albuquerque. NM. Inspections are welcome and encouraged. serious buyers can call me at 5O5 99l-7six9six but no tire kickers please. IMPORTANT: I have tried to describe this vehicle as accurately and honestly as possible but please remember this vehicle is 43 years old. As with any vehicle. there may be issues that I have overlooked or am unaware of. This vehicle is being sold as is with no warranty. Need $500 PayPal deposit within 48 hours of auction end and balance in cash or certified check COD within 7 days. Shipping is buyers responsibility. Thanks!

Not bad and there is not paint cracking. but noticeable if you are looking for it. I have added a pic. The driver's vin tag tag on the door jam was never reattached to the car after being painted. I still have it. though it is poor condition and was going to have it replaced. Just never got around to doing it. This is not a matching numbers car. it has an L24 but it is not original to the car.
