1973 240Z Chassis with BRE style paint job. Paint is for purpose, so it's not a show car.

She starts every time no problem. Engine is in great shape and I just replaced/upgraded most of the ignition components (new plugs/wires, ignition switch, coil, power resistor, CAS). I pull even compressio on all 6 cylinders as well.

Here's a list of "problems" with the car:
-Paint isn't show quality and doesn't cover all door jambs and such.
-Body has some dents behind the rear bumper (not that visible)
-Runs rich (included is new intake manifold, billet fuel rail, etc. to setup a nice intercooler and take care of running rich).
-Amp gauge isn't hooked up.
-Windshield has a crack, but new (original Datsun) windshield provided.

Mechanically it's sound, body is pretty clean, and it's fast and fun. Obviously it's a 33 year old car, so it's not going to be perfect, and it's priced as such. The drivetrain, however, is lower mileage early 80s. The engine was swapped in by Valdini racing and they did all the wiring. I've never had the car leave me stranded anywhere, nor have I had it overheat or anything of the sort. It's been running as-is with the motor in it for about 6000 miles now

$6500.00 or will trade for other interesting sports cars in the same price range.

Damn Mike, nice Z. I never knew you had it. I could have helped you build it, I had a 260Z. I'd buy it, but i am trying to buy a house.

Yeah man, I've had it for a while now, it's an awesome car! I just lost my job a while back and am going back to school, so I don't have the spending cash that I want to dump into it and make it perfect. You should trade me + cash for one of your GSXs ;)

This thing needs an intercooler (I have manifold, BOV, etc. for it already) and it's good for ~260RWHP in 2100lbs. That's going to be the acceleration of over 300RWHP out of a 2800lb 240SX ;)

Tempting, but I can't do it. The 95 is Auto, and my wife drives it. And the 92 is going to be a track car.
