CA. 1970 Datsun 240Z. Low VIN Bay Area $4700

[SpeedMonkeyInc]

For sale is my beloved Z. I would keep this beautiful car but I am a full time student and just can't justify keeping her anymore. Most of the time the car just sits because I have another car for commuting.

The car is a true first series car with a build date of 5/70. The VIN is 4350, one of the first 5000 Z cars ever built!

Mileage on the chassis is 94xxx. Mileage on the engine is unknown. This is a replacement that some fool who didn't know much about these cars did back in the 80s. Unfortuneately the original engine block and cyl. head are long gone. The current engine is a L24 with an E88 head and intake manifold. The carbs are rebuilt Z Therapy units and work brilliantly. I recently did a valve adjustment and carb tune along with timing adjustment. The engine runs very nicely. Perfect oil pressure readings and the amps meter is always steady.

The body of this car is straight and clean. There are a few spots of minor rust in the usual places, but nothing serious. The fool who kept this car back in the 80s ( second owner ) also changed the paint from the original 905 red to some hideous burgandy brown that was all the rage back then. I had the car resprayed a few years ago with the green you see in the photos. The color is the factory 113 green metallic first offered in 1972.

The interior is ok. Mostly original and showing its age.

Modifications are few, they include: 6-1 headers and a 2.5 exhaust, Ebach lowering springs, Sparco racing seat, strut tower braces, front air dam, and after market wheels.

The bad about this car is that the exhaust has a couple of holes and needs to be patched up. Right now it is really loud. Also there is steering wheel shake that feels like rotten bushings. This only happens at higher speeds, the car still drives straight and handles great. Also the door seals need to be replaced. Lastly, the center U-joint of the propshaft needs lube. Right now it is squeaking under hard accerlation. It sounds really ugly and that is the worst of it, at cruise and light throttle the squeak is not there.

Thanks! Feel free to contact me with any questions. Sorry, no trades.

nice car. GLWS. Does it have AC?

[satal95]

Damn that is Gorgeous Bump for a nice looking Z

Does not look like it and in 1970 the air cond was a pretty expensive option. Most people bought the cars without air especially in the bay area.

[SpeedMonkeyInc]

When I bought the car, it did actually have AC. It may have been a dealer option, or an add on at some point in history. The system wasn't working when I bought the car, so I chose to pull 80lbs of scrap metal off the front of the motor.

Thanks guys for the compliments. I am saddened to see her go.

Hey C2AUTOSPL! The wheels on the car I bought from your shop during a group buy here on Zilvia.

[duffman1278]

Great looking car. Bump for you

[mrmephistopheles]

AC wasn't available as a factory option till ~1975.

SpeedMonkey - Matt? Did y ou ever live in SD and drive a black zenki 14?

[SpeedMonkeyInc]

Hey hey Mr. M!

Yes you recall correctly. Can't remember what DD that was we were at together hella days ago, but those where good times. I miss my S14 so so badly....

How are things?

Damn I love Z's always wanted one and if I didn't just recently drop a swap into my 240sx I would have been planning a road trip up north to pick this beautiful car up.

GLWS!

Things are good. Been thru over a dozen S-chassis since you last saw me. Also been to Japan for awhile and we're now back. I'm sending you a PM with my AIM name - send me an IM when you have time.

I do still have my red fastback though (and it's only gone 4000 miles since 2004).

No, but it was a dealer option Kevin, I owned a 71 I bought from a Women in Woodside in 1985. that had it.
I have also seen a couple of 240Z's in socal with the exact same air setup as well.

Remember Kevin long before 240sx's. I owned 10 240Z's and had my own Japanese Engine and Transmission business. You forgot I have a few years on you. LOL

[irax]

you owned a 91 240z??????

[DreamN]

In 1985 too! :keke:


Great Z. If I wasn't so stuck on getting another proper daily rather than a project, I'd really consider picking this up. Been wanting one for years now.

lol guys it was typo its corrected now. hahahhahahhahha you all know what I meant. LOL

[Norcaldime]

hot car.. good price too

[SpeedMonkeyInc]

I have been driving this car around a lot the last few days, the more I drive it the better it gets. These cars don't like to sit, they get cranky.

I don't want to see her! I am thinking about raising the price, this car is too good.

Edit:

p.s. I also have a 2001 Suzuki TL1000-S for sale if anyone is interested.

[SpeedMonkeyInc]

BUMP!

Local sale fell through. Still have her.

[illvialuver]

the last car this guy sold was legit(because it is mine now!), I don't know if he sold this one already, but here is a bump.
