I would keep this car but a recently (costly) engine rebuild for my Porsche 911 is forcing me to sell. Plus I don't drive this car enough...it needs to be driven.

PRICE IS NEGOTIABLE

NO TRADES and NO OVERSEAS BUYERS

1973 Datsun 240Z
119,000 miles
-Full receipts from the 80s (large folder filled with receipts)
-All recent service done at Z Sport in Everett, WA
-Full restoration done in the 90s
-New front windshield, water pump, suspension, alternator, master cylinder, etc...

Modifications...

-New paint. Shaved trim, emblems, etc..
-280Z block
-280Z rear end
-3.1 stroker kit
-triple 44mm Mikuni carbs with Mikuni manifold
-MSA header
-custom exhaust with titanium JIC Racing muffler
-280Z 5 speed transmission (no grinds)
-Custom adjustable coilovers with shortened bodies (Tokico Illimuna with Hypercoil threaded springs) You can pretty much lay the car on the frame with these.
-Cusco front/rear strut braces
-Nardi Steering wheel but have original
-carbon fiber bumpers and BRE style wing
-Enkei 92 wheels with new tires (less than 1000 miles)

Lots of new parts in boxes...Suspension Techniques front/rear swaybars, Suspension Techniques Master Bushing kit, etc..

I've had the car up on a rack at a Z shop and they couldn't/find see any rust.


Bad...
-crack in top of dashboard
-needs new driver/passenger footwell carpet (starting to fall apart because it's old)
-some chips in the engine bay and around rear hatch (inside) that need touching up
-e brake needs adjusting
-some minor TLC (it's still an old car)

Car runs and drives great...starts up every time.


Looking on NADA it's...
Low = $7,250
Retail Average = $11,675
Retail High = $20,150


$9500 but negotiable. Again, no trades or overseas buyers.

I'm mainly selling the car to fix my Porsche....so I'm flexible on the price. If you have a cash offer, PM me and maybe we can work something out.

would you take a lowball offer of $7000.00? preferably shipped to N.Y for $7,500.00? i like the car and figure its worth making an offer.

Car is still for sale. I appreciate you guys letting me post it on this site. I had a few serious buyers but they backed out due to financial issues or other random stuff (one guy wanted a race car project and the sunroof wouldn't work for him).

I'm accepting all offers...just no trades.
Here is a video of it on a dyno back when it had Longchamps (they are long gone). The carbs were tuned after and the car pulls a lot harder.
