Purchased this vehicle with my father around February 2008. I had been looking for one to restore and get a small hobby going with my father, this car reminded him of his 71 Z so we had to buy it. The car sat at a gentleman's house up the road from us where it had not been ran in years, the guy owned it since high school. We bought it from him and towed it home. My father was the brains in the mechanical realm and got it fired up and running within an hour of us getting it home. Long story short he passed away in June of 2008 and the project stopped. I don't know where to begin and have to much on my plate to get this Z back into the prime condition it should be in so I will pass it on to the next person. Clean and clear title in my name. 1971, 4 speed, Red exterior original paint, Black interior. original l24 with stock carb etc. unsure on mileage the original owner rolled the odometer to all zeros because he wanted to swap or rebuild the motor and wanted it fresh. has AC but not sure if it is hooked up properly. seats are worn out but i have a set from another car to swap with them. Dash is cracked, and the vents are not working properly, Has the typical rust in the dog leg in front of the rear tires. Battery area is rusty but has not gone thru, under the rear hatch sill there is rust as well. Floor pans are decent with a small hole near the drain plug on the drivers floor. there is also a dent on the drivers rear near the taillight. I was going to purchase a rear sill off a donor car and weld it in, and buy patch panels for the dog legs. I'm no welder this is where my father would have come in. The transmission seems to grind or have trouble getting into 3rd, i have two T-5 Borg Warner transmissions that you could use to swap, or i also have a 260z engine , l26 and transmission with 75k to swap.I have another l24 and an l28 engine. I purchased the short shifter and adapter for the t-5 its new in package. Cannon triple and double intake manifold. triple needs a little bit of welding. Performance radiator & Exhaust, new shift boot, also a new weather stripping kit , door sills. all parts missing in the photo such as rear taillight housing was removed to show the rust issue but will be included in the sale. I have more parts than are shown in the photos. If The Sale Reaches Above One Thousand Dollars I will Include the Crates and Tons of extra parts, Bumpers, door panels, signals, emblems, light housings, the two T5's, three extra engines listed above and much much more. The buyer would be responsible for the shipping of the vehicle and the extra parts if the parts were wanted and the sale reaches one thousand, you can let me know if you want just the car or both parts and car.. vehicle is Sold As Is. if you have and questions or want more photos feel free to ask/email away. This car would make a great restore candidate or you could part it out and sell all the extra parts to make money, a good amount of cash can be accumulated if you were to sell all these extras, just have to find the time. I'm not looking to get a lot, RESERVE IS LOW so bid away. i will assist in any way i can for the shipping of the car the EXTRA parts Will Only Be Included If The Sale Reaches Over One Thousand Dollars. just be aware the winner of the auction is responsible for the payment of the shipping.
