I am selling this car for a friend. I will attempt to answer all questions to the best of my ability. In order to get this car in top condition for sale, it has been under the care of a master mechanic who has gone through it from front to back to ensure that it is in great shape. Items below in the “new” category marked with an “*” were replaced by the mechanic. Additionally, he has just rebuilt the carburetor. This car was bought in mid 2012 and a lot of work has gone into it. See below the new items that have been installed. You are bidding on a 1976 Datsun 280Z with a Chevy 5.7L (350c.i.) Vortec engine out of a 2000 truck. The engine had approximately 56,000 miles on it when installed. The transmission is a 700R4 with a shift kit installed and new seals. It works and shifts smoothly and correctly. The Vortec engine and heads are known for flowing extremely well and making lots of reliable horsepower. The original air conditioner was retained and works well. The car was sanded and primed as well as shaved before it was painted with DuPont Chroma base slight metallic blue. The flames are painted using the DuPont Hot Huesline with clear coat overall. All of the glass was removed as well as the seals and rubber which were replaced. The Holley 4 barrel carburetor works well and is easy to work on. As noted, it has been recently rebuilt. The radiator is a stock unit that was re-cored and cools wonderfully in 1000F weather. It has a Taurus 2 speed fan with a temperature regulator that turns the fan on at a preset temperature. Some negatives that you should be able to see from the pictures: · The interior still needs some work. You can see that the driver door is missing the chrome piece but I have that. · There is a place on the right rear corner of the rear hatch that had a little rust when the rear window was pulled. Although it was wire brushed and then treated with a converter, it still shows up when you get real close. · The paint has not adhered correctly on the underside of the hatch. · The headliner is loose (needs to be re-glued) but other than that is quite serviceable Items that have been replaced since 2012: · The exhaust is new · Seat Covers · Fog lights · Wheels (Datsun Z Konig Imagine) · Tires (Nexen N300 215/45 ZR17) · Spoiler · *Flywheel · *Fuel Pump · *Starter · *Ignition switch · Gauges (see picture) $500 deposit from the winning bidder within 48 hours of the end of listing. $250 of this deposit will be returned if you are not satisfied with the car upon inspection. The remainder is non refundable. Balance of payment is due on pick up with either a bank or certified check. The buyer is responsible for all transportation charges.
