This vehicle is a rare numbers matching 240Z VIN HLS30- 08551 engine number L24 11638 (original engine that is in the original body) it is non-restored. It is in really good condition for a non-restored vehicle.

This vehicle is in running condition, it will need to either have the hydraulics inspected and repaired as it has not been on the road since 1983 when it was garaged. It does turn over and start, please see video for start up from the link above. It has to the best of my knowledge 102737 original miles as the odometer has just turned over. The body is straight and has no rust problem areas. The underside of the battery tray usually where you find rust first, the unibody is intact and all body panels beneath the car are intact with no rust. There are pictures of the floor boards without the carpet in the Flickr photo set as well as the floor for the spare tire area. These areas have never been restored or painted, the car is as it is pictured. I have personally never seen a 44 year old car in such good condition without restoration. This is a very desirable year and model as it is a first year Z, The Z registry lists a little over 200 of these cars at the current time as survivors. This vehicle is not in the registry at this time. Datsun 240Z History Largest selling sports car in North America Designed in the mid 1960's with head turning style similar to Ferrari 250GT and Jaguar type E Rear wheel drive Independent suspension with 4 Macpherson struts Proven race car (Rally, track and drag) with ample aftermarket performance parts still available. Many parts are plug and play from other Datsuns (transmissions, motors, differentials, brakes, etc.) Used parts are easily sourced and are low in cost Japan's "Mustang" Early Gen 1 Z's are Collectors Car Condition This car can be enjoyed as it is, a true survivor or it would make an extremely easy base for restoration as it has no rust problems. The current paint is to the best of my knowledge originally from the factory. Interior is intact, I have not seen many Z’s in this condition. This is a rarity, especially being a first year series 1 car with all its correct parts. This vehicle would be considered a number 3 car on the Hagerty insurance valuation site. The interior, straight body and rust free condition are the greatest attributes of this car Better resolution photos can be seen here: CLICK HERE FOR HIGH RES PHOTOS I will accept Paypal for a nonrefundable 500.00 dollar deposit due within 48 hrs of auction end remainder of payment must be made via bank wire.
