This is my 1974(early) 260Z Sorry about ending the auction and relisting but i forgot to set a reasonable reserve price, someone bid on the aution after 1 min of me adding it, i had to add the reserve and relist.This car is for sale locally, and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time This vehicle was manufactured in 1974, as such, it is impossible to describe every scratch small dent, chip ect that exists on the car. There is not enough time in the day for me to describe the entire story of the car or describe every inch of the car.Please come see the car in person, or call me, and I can text you a picture of ANY location on the car. The vehicle is sold as is-where is. No warranty is implied or expressed or given.Shipping arrangements and cost is (are) the responsibility of the buyer. I will help load the vehicle by being home to supervise the lading and securing it on whatever shipping service/method you arrange.I am (will) not be responsible for any shipping delays, damage, problems etc. Once this vehicle leaves my possession it’s the buyer’s responsibility. So please insure it against loss.I can hold the vehicle for 30 days! At no cost to the Buyer! That’s a deal!However I must receive payment first.Paypal Only. No checks please.Odomoter says 51982Probably 151982 actual mileageI have owned this vehicle for 13 years. Lots to tell about this car and a lot of spare parts come withit. Way too much to type here or explain with a few photos. Bottom line on this car is; one small rust bubble on the rocker and (lower)driver fender. A small rust bubble starting on the pass rocker side. Doors have no rust.Underside of car shows small amount of surface rust on the exposed stone chips ect but NOT SERIOUS AT ALL- original floors, no welded patch panels any where. No hokey fake rust repair or dollar store undercoating meant to disguise rust. _ a true survivor type car. Check out the original spotwelds on the rear wheel wells. Solid body. Texas car stored in a heated garage for last 13 years. Rebuilt engine will (some small amount) need tuning, depending on your altitude above sea level. right now it, is jetted 135 primary, 140 secondary with 55 idle jets, float level has been set at 41-51mm travel …….its running a touch lean….but the summer is on the way ,so a bit lean is good for 40 degrees weather we had today.( have add’l jets that come with the car) Dgv carbs. I have all jets necessary for tweaking . Vehicle is Solid as a rock. One respray since new. Needs paint. As you can see their is primer on the pass side lower fender., this is not a rust repair, it is just a test area to see if I liked the orange paint I picked for the car, stripped off old enamel and primed over never got time to respray the car , also youll notice the cowl panel is not original.Has new (tokico)shocks, springs in the front .Poly bushings too. Have springs and shocks for back.(but they are not installed yet. They of course come with the car along with SS brake hoses.)Rear quarters are rust free. Still have original spot welds. Floor is same. This car is rarely seen in this condition. Period. I have been working on these cars for 15 years and have never seen one in the same condition ,If you have been searching for a rock solid Z this may be it.91 octane only, head has been “shaved” .009…runs smooooooth on 91 octane, I have never tried 87 octane in the car, and don’t plan on it. I calculate compression around 9.5 :1, has oversize pistons and new fresh valve springs, valve seals and guides. I setup the valvetrain personally using the proper method for adjusting wipe pattern on the lash pads ect……Good 5 angle valve job.I would prefer that you come and see for yourself. Also give me a call for all the info. We can talk for an hour. I know a lot about z cars, and can help with additional pictures of anything you want to see. I have new thresholds door handles and quarter emblems that are included. Sorry but way to much to list. 7169559893 Aaron.(send a text if you want to request a specific picture, or if your shy and just don’t want to talk) Thanks for looking Received a few questions about the car. I am selling because I've been traveling for work a lot. In the last 5 years I have been away from home over 3 summers. The car has never seen a winter since I have owned it starting in 1999, so I have been unable to use the car since 2007. In 2007 it ran like a dream. But I needed to give it some TLC over the winters so, In 2009 I rebuilt the carbs changed to, the eletric fuel pump, and pressure regulator. Currently running 3PSI with a return loop fuel line.It starts and runs fine. I just recently adjusted the valve clearance, and installed new rocker arm springs, for that “like new “valve train sound. The car has a Monza header and exhaust system and is a blast to drive. Can start right up and load on your trailer ect. 5 speed trans out of a 280z. New front ball joints and tie rod ends(genuine MOOG) and superperformance urethane bushings in the front So will need and alignment before driving. Needs 4 tires also. Have all parts. but front bumper is a little dented and ugly Have a other good condition rear bumper with an over rider comes with it. Front skirt is great shape and is inside the cabin also included is NOS genuine Nissan threshold plates, door handles and “z” quarter emblems for that finished look after you get it painted.Only reason I'm selling is I expect to travel this summer as well. I probably will not ever get a chance to enjoy the car. I have an extensive spare parts cash that’s comes with it. Oh I also have a NOS seat cover for the pass seat ,which has a small tear.The car does not include a battery. That is the battery for my boat, Im just using it for now.the e-brake funtions as it should, brakes feel a little soft but def ok to drive, but this car has been in storage for at least 6 years so please check everything out before you decide to drive it cross-country.also rear hatch lock will need to be replaced.On Apr-13-13 at 16:41:00 PDT, seller added the following information: Hi, Been recieving alot of questions about the "frame rails" of the car. this is a unit body car so it does not have a "frame" so to speak, it does have a factory welded boxed frame extension that cradles the engine,.in response to this question, i have taken pictures of these forward rails from underneath the car. text me for them. also the rest of the car has, no rust repair, no floor rust, no rot , so i guess the answer is that the car is solid. under the car where stone chips accumulate behind the wheels ect it does have small amounts of surface rust but i stress "surface" these are the areas where the 35year old undercoating flaked off and is beaten up by the wind while driving. i have never driven this car in the winter or stored it outside since i have owned it. these cars typically have alot of rot in the battery box area, from accelerated corrosion brought on by battery acid. i have taken a pick of this area also to show the condition of that area. no rust at all. thanks aaron also I am working overnight this week, so if you send a text there will be a delay in my response On Apr-14-13 at 12:53:00 PDT, seller added the following information: hi, if you need add'l pictures but your cell phone dosent support pictures ,send me an email at aaroncerny@hotmail.com and I can email you pictures of any area of the car that you would like,. On Apr-18-13 at 16:06:08 PDT, seller added the following information: OK, no more test drives as today, during a test drive the car sustained a small windshield chip. I understand the need to drive the car, but my driveway is 200ft long and we'll have to use that for it. please text or email me for a picture of the small chip. very minor, that chip repair stuff should fix it. ive been answering alot of questions about the car, thats good! but not many people have requested any other pictures of the car. remember this is an auction, so if you win the auction, you bought the car! bid according to that fact(please). sorry to be so direct, but i have been answering alot of calls and answering questions like "if i drive it home and i have problems, will you give me half my money back?" or " after I win the auction, my cousin in san fernando is going to inspect it and he'l tell you what its worth" the answer to these questions is(are) "NO", and have your cousin in san fernando come out to my house before the auction and share his opinion before you bid, please. I have tried my best to describe the car and make myself available to answer special questions and send pictures of the car. its 40 years old.! it needs a paint job, paint jobs include filling small dents and scratches that accumulate on 40 year old cars. im going to be blunt here......the terms of the auction are clearly stated, this car is 40 years old and as such will require routine maintainence/ repairs and I cannot(will not) guarentee that you will never have any problems with it. by winning the auction you are buying the car as -is where-is and you assume the responsibility for your decision to purchase it......whew! sorry again to be so direct. one more thing, this may hurt some peoples feelings out there........ I have been a mechanic since the age of 18. tinkered with cars for a few years before that. I have met alot of people in my life and consider myself a good judge of temperment........ if you are not mechanically inclined, or do not have a desire to learn to be, then you should avoid old cars with carburetors like the plague. this car has two carbs, they are currently synchronized but,as with any car, will require tuning and adjustment eventually. Also I will not be available to help diagnose whatever problems arise with this car 5 years down the road. I am not trying to hide any problems, the car is available for inspection at any time and I have offered to send additional pictures of the car. ok if I hurt anyones feelings out there im sorry. But lets be adults here, I'm not asking anything, from anybody that I dont expect from myself. if anyone wants to cancel their bid right now thats ok. i just want the buyer to be happy. there is less that 24hrs left in the auction. if you send a request for pictures I will try my best to get them to you ASAP.
