For sale is my rare 1969 240z only 543 were made in 69 for the 1970 model,its titled as first registered 1970 but is a 69,these do not come up for sale very often. Has California clear title Very solid body and floors,comes with an uncracked dash,new corberu racing seats and various other parts,appears to have no accidents or hits,hasnt ran in few years but all complete,I bought with intention to use a vintage track car as its a 69 its allowed in whereas 1970 models are not,but Ive just bought a new home so sacrifices have to be made,its for sale locally so may be withdrawn from sale at anytime,its stored at a shippers warehouse where I was going to ship it from so can be exported at buyers expense about $1500 to Europe. Here is an extract from a 240z web forum discussing the 69 240z.. As far as I can tell about 99% of the Low VIN Datsun 240Z's - HLS30's were sold in the North American Market. Generally among Collectors -the term "Low VIN" is used to describe the 240Z's produced in Calendar Year 1969. As I recall that was about 543 units - the first 12 of which were not released for public sale. Out side of the serious collector market - Low VIN is relative.. might mean 1300 or 2000 to some. Why are the really low VIN's more valuable than later production cars in like condition? For one reason - some Vintage/Historic Race sanctioning bodies make a cut off date for cars produced before 1970. {many people think that was done in an effort to prevent the Z's from competing against the earlier Prosche 911 and Triumph TR-6's etc - because the 240Z's beat them too often}. So if you want to go Vintage/Historic Racing in those circles - you have to find a Z with a product date in 1969. There is a pretty limited number of them still in existence... so higher prices for them. Simple supply and demand. Another reason - is that serious collectors that know a lot about the Datsun 240Z's, recognize that the 69 and very early 70 {Jan/Feb} cars have a lot of detail parts that are unique to them. That adds interesting details that are rare and more fun to own. Some of these items are pieces or symbols of the cars history - which can add to interesting discussions about the car when shown. For example - the 240Z Emblems and DATSUN Script on very early production cars.. #13 through..??? we don't know exactly when... were solid cast pot-metal/chromed parts.. which were actually pre-production prototypes. Cast in very limited numbers to gain approval for full production runs... then hollow core pot metal/chromed parts were produced. In both cases the "Z" on these emblems is flat chrome. On later production cars the "Z" was cast with a raised outline - the painted white inside the raised outline. So having a very early VIN with the original prototype emblems adds historic interest to the car for serious enthusiasts. There are several other items on the very early cars that are exclusive to them and which all add to the historic interest of the car. Another reason - the 69 production cars are a known limited quantity. There were something less than 530 of them produced. So far to this date only 175 have been found to still be in existence - many of which are beyond reasonable financial restoration, some are merely rusted shells... Nonetheless the one's that remain are rare and desirable - the two factors that push values up on all Classic/Collectible and Special Interest cars."
