Offered for sale is an outstanding example of the iconic Japanese sports car that is the 240Z. This Z was sold new in Bakersfield, CA to a man that bought the car for his wife. They owned the car for nearly 40 years until they reluctantly sold it as it wasn't driven anymore. It was always kept in the garage. The very rare, crack free original dash along with the condition of the rest of the car speaks to this. Nearly everything on the car is original including the numbers matching motor and all the functioning smog equipment. It was repainted once in the late 70's but looks as if it were done recently. It has never been hit or taken apart, all the body lines and gaps are crisp and correct. It also avoided ever getting the popular dealer installed door bumper guards. All factory rubber and weather-strip is still flexible and nice. Glass is also all original and crystal clear. Recently it has been inspected for safety and found to still be using Sumitomo front brake pads, which are believed to be only installed at the factory, this along with pedal wear and overall condition makes the 37k on the odometer believable as actual mileage. However there is no documentation to verify this so the odometer may have rolled over once. The pads are still safe so they remain, though it did receive fresh oil, plugs, new water pump, drive belts, and filters. The factory A/C has also been recharged and works! Tires are Michelin X with like new tread. Also instead of points it now has an electronic pickup for reliability. It did receive new exhaust as well which is louder than the stock can and makes the exhaust note sound fantastic. I would love to keep the car but must let it go to a new owner, who will I hope, care for it as I have. Since I've owned it has been kept in the garage and to keep it rust free have never used water to wash it, only careful waterless cleaning. Overall, it is a turn key car that is fully functional and a pleasure to drive. It feels like driving a new car, it's nice and tight and performs as it should. If you're looking for a fun to drive classic that will only go up in value, you needn't look any further. *More pictures are available, if seriously interested please email.
