For Sale is my very early and collectable Series I Datsun 240Z. It is one of the first 4500 Z cars ever manufactured. It has a clear California title and current registration valid until October 2012. I purchased this car a couple of years ago for $4,000.00. The original engine did not have matching numbers and was tired so I had installed a new Rebello 3.0 liter racing engine at a cost of $6500.00 + $2,000.00 for installation. At the same time, I added a Champion 3 core polished aluminum radiator, 10 Lb. Fidanza Aluminum flywheel, new clutch, rare custom polished Euro balance tube, polished intakes, polished valve cover, velocity stacks (air horns), new hoses installed, chromed throttle linkage, polished thermostat housing, Chromed alternator bracket, Cad plated fan pulley, and many other nice touches. I also had professionally installed a rebuilt 5 speed from Datsun Parts LLC. I replaced the mustache bar bushings with polyurethane ones and powder coated the mustache bar and transmission plate. I replaced the passenger side door weatherstripping and the rear hatch weatherstripping. I have a new driver's side precision door weatherstripping but it has not been installed. The car has a Pertronix electronic ignition so there are no points to change.I've put about 300 miles on this car since the Rebello engine was installed 2 years ago. I do not know how many miles are on the chassis, but it is mostly free of rust and is kept in dry storage. The one exception is under the battery where there is surface rust and one hole about the size of a quarter. There is also some bubbling under the rear hatch, but it looks stabilized and was perhaps treated when the car was last painted. The colour is now OEM 113 green metallic, but the car was originally painted 907 red. The seats are in good shape without tears and the door panels are also nice. Overall the interior is in good shape. All gauges work except the clock. The interior dome light works as well. Floor pans look to be in pretty good shape as is the spare tire area. The frame rails are straight on this car and it has mostly original panels with the exception of the driver's side fender which was recently replaced with a new OEM one due to someone backing into it while the car was parked. The body shop did a reasonable job at matching the paint, but it is not perfect.Tires are Kuhmo Ecstas on 15" aluminum mag rims. The tires are 195 50 R15 82HTires are in good shape with still plenty of tread. Included OEM parts are a brand new drivers side OEM mirror, new heater hoses, New Y pipeNew aftermarket parts include new heater core.used parts include Sony 52W x 4 XPLOD XM ready CDX CA710X CD player with remote in good working order.NOTE THAT there appears to be a leak in the header and it may need repair or replacement. I have also noted that a fuel vent line may be leaking. If filled all the way up, it leaks, but otherwise okay. Replacement fuel filler hose and vent hose included in sale.Excellent condition OEM service manuals included!Dif is an R180 as far as I know.Please do not bid if you do not have the funds in place to complete the transaction! This is a fantastic deal to someone who knows about Rebello engines as my reserve price is less than the cost of the engine alone meaning this rare early series I Z car is practically free!More than $14,000.00 invested! Original receipts for engine and dyno specs included in sale! Engine sounds and runs excellent and has been treated well since installation. This engine has been dynoed by Rebello Racing at 240 HP with stock SU hitachi carbs. My loss is your gain! I am selling because I recently became a father and no longer have time for this hobby. I have been a 26 year Datsun Z series collector and have 100% positive feedback on EBAY.Vehicle is also for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early if it sells to a local buyerVehicle has been lowered.
