Here is a video of the car: http://youtu.be/j1sXRDgK6gw 1971 Datsun 240z. Actual Mileage of body or engine is unknown. Clean and clear MO title in my name. I beleive this car was manufactured in June of 1971. This car was built by me and my step father as a project. The car was first acquired by us in a package deal of cars, and this car was just a shell of a car, with nice suspension, and a clean looking 280z engine in it.I spent several (about 7 years) on this project. I spent alot of time dealing with rust and using alot of POR15 onthe frame and interior and front wheel wells. The car was painted in 2010, and I spent the winter of 2010, until mayof 2011 re-assembling the car. In may of 2012 I had the car in the body shop again to repair a crack on the bottom lip of the fiberglass front air dam. I also had them fit a replacement panel on the hatch deck lid, andrepaint the hood which I was unsatisfied with, and blend in the doors.... basically, just shy of a total repaint. The car is very well built. I don’t really want to sell it, but I just bought an old building that I am working on renovating as my studio and living space, so some toys need to go. I put a lot of work, time and money into thiscar and it draws looks and comments everywhere it goes. I have a box full of extra parts, and a box full of receipts and documents from the work. Engine: I have not done anything to the motor, besides a tune up. It has a 280z Engine with a 5 speed transmission. It does have an upgraded MSA alternator. Motor runs great, does not burn oil. Carbs: Carbs have been recently rebuilt, but could use a tune from someone who knows these carbs. It has the round top SU carbs. Has pod air filters on it currently. Fuel system: The gas tank was removed and professionally cleaned. A new rubber fuel filler neck was installed. New red line Holley electric fuel pump installed. Manual choke works. Brakes: New front rotors, and rebuilt calipers with no squeel-ceramic brake pads. Rear brakes have new brake drums and brake cylinders. All new brake hardware, except the metal line under the frame. New brake master cylinder. Recently, the drivers side rear brake has developed a small leak, after sitting for a while. Lights: New front and rear running lights. HID front headlights with the upgraded wiring harness from MSA. 2 Fog lights mounted in the front air dam, on a switch. I do not have the interior dome light installed. The lights in the dash work, but are dim. New battery. Wheels: Aluminum wheels are in good shape, no major dings, bends or gouges. The tires are all new and matching. Interior: Vintage leather upholstered seats are in great shape. New front and rear carpets. New black diamond interior vinyl. Headliner was done in black vinyl by an upholstery shop. Looks great. The dash has some cracks, but I will include a plastic dash cap from Black Dragon, which I have not installed because I was going to have the door panels and dash upholstered to match the headliner. Weather stripping is new. New aircraft release style seat belts. Car does not have sun visors installed currently, because of the sunroof. All of the plastic is in great shape. New glove box installed. There is no dome light currently installed and the trim knobs have not been put back the heater controls as I was planning on pulling the dash again to be upholstered and have the issues with the dim lights behind the gauges taken care of... haven't gotten to that yet. Body: The body has been professionally painted. The rear of the car and the doors and hood were repainted and blended in May of 2012, and they did a great job. Both front fenders are new. A replacement panel was fitted under the hatch where these cars usually rust out. Looks clean and is well done. There are no scratches or dings. The body and paint on this car is great. Paint is a single stage silver Saab color. Car was painted apart. Door jams are painted. New locks in the doors. New weatherstripping. All major rust spots were taken care of. Floor boards are solid. New rear wheel wells were fitted as well as the panels under the door. A couple of years were spent on the body work of this car. The front fender badges are new, the hood and hatch emblems have been shaved, and the pillar badges are vintage, and not in show condition. I used a lot of Dynamat sound deadening material on the interior of the car. The dash console is in good shape. Original ashtray is there. Heater console face is in great shape, But i do not currently have the heater hooked up completely as I was going to take the dash out again at some point to reupholster it and get the dash lights bright again. Front Air dam is an MSA Type III. This 240z does feature an aftermarket sunroof. The sunroof did open, but began sticking so I haven’t opened it. There is a place in Kansas City that can install a new one for $599. Suspension: Car still has the standard shocks that were on it. New tie bar ends have been installed. Exhaust: Car has a performance stainless coated exhaust header, and a new custom exhaust which was installed by KC Brake & Muffler, and sounds great. Please contact me with any questions.
