If you have any questions feel free to contact me after reading the prompt below. More images are available on request Car is sold as is with a clean title in my name Posted is a 1972 Datsun 240z. The vehicle was originally bought at a Wichita, Kansas dealership in 1972 and has remained a Kansas car ever since. I am the 3rd owner of this vehicle. Before my possession the car had been sitting in an air conditioned garage for over 20 years and had only been driven 100 miles during that time period. It has continued to spend most of its time in a garage when not in use. Many features on this car have been maintained and many other have been modified with period correct parts. Many Receipts and documentation going back to 1972, since it was purchased from the dealership, will be included. This 240z currently has 76,800 documented miles on the body and is a running and driving car. The motor, which was switched to a later model l-26, to meet my power goals, has been rebuilt and modified and has just finished its break in at 1000 miles. Prior to my ownership the car had gone through a professional repaint in Datsun 918 orange and some previous body work had been done to repair the floor boards.The car performs fantastically and was mainly used as my weekend vehicle but has also seen regular driving so it is reliable enough to make a good daily driver. No significant rust is visible on the car. 1.) Engine: Has been gone through and shows well. Starts, runs, and idles great. Hooked up to a 5 speed manual with no play and shifts smooth . Engine bay appears to show a little wear in some areas on the paint which is understandable after 45 years. Valve cover and velocity stacks polished and shining. Weber carburetors tuned for spring and run good but may need to be readjusted for the winter. l26 (p30 block, e88 head) 10.5:1 high compression motor with 1000 miles 79 280zx close ratio 5 speed Flat top pistons Mild competition cam (270 duration)Minor Head work and completely new hardware kit (valves, spring,...etc)40 dcoe triple webers (velocity stacks and filters included)Mallory distributor Electric fuel pumpAluminium radiatorMSA twice pipesMSA headers Stainless hosesNew coilChrome valve cover Billet aluminum oil, brake master coversHigh flow l28et turbo oil pumpl28et turbo fanl28et clutch and flywheel(components and labor add up to over $9000) 2.)
