Car is one family owned and has only lived in California, it was bought new for my sister as a H.S. graduation gift and she had it for 6 years before I took ownership of the car. From 1985 -1991 it was my daily driver. After that it sat covered in storage for about 5 years until I purchased a home and moved it to the garage where it sat another 10 years until 2006, when I decided to start the restoration. So half of its 32 year life has been in storage. I initially had to rebuild the top end (Cylinder Head) due to the valves sticking from sitting to long. Fuel tank was drained twice (not removed/reconditioned) and a Fram G3 filter was add between the tank and fuel pump to address any rust still in tank. A new fuel pump, fuel filter, master and slave cylinder rounded out the process to get it running in tip top shape. I've driven it less than 500 mi. in the last 4 years because I've had some kind of restoration project going on and so it sat until I made time to work on it again. The car has never been in an accident and only has minor dings and a little rust on the rocker panels on both sides of the car. I did have it repainted back in 1985 matching the original color 611. The interior is good condition 8 out of 10. Seats are showing wear and tear at the bottom seat seams and needs to be reupholstered. I currently have a seat cover on the drivers side. Carpet is in fair condition but should be replaced. I replaced the rear area carpet section and the dash has a 1/2 dash cap. The original B.F. Goodrich space saver spare jack, tire tool & the Datsun inflator cannister, are included. All (4) tires are new 195/75-14's.. They are mounted on the original after market wheel's when the car was purchased. The bumper's are very nice, except a small dent in the back bumper. The headliner is in good shape not fallen. All gauges are functional except tachometer which will stick from time to time. The clock still keeps accurate time. All lights are operable including the center dash flip down map light. Original AM/FM radio and cassette player, however, I have a new stereo (Sony) and speaker system that I was about to install, but have yet to do so. It will be included in the purchase. All safety features are operable. (wipers, horn & emergency flashers) Added bonus is the (Hofco) alarm and auto door locking and unlocking system. I replaced the rear hatch outer/side rubbers New battery (10-5-10) Accept only cash or cashiers check The Z will be paid for in full, prior to the car title being released. I’m a private party, not a dealer. Please feel free to call me with any questions or if you are serious about buying the car. Thank you.
