CAR COLLECTION LIQUIDATION / GARAGE SALE! * WE ARE SELLING A LARGE 20+ YEAR COLLECTION OF INTERESTING PROJECT CARS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS! * KEEP AN EYE ON OUR AUCTIONS FOR SOME GREAT LOW RESERVE & NO RESERVE DEALS! * THE NEXT ONE UP FOR BID: A REALLY COOL CAR! 1973 DATSUN 240Z ROADSTER CONVERSION THIS WOULD BE A FUN CAR TO RESTORE, OR MAKE A REALLY COOL TOY!! ALTHOUGH IT HAS BEEN SITTING IN STORAGE A LONG TIME, WE PUT A BATTERY IN IT & IT CRANKS RIGHT OVER & RUNS GOOD. BUT IT WILL NEED A NEW FUEL PUMP, ALL NEW CAP, ROTOR, PLUGS & WIRES, BUT WITH SOME ODDS & ENDS MAINTENANCE & TLC, IT WILL MAKE A FUN CAR TO DRIVE WHILE YOU RESTORE. FYI: TO BE CLEAR, THIS CAR IS A ROADSTER, NOT A CONVERTIBLE. THAT MEANS IT HAS NO TOP CURRENTLY. IF YOU WANT TO MAKE IT A CONVERTIBLE, MOST OF THEM SEEM TO USE TRIUMPH TR-7 CONVERTIBLE PARTS. WE HAVE A TR7 CONVERTIBLE THE WE COULD SELL TOP PARTS OFF OF IF THE BUYER DESIRES. THE FRONT END LOOKS NICE & STRAIGHT. WE'VE LOOKED IT OVER PRETTY THOROUGHLY & IT IS OVERALL VERY SOLID. WE HAVE FOUND THERE ARE SEVERAL AREAS UNDERNEATH THE CAR. MAINLY SPOTS ON THE FLOORBOARD, THAT HAVE SOME RUSTED AREAS THAT WILL NEED TO BE TREATED & REPAIRED. THESE AREAS WILL BE EZ TO ACCESS & REPAIR FOR ANYONE WHOSE EXPERIENCED WITH SUCH REPAIRS. OR IF YOU PREFER, YOU CAN JUST BUY A COMPLETE FLOOR PAN REPLACEMENT KIT WHICH WOULD TAKE CARE OF MOST OF THE AREAS, THROUGH MANY DIFFERENT SOURCES. HERE'S ONE FOR $349 THROUGH THIS SITE: http://www.showcars-bodyparts.com/240z.html THE ONLY AREA ABOVE THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR THAT WE FOUND THAT NEEDS RUST REPAIR WAS A SPOT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR CORNER OF THE ROCKER PANEL. (SEE PIC BELOW.) WE HAVE AN ESTIMATE OF $120 TO CLEAN THIS SPOT UP, TREAT IT & WELD IN A PIECE OF METAL & PUT IT INTO PRIMER. OTHERWISE, HERE ARE THE PARTICULARS: VIN: HLS30-120592 ODOMETER READING: 22469 LIKE ALL OF OUR VEHICLES 10 YEARS & OLDER IT IS BEING SOLD AS: TRUE MILES UNKNOWN. SOLD AS: MILES EXEMPT. WHOEVER BUILT THIS DID A NICE JOB. IT HAS SERIOUS STRUCTURAL REINFORCEMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN WELDED IN PLACE. THE DOOR GAPS ARE NICE & DO NOT SAG. THE FRAME IS OBVIOUSLY SOLID. THE TIRES HOLD AIR, BUT THAT'S ABOUT ALL I CAN SAY IN THEIR FAVOR. IT NEEDS NEW ONES. THE RIMS LOOK DECENT, BUT THIS CAR REALLY DESERVES SOMETHING REALLY NICE! HAS REALLY NICE BODY LINES! THE WAY THEY CRAFTED THE TAIL SECTION ALSO LOOKS REALLY NICE. MONZA STYLE MUFFLER. THE PAINT IS NOT IN GREAT SHAPE. IT REALLY WILL NEED SOME BODYWORK CLEANUP. BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE TOO HARD FOR ANYONE WHO IS EXPERIENCED TO CLEAN IT RIGHT UP. INTERIOR: DASH HAS TYPICAL CRACKS & WOULD LOOK BETTER WITH A DASH CAP, BUT IT'S NOT TOO BAD. GAUGES & CENTER CONSOLE ARE NICE. CARPETING NEEDS REPLACED. SEATS ARE IN NICE SHAPE, BUT I WOULD GO WITH THE STOCK Z CAR SEATS. DRIVER'S DOOR PANEL IS IN GOOD SHAPE. BUT IS MISSING THE ARM REST & THE WINDOW / REGULATOR. EZ TO FIND PARTS ON ANY EARLY Z CAR. PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR PANEL LOOKS GREAT. VIEW OF PASSENGER FRONT. FACTORY Z ENGINE RUNS GOOD, BUT WILL NEED A FUEL PUMP, ETC. TO BE A DRIVER. IF YOU NEED TO GET IT RUNNING TO SAVE THE "NON OP" FEE FOR A TRANSPORT, WE CAN GO AHEAD & GET IT RUNNING FOR THE BUYER FOR OUR COST TO COVER PARTS & LABOR. IT WON'T TAKE MUCH & WOULD PROBABLY SAVE YOU AT LEAST THAT ON THE "NON OP" FEE THAT MOST TRANSPORTERS CHARGE, OR WE CAN CERTAINLY HELP LOAD IT FOR NO CHARGE. ANY OTHER WORK YOU MAY WANT IS ALL AVAILABLE THROUGH US AT OUR WHOLESALE COST. MECHANICAL: SIZE: 2400cc TRANSMISSION: TYPE: MANUAL BRAKES SHOULD BE CHECKED JUST TO BE SAFE. STEERING CONDITION: SEEMS NICE & SMOOTH. NICE CAR WITH LOADS OF POTENTIAL TO BE A REAL HEAD TURNER. EVEN JUST SITTING AT OUR SHOP WE MUST HAVE HAD 2 OR 3 PEOPLE A DAY STOPPING AND ASKING US ABOUT IT.
