 Description

1974 Datsun 260Z

 

Collector Condition all Original

 

California car,  Mint Condition, 3 Owners

 

 

This 260Z is a very rare find due to its condition. It has 106k  miles, and has been kept in Original Condition since new. The first 2 owners were in RiversideCalifornia, it then came to Maryland in 2006. It was repainted in 2007. Only maintenance items have been done, otherwise in Mint Original condition, including the original Calif smog gear. Being a California car, it never had any rust, it has all of the original metal, no patches, bondo, or repairs. This car is just the way Datsun made them as new. This has to be one of the nicest examples in the country! Please see the 100 pictures and detailed description of condition.

 

Driving this car reminds you why these became so popular, and this car drives like new. Car is documented with original warranty card, owners manual, and some old service receipts.  

 

There are plenty of beat up and poorly restored ones out there. If you want the best in terms of originality, documentation, and future value, this is the car.

Body and Frame:

 

-No accident damage anywhere, No rust anywhere, No dents, or scratches. Always stored in a heated garage.

-Body seams are laser straight.

-Car has one repaint in 2007, as the original paint had dulled. The paint work is excellent, 8.5 out of 10. No dirt or fisheyes in the paint, very nicely done. There is one “heat blister” in the center of the hood, about 2 inches long, and two ¼ inch ones on the cowl. Tried to photo then but they are very hard to capture. Certainly, these do not detract from the overall appearance of the car, but need mentioning.

-All trim items are excellent, no sun damage on any of the black trim items.

-All glass is nice, new rubber seals installed when painted.

-Original bumpers are straight and in great shape, no dings.
