Hi All.
HISTORY
-'72 Datsun 240z
-date of manufacture: 9/71
-second owner, bought in Atlanta 2001. The original owner passed and I purchased it from his daughter. The original owner, George, was an airline mechanic with Delta AIrlines. The front bumper has a small Delta sticker which must stay on the car!
-roughly 2000 miles put on the Z since I purchased it.
-have original sales receipt- in photos
SPECS
-Mostly original minus:
- weber dgv carbs put on by original owner. I do not have original SU carbs
- front air dam and headlight scoops-seen in pictures. I do not have original headlights/ scoops
- car was repainted in early 80's. It is the original color.
CONDITION
-The Z runs and drives well. It is not registered or inspected at this time. I put roughly 100 miles on it this Spring.
-The Z burns a small amount of oil. The engine has not been touched. Compression is good and consistent across all cylinders. I am not talking clouds of black smoke, just puffs under heavy throttle.
-The oil and temperature gauges are finicky. When operable, oil psi is about 45 psi at 2000rpm.
-No fluid leaks, no puddles/ stains on garage floor.
-The Z is equipped with air conditioning as a dealer installed option. It is not operable, but compressor does engage.
-The original radio works. I have a replacement power extendable antennae installed. The switch on the radio to raise/lower the antennae is not sending power to antennae as of this Spring, antennae is operable when powered directly.
-I've replaced the brake master cylinder, both rear wheel cylinders, alternator and voltage regulator over the years. That's it.
-I've documented the rot as best I can in pictures. I've bondo'ed in front of both rear tires behind rocker panels. Both front fenders in front of rocker panels have bondo. The hatch area is in good shape. A few bubbled have popped up around fuel fill area.
-The windshield rubber needs replacement.
-The floors are solid.
-The undercarriage is solid.
-The drivetrain is solid, shifts well, no clunks, grinding of any kind.
REASON FOR SELLING
My nights and weekends are consumed coaching youth football, baseball, soccer, and lacrosse. While I wouldn't have it any other way, I just don't have time to take care of this Z I truly love. I've owned Z's since high school. This is far and away my favorite and really really hoped to restore it. She needs a good home. A little TLC and she's good to go. Also a great candidate for restoration. The lime yellow is uncommon and really sharp. Having the original sales receipt and some hand written maintenance logs from George is pretty special.
Thanks for looking and don't hesitate with questions.

Roadkill pits every project car against each other
Sat, 22 Feb 2014The guys behind Motor Trend's monthly Roadkill series have collected nine of their favorite project cars from their videos and pitted them against each other in a battle royale to determine a winner. It's 44 minutes long, but it's completely worth the investment of time.
The cars run the gamut from a 1973 Chevrolet Ramp Truck, a 1975 AMC Pacer and a legitimately impressive 1967 Chevy Camaro, and they are pitted against each other to see which is the fastest around an autocross course. The drivers include Roadkill's two hosts and Motor Trend's Johnny Lieberman and Carlos Lago. It's reminiscent of the best episodes of Top Gear and worth a watch.
So it's the weekend - the perfect time to relax. Grab your preferred beverage, get comfortable and enjoy 44 minutes of some seriously ratty but utterly cool project cars as they are throttled within an inch of their lives (or past it). Scroll down to check out the video.
Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:

This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair
Wed, 12 Nov 2014The Datsun 240Z got a lot of things right when it was introduced, with handsome styling, strong performance and a reasonably affordable price. And while the coupes grew a strong fan base in the US, they remained quite a rarity in the UK. Decades later, a father and son in England have latched onto the car and bonded over their shared love for two completely opposite takes on this Japanese GT
There's already quite a collection of exotics in Mel Streek's garage, and his rat rod 240Z, which he calls the Ratsun, definitely doesn't fit with the rest. On the outside, the Datsun looks ready to fall apart, but it's mechanically perfect underneath. Alternatively, Mel's son, Ollie, has a completely different take for his Z with its perfect, shining paint.
Both Zs sound amazing, though. They have a mechanical, somewhat course exhaust note that's intoxicating to hear. You can definitely tell there's some work going on under the hood. Check out this video from Petrolicious for a father and son who both find something to love in these classic Japanese coupes.
