I purchased this car from the original female owner who bought the car new on May 1, 1972 from San Jose Datsun. I have the original San Jose Datsun New Car Guarantee Certificate, Warranty and Service Book, Hitachi Radio Guide, Datsun Air Conditioning Manual, Datsun 240Z Owners Manual, and Dealer Additional Equipment Sticker. I also have the Original Window Sticker and a copy of the Original Owner Title. The vehicle is currently registered and in my name per California DMV rules.

Mostly original #110 paint on the car with a few areas of re-paint. The rear hatch was dented in a parking lot mishap back in the 1980's. The body shop used a lacquer paint back in the day which is now checking. There was no damage to the taillight panel. This car has a white interior that is in excellent condition for age.

The dash is in good shape with two small cracks. All gauges working ( temp guage works intermittently) as well as electric antenna.

This car still has the original Koito headlights installed.

The headliner is in very good shape as are the door panels. Windows roll up and down.

Air Conditioning is all present but needs compressor re-installed and some R12 added.

The car was parked by the original owner in 2008 and was towed to a shop where it underwent a clean up and mechanical check. The master brake cylinder was replaced along with the front brake calipers and pads. The rear brake cylinders were also replaced along with brake shoes. We replaced the battery and completed a tune up and oil change.

This Z car had been on a California DMV non-op since 2008 and is now currently registered, insured and in my name. I currently have two other Z cars with performance goodies installed on them. This car is much too original and nice to change in any way therefore I am selling it to someone who will appreciate it for the beautiful original survivor that it is.

Feel free to visit my photo bucket page and look through 150 pictures of this car. There are 96 pictures in the album and on the last page there is a link to a sub-album with an additional 54 pictures.

This Z car is about as rust free as any Z car that has not been on a rotisserie. The paint is good for a 40 year old car but it does have the usual scratches and minor dings along the sides and nose.

This is a great example of an early Z car and it will sell with no reserve and at a very low starting price. There is NO buy it now price. I have tried to describe this car in such a way that the buyer will receive a car that is in better condition than described.

Car is sold as is - where is. No warranties expressed or implied.

Yes, after full payment is received, I can store the car for a few weeks for transportation or overseas delivery. I have sold several cars to overseas buyers and am comfortable doing so.

Contact me prior to bidding if you have little or no E-Bay feedback. If not your bid will probably be ignored and cancelled.

Please contact me with any questions or to set up a viewing of the car. Mike 916-764-9759.

Roadkill pits every project car against each other

Sat, 22 Feb 2014

The 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.

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.

37K miles in a 1967 Datsun Roadster

Tue, 11 Mar 2014

When we think of comfy, long-distance road cars, there are a few obvious choices. A Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Bentley Continental GT or, assuming fuel efficiency isn't paramount, a Range Rover are all good options for a road trip. But what if that road trip was 37,000 miles? Maybe something more reliable but still comfortable, then, like a Honda Accord. What about a 1967 Datsun Roadster?
As insane as it sounds, Scott Fisher is doing just that, running a Datsun 1600 Roadster across North America and racking up 13,500 miles in his first three months on the road. His total journey will see him pile over 37,000 miles on his red convertible. The car is lightly modified, but most of the work is for the sake of reliability and comfort, with a five-speed manual 'box, an upgraded radiator and electronic ignition.
Fisher's trip hasn't been all smooth, with a few typical bits of trouble. He also ran into some deer in Utah, quite literally, clipping one of the animals, which delivered quite a bit of damage to the passenger's front fender (hence the rear three-quarter view in our lead shot). Still, the car seems to be holding up well, as shown in this latest video from Petrolicious.
