Datsun 240Z. Want.
I can haz? '73 Datsun 240Z. Sitting about a block away from my apartment. $6200 obo. 90k original miles. Looks like it's in pretty good shape outside, inside too. It's an auto(bleh) but it's such a sweet little ride! Experiences? Comments? Who's owned one? Oh yeah, this car is 8 years older than me.

Remove I6, place LS1+T56, Profit!
When I have the money and space I will be doing this. It's been a dream since I was 10. |

Is there a reason the rear axle looks tweaked pushing the rear tire forward?

Ive been eye balling those for awhile now. Rust is a major problem on most. My biology teacher in high school had one in white, such a nice car. I don't have a garage to put one in though

Eh, I once bought a dream car yet the crux of it all was that it was auto.... and I regret it.
There are plenty others out there, just keep on looking. |

$6200? HA, there's a **** ton around here in AZ that just need paint jobs, half of them have all ready been through the salvage yards and crushed. I sold a manual that ran for $500 no title.
I would pay $6200 for one with a swapped drivetrain, you could buy one for $1000 and spend $5200 on making it a new car with whatever drivetrain you wanted. |

On a hunch, i seached for and found the craigslist post for it. Not much more info. But its such a good looking car...this one or any one. Classic, well proportioned, sleek, I've never seen one up close, and now i've got a car crush.

My next project car will probably be a 240z or 280z. Such a timeless design, such great lines. IMO a deep front air dam and fender flares are a MUST, they look so badass like that.
I'm thinking V8 swap, or maybe see how far the I6 can be pushed with intake/header-back exhaust/cams/head work/(maybe ITBs?)... Or maybe swap in a modified 280ZX Turbo or 300ZX Turbo powerplant to keep it in the family. So many options! |

AZ is one of the best places to buy them...and home to the largest S30 Z parts yard in the world. Else where they are getting far to rare.
I just RESOLD mine about 4 months ago to a guy in PA. |

I've got a friend here at work with a '77 280Z in pretty good original condition he's selling for $2750.
I'm guessing Reno is a bit further away than you'd be interested in shopping, but PM and I can get you some contact info. |

I might be buying a '72 240z in parts for $1500 soon. It has the 280z I-6 too. I haven't taken a look at it yet but I would love a new project, these are such awesome cars. mh_wrx, that green is amazing
OP, avoid the automatic, you'll regret it. That seems like a lot of money for that as well. I'm not sure though based on your location. I know around here they're not so easy to find for cheap just like every other classic car. Too much rusted up junk here. |
