I doubt it's a "January built 1970" car. HS30 00051 is likely to be a June build 240z, HS30 0004 seems to be a possible April build car. HS30 0003 might have been built in 1969... we don't know for sure as nobody has seen it.

I was adding my comment about the January 1970 claim as you were typing. :)

Complete vehicle in pieces - project that I don’t have time for any more.

1974 model Datsun 260z 2 seater.
All components to complete the vehicle are here except exhaust and carnies.

Listing includes
- proof of my ownership and VIN plates 
- Soda blasted body shell treated in kefoss coating to guard against rust. Chassis professionally straightened as part of refurbishment.
- brand new door skins and sofa blasted door shells
- brand new floors
- brand new chassis rail sections
- refurbished front inner guards
- refurbished outer front guards with headlight cones

- All panels were carefully picked apart at the spot welds for easy reassembly.

- 2.9l (stroked) L28 motor with waggot stage c can and 5 speed close ratio gearbox.
- L200 long nose LSD differential
- tokiko illumina struts with lowered springs
- upgrades front brakes and disc conversion rear brakes
- sears and interior plastics including crack free dash board
- konig rewind 16” wheels
- all glass except windscreen, glass rubbers included

Pretty much everything needed to put this together is here, your chance to pick up a project that I couldn’t finish, one of the rare classics.

Rough 2+2 (TURBO) non intercooled...

https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/humpty-doo/cars-vans-utes/datsun-260z/1214697733

Compliance plate has been messed with. Looks like a 74 model, not a later 78 model. (based on chassis no. and fresh air ducts in rad support).

Could be a good car to take further with intercooler, upgraded modern turbo and ECU.

 

PS: I thought Humty Doo was a joke (location) but turns out it's a real place. I'd probably nickname this car Humphrey Bear, it's a big brown 2+2 and I loved that Bear as a kid. :)

Should definitely be 74. I have photos of GRS30-000667 and that has a build date of 7/74, and that date is positioned where it has been scratched on the compliance plate.

P.S. Humphrey Bear was a pretty cool bear!

HS30 00034 and HS30 00035 were imported into the UK.

Maybe it's in the 300 range?

HS30 0035X?

Yes - a few problems with the description versus the photos too;

"Datsun 240z 1971 series II  #958" - I've never seen a '71 with '73 front blinkers
"Earlier car with choke and hand throttle" - there is no hand throttle
"Ratty paint but solid body" - the paint looks pretty good
"5-speed manual with L28 engine and 240z carbs" - the car is an auto
"Originally safari gold in colour, currently canary yellow" - it's brown!

HS30 0035X?

Its HS30 00354, I got it. My first Z.

Its fully stripped but rust free, has a cage, extended frame rails and front chassis reinforcement. Used to be a show car with a big 2JZ in it and a wide body, and some questionable details like supra taillights. Last photos of it complete were from 2010 WTAC as far as I know

Saw all these from the same seller on gumtree. Seem really cheap but not the greatest of pics to go by. 

The first 2 are sold. The last 1 is really interesting. It looks like another 904 white with blue interior car, but it's also an early 240z with vents in rear hatch and likely a manual.

I know of 6 cars total that had 904 white exterior and blue interior. Could this be #7?

It says chassis number in the #2xx range. Would be great to confirm what it is and how much he is asking.

If it's in Melbourne I would be tempted to look.

That was my first ever Z car I bought back in the early 90s.. The only early Z I have ever seen with different colour interior.

 

Do you know what the VIN # was?
