Location: Adelaide - Inner South

 

Item Condition: Good

 

Body: Very little rust. Small patch of surface rust on front bumper. very minor surface rust under battery tray.

 

Mechanical: Running an L26 with twin SU's. Car is used as a daily and has had a tune recently. Running well with no mechanical issues, apart from "needing" an electronic point distributor - currently running the old type found on early L26's, which is not particularly efficient.

Registration: Registered in South Australia until 24 October

 

Engineers Certificate: N/A

 

Extra Info: Reasonably original, unrestored 1973 240z. 260z wheels, L26, mx5 seats and aftermarket steering wheel are only mods. Interior in good condition with 3 small cracks in the dash and 1 crack in the centre console. Body is in good condition and has extremely minimal rust. Great to restore or as a daily (current disposition). Selling due to new job needing a modern car that portrays a more professional image and cannot afford to keep the zed.

 

Pictures: See below

 

Contact Details: James on 0403527398 at any reasonable hour. I have a short stay in hospital for a knee operation tomorrow so please leave a message, I will return your call asap.

Looks like a nice 240.

Can you please post up some more detailed pics at your earliest convenience? And is it an Auto or Manual?

First post edited - 5 speed manual - sorry. Will get interior and engine bay pics up asap, took these this afternoon after work and was getting too dark for interior etc

Does it have matching numbers?

Nope. You will be hard pressed to find a 240 with an L26 with matching numbers

Good luck with the sale.

I completely agree! Unfortunately, many potential clients will not

 

 

Oh and the front and rear number plates match - cant believe i didn't mention it previously!

Interior and engine bay pics. Thanks for the comments too...

Opps Doh!  My bad.  I thought I read it as L24.

 

Note to self "open eyes more".

Price drop to $14,000

 

Car is now on carsales.

Though it isnt hugely consequential - Included in the sale will be two dba 600 discs (for an intended rear brake conversion that never happened) a laminated wiring map and 4 manual/instructional books for the L series motor, restoring a Z car, improving and tuning an L series motor and a reproduction of a factory manual for the car.

 

I didnt note this in my original post but considering someone may be considering the car as a daily - i have installed a pioneer head unit (plays mp3 CD's, no audio jack) and brand new sony xplod 6 inch speakers in the rear. By no means an elaborate setup but better than a radio and tape deck

[cracker]

Registration expires 18 June this year and as a result I will drop the price to $13,500 until then, in the hope to avoid having to re-register the car. Given that 3 months rego is $180 odd I think this is reasonable

[cracker]

Price drop to $13,000. No longer registered but will be registered prior to sale if the buyer wishes.

[cracker]

Just registered until 24 October.
