Administrators gav240z 3,005 Posted August 2, 2022 Administrators 1971 Datsun 240z - Manual Listed August 2022. $35,000 Mile End, South Australia, Australia 1971 Datsun 240z HS30-00793 https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/mile-end/cars-vans-utes/1971-datsun-240z-manual/1299149089 This early model 240z was a project purchased from WA approx 6 years ago and has been dry stored ever since. With its previous WA owner it was a similar story and was laid up for many years before being sold. History before that is unknown and previous WA registration documents will be included with the sale. The car has never been registered in SA. The car appears to be very original and accident free with very straight radiator support panel and no evidence of accident damage anywhere around the car. Some rust spots either exist or have been repaired badly in the past - see photos - notably the doglegs showing poor quality repairs and the rear of both chassis rails are rusty and in need of repair. Other typical trouble spots appear to be in good repair but having owned these cars previously there are likely hidden spots that present themselves upon tear down. This 240z was originally 903 Blue and still runs an L24 with twin carbs (not the matching engine) and a 5 speed manual gearbox. The diff is believed to have been upgraded from an r180 to an r200. The car starts and idles but not very well, and is missing its muffler. The car is mostly complete with original parts (seats, steering wheel, centre console, complete interior etc that are all often swapped out over the years) and would make an excellent project - unfortunately other cars have taken priority and the sale will fund progress on those projects. Any inspection welcomed and recommended - based in the inner west of Adelaide. Interstate buyers welcome and happy to assist with transport arrangements etc
