1972 Datsun 240Z $53,000.00 Peakhurst, NSW. Clean original 240Z with 40 years of receipts.

Incar video (not the best quality) from one of the Zeds :

Certainly looks like it is from a 2+2

1976 260Z 2 Seater (AUTO) 1976 Datsun 260Z Coupe $34,500.00 A very good example of a 1976 Datsun 260Z 2 seater auto with factory air conditioning in sterling silver with black interior & matching numbers. STRICTLY NO SCAMMER'S !! !

I missed getting there to see the rally, looks like it would have been challenging road conditions at times :

Any photos of the extractors if they are still available?

Some pics of the Zeds at the WA Z Day :

Yes, the POR-15 seems temperamental of put on too thickly or too soon on top of the first coat (I waited the 3+ hours and did the fingernail test as outlined in the instructions) - hard to stop it accumulating in low points. I see I have some rust on the pedal box - I assume it is due to hydraulic fluid removing the paint?

Cleaned up the areas under the front fenders/mudguards : : removed the remains of the ?foam? rubber along the seam : Minor surface rust, not sure why they did not fill the corner openings hera with seam sealer? : More surface rust : appears they had to use a hammer a couple of time to get the internal frame parts to match up prior to welding!

Wanted to see some improvements so decided to replace the cover on the driver's seat. : Seat foam looked OK other than a small tear on the edge : Off with the old and on with the new. The process of removing the old cover and installing the new on the seat is relatively painless, looking at the seat back I am sure it will be much more difficult!

Continued on with looking for rust, took off the front fenders: : Uncovered more spider habitats. : Some dirt and, : Some surface rust : A lot of dirt in the bottom of the panel : More dirt build up at the bottom of the panel : luckily not too much rust under all of the dirt

Had to evict some of the spiders today, big black "house" spiders as well as a couple of Redbacks on the underside of the bonnet. : Moved onto the the front cowl and uncovered a lot of surface rust. : Then looked at the battery area/support - lots of dirt and again rust underneath but it appears to not be too bad. : Got stuck into it with a wire wheel on a drill and a screw driver to chisel the had to reach areas. Did the Marine Clean - Metal Ready - POR-15 treatment. : Took the bob tail spoiler of to check what the panel looked like underneath and as you can see the paint not covered by the bob tail spoiler has deteriorated (probably just the undercoat now) markedly.

Well spotted, I was told the spacers came originally under the bracket the seat frame mounts onto - luckily my brother in law is not tall and he had to move them to be on top of the bracket to get the extra seat height.

Thanks Peter, I will heed your advice. I was concerned about the brass nozzle falling off the end, not the whole tube! For those that do not suffer from arachnophobia - the inside of the dogleg on the passenger side was interesting :

Thanks for all the advice re rust prevention etc. Well, I finally got the courage up to start stripping out the interior to see what nasties were hidden under the floor coverings and side trims. All I can say is that, based on what you normally see posted here regards rust etc. that it is a miracle that (so far) this car has not given any really nasty surprises - but still a way to go. First was removing the driver's seat and then carpet and jute : Found some rust spots under the kick plate but behind and under the seat areas was OK. Areas on the floor not covered by the tar sound deadener have minor surface rust. After slowly peeling off the side carpet trim which was attached by some sort of light glue, it appears all is OK in the door sill area. Looking into the upper dog leg area all appears good. Poking the iPhone camera in as far as it can go to look lower down I am not really sure what I see - some "black" seam sealer and some sprayed on ?something? Interestingly the underside of the driver's and passenger seats appear to be OK Second came the passenger side seat and floor coverings. Again behind and under the seat area was great In front of the seat the original carpet was in OK condition on the surface and even still had the clips to keep it in place. Side and end panel trim in OK condition as is the diamond pattern tunnel covering. Under the coverings no sign of rust however the picture hides the fact the middle of the passenger floor has been pushed up by ~2-3cms I had not had a good look at the rear hatch slam panel(?) before now but it looks OK as well. Took the rear bumper bar off and you can clearly see what 42 years of sun did to the paint. Purchased some new 260z style seat covers from the ZFactory and will attempt to fit these:
