Datsun Z-Series (1973)
for sale

Price: US $5,000.00

Description:

This is a 1973 Datsun 240z that I have been working on for the last 3 years.First I installed a 3.5 Olds aluminum V8 that was completly rebuilt with 10 to 1 pistons, performance camshaft, offy intake and a Edelbrock carb and a T-5 5 speed trans, This engine was chosen because of it's light weight , it weighs less than the original 6 cylinder, If a smallblock chev or ls motor is used you add 300 lbs to the front end and that famous Datsun Z handling is lost. This involved a new drive shaft and a new hydraulic throw out bearing. I then upgraded the braking system with vented rotors and heavy duty calipers up front and solid disk breaks in back. I also installed a larger master cylinder and a hydraulic e-brake (Drift Brake).The next step was body and paint, I reinforced the floor frame rails to go the full distance of the floor to handle the extra power.There were a few minor rust spots that I repaired along with adding the new custom front and rear bumpers.The door handles have been shaved and it has remote poppers to open the doors without touching the car. I then painted it sunset orange witch is a little lighter and a lot brighter than the original orange. I am not a professional body man or painter but it turned out real nice. Not show quality but great driver quality.I then bought some custom matching seats , new carpet and new door panels. also a new dash cap. It has new 16 custom wheels and new 225/50/16 Dunlap dizerra 2 tires.The car has 2 lowering springs and new auto power anti-sway bars front and rear.The tach was replaced with a V8 tach so it would read correct. .
