Description:

I am selling my Datsun 240z. This is a very nice car. Car is originally from the state of Washington. The first owner had it until 1977. Second owner sold it to me in 2013. I have a copy of the title from the owner from 1977. The car drives great and is very reliable.
BODY: All original, all the body panels, floors and frame have not been replaced. No patch panels. The car was originally silver and was repainted 2010 Audi Volcano Red. The paint is about 2 years old and still looks in very good condition. Only a couple of minor chips. No rust had to be repaired on the car just a few bumps and small dents. The frame rails are solid, no rust as well as the floors. Body is extremely straight. ENGINE: 2.4 engine is orginal. It had approxemtly 115k and at that time was rebuilt. I tore down the engine. The block was still excellent condition and only needed minor honing. All the pistons and rods were cleaned and rings replaced, I had the crank balance checked and it was fine. The head was rebuilt, hardened seats for unleaded gas and the orginal cam reinstalled. The water pump, oil sending unit and gaskets all replaced. I added ceramic coated headers and it has a 2 1/4 exhaust. Engine now has approx 5k miles. I just tuned the car up with new, points, condensor, plugs and adjusted the valves and timing.
TRANSMISSION: replaced the clutch, the tranny was torn apart and seals were replaced but everything else was still in good shape.
FUEL: It had the Weber downdrafts decided to replace with a set of su carbs from a 1972, which run great on the car. I used the z therapy kit to rebuild them. I just balanced out the carbs and readjusted the the idle for the summer driving season.
IGNITION: stock points and coil.
INTERIOR: black seats were recovered with a softer synthetic leather. New carpeting kit. Dash has no cracks. All the controls work. All gauges are accurate, except the clock which does not work. The door panels were recovered in simliar material as the seats to match.
Chrome and emblems: The bumpers are nice but not great. I removed all of the dried out weatherstrips and covered the holes. I replaced the emblems from motorsport z. The windshield gasket is new as well as doors and hatch.
ELECTRONICS: The radio is stock and works great. The power antenna is original and works great. Headlights, blinkers and wipers all work as they should. The HVAC controls all work and the blower motor operates properly.
TIRES, WHEELS and BRAKES: They are what came on the car when I bought it and all have good tread. They are 14 195/70/14. Brakes are all stock and still have plenty of pad.
The car origially was an air conditioning car but the compressor and condensor are gone but the underdash parts are still there. Here is a video of the car running and walk around.
