'71 240Z, 1 Owner, Sunshine Yellow, AC & Rare Beltek FM/EQ/8 Track

[carnutatthebeach]

Selling my 71 240Z. It's not a restoration, more of a resurrection. 90k original miles. Matching numbers original engine and I assume the tranny as well. The car was only driven from new until 1984, then parked inside a garage where it sat for the next 34 years untouched. I purchased from original owner and brought it back to life. Engine purrs unbelievably and the carbs were perfect! I did oil/filter, plugs/wires, brakes, new belts and hoses, heater core hoses, master cylinder, etc. It runs, drives and stops well. Tires have been on the car since it was stored and need replaced. Tires can be a personal preference so I choose not to replace them and leave that up to the new owner. The car came from VA and is overall very solid. There's some typical rocker bubbling but very manageable. Floors and frame are very nice. Came with dealer installed AC (all there) and ultra rare Beltek FM/EQ/8 track player mounted inside the glovebox. Such a cool find!!! Even the clock works and keeps perfect time! 919 Sunshine Yellow paint code with one repaint in same color prior to being put away in 1984. Presentable for a driver but to be really nice should be resprayed. Passenger seat and door panels are quite nice. Driver's seat has a few seam tears on the bottom. Dash is super nice with no cracks! Door panels are in great shape as well with the original chrome strips intact and nice. Bumpers are driver quality with some minor pitting. This is a very original unmolested 240Z and very collectible. Jack and tools/pouch in their storage bins. All glass is good. Doors shut the best I've ever heard on an old Z. Asking $17,500 or reasonable offer. No trades, no games please. Serious inquiries only. Thanks, Dan

Damn, another super nice car!  If money grew on trees or in dog poop I'd buy them both.

Good luck selling it, she's a beauty.

Not a series one, just fyi.

[carnutatthebeach]

My apologies. What I meant was it had the early console with the cigarette lighter by the fuse block, non reclining seats, vertical defroster lines, etc. Edit made to original post. Thx

Yes, she's a beauty!  Very well preserved.  Original equipment is always very nice to see.

Nice car. Wish I had the money. And beautiful collection.

I got a question though... Your ad says a "'71 240Z, 1 Owner" But then you say you purchased it from the original owner.

How can that be a 1 Owner car if you're already the second owner? And the next purchaser would be the third owner, right?

Never registered so next owner will be the second.

Car has been sold. Beltek FM/EQ/8 track will be sold separately so if anyone knows anyone interested let me know. Rare as hens teeth!

Somebody in the last couple of days wanted an 8 track.  Go to "activity" and look through the last few days, it was in the title. Congrats on the sale.

What's the going rate for these nowadays? I'm assuming well over $1k since one sold a few years back for $800. I've had and seen a lot of Z's in my day and have never come across another one. Even googling it there's not much info...  I appreciate any input. Thx
