Yes! Something is amiss here.

 

Botched dog leg repair. If they willingly did that, then the whole car is suspect.

I was going through my stash of factory service literature and refound this. It's a training aid for parts personnel that taught them how to identify Datsuns from day 1 in the US through about 1975.

If you see one for sale don't hesitate. It's really cool and very informative as well as a reliable source of correct model info.

 

I have never seen one of those.  I would buy one, definitely!

Where to not lift a z 😑

 

That is the correct position to put a Z on a lift.

There is no other way.

Looks like the front position could go forward a bit under the strut. On the rear is where I position my stands. Thoughts Gentelman.

Isn't that correct? There is reinforced steel plates in those corners and the front chassis rails are much thicker than the rear ones.

I'd love to see it also. I'll bet it doesn't mention anything regarding series 1, 1.5, 2 or 3 cars in there either. Haha.

Wow what happend here ? 🙄

 

 

Fender flares.

 

I jest.

 

Really, that car is a mess. In addition to other deficiencies pointed out here, the tires are nearly flat, and the left rear has excessive negative camber.

 

Certainly not worthy of the current bid of nearly sixty grand. Someone is going to get a lemon.

That's not a bid, it's a price.

Looks like a consignment shop.  The cars are all in different locations.  Sell, sell, sell...

These guys are still business.  The Z's look a lot better though.  They had a few that came straight from the wrecking yard for way too much, in the past.

When I see their ads in Hemmings I don't bother to read the text.
