Ah you have fallen for the trickery, please note the sold list. The bottom pic is the most recent. No steering wheel. When I talked to him at the first post he said the radio was spoken for even though he did not include it's name in the sold list. It's best asset now is an E31 head and an 71A trans. parts that are already gone are as follows;seatsseatbeltsigniton switchdoorshatchdashfendersSteering wheel horn buttonAshtraycenter console

I saw that come up the other day, he still wants $800 and it is pretty well striped.

Just came up Portland. Not mine Looks pretty nice https://portland.craigslist.org/clc/cto/6025694509.html

Funny I thought that as well. Also isn't the radio supposed to sit outside of the center panel?

I sympathize with you JLP. I ended up converting an entire room to parts storage. Kind of a Datsun parts man cave, complete with a wood stove.

True enough, eBay Motors does not conduct business outside of an eBay transaction. I told her to have the car delivered and I would pay cash. No response. I suppose the scam works sometimes, or else why would they keep posting these ads? CL = deal in person / eBay = deal within eBay.

Sounds a lot like this one from late Nov. but with a new car for bait. I am a LT of USAF and I was transferred to Hickam AFB in HI for a 5 years period and because they cant ship all my cars here i am asking only $4,000 for this one. My Datsun is garaged at the Logistic Department at Fairchild AFB ready to go. No rust, garage kept,no accidents,clear title under my name. The shipping will be free for you because I will transport the car using a military trailer. The financial part will be managed by eBay Motors, which means you will have a 5 days inspection period BEFORE committing to buy my car. In this way we are covered during the steps of this transaction. Pics : http://s36.photobucket.com/user/reDatsun240z/library/

The price of patina is going up. Even at the dropped price. I'm with Jeff on a price of $400 not $4000

No Matthew, I was just poking fun at the ad. JSM : I saw a Sunbeam that was filled with dirt and made into a flower pot recently. That's where I got the idea.

Looks to be sold now. This posting has been deleted by its author.

But honey, you can fill it with soil and plant flowers in it. We would have the best flower pot ever!!!!

Price drop now only $375

Ahhh, correct. PNW patina

Seattle rain will put out the fire, and add to the rust color, all in one fell swoop.

Need a little TLC....... Some mild overheating!! https://seattle.craigslist.org/skc/cto/5993336834.html and no it is not my sale.......

The windows out of my early 260 parts car look like they are a bluish tint, and the ones in my 73 240 parts car are more of a grayish tint. At least thats how it looks to me, it could be the lighting too. Both are identical in size and bolt pattern though. Both are Nissan windows. 73 on the left 74 on the right in the pic. I don't have any from a 280 so I have no info there.

Only $1900 OBO on OfferUp https://offerupnow.com/item/detail/211252266/1973-datsun-240z-4-speed-all-original

Not my sale. https://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/cto/5968375544.html

Not my sale, I do not know the seller. Just popped up last night Interesting that it is posted in the Tacoma, WA listings, but the title of the ad says (oregon) https://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/cto/5959983575.html

Is that the one in Tacoma on CL? I sold one for $250 that needed to be rebuilt, so I'd say thats fair.

Silver and rust, yep. It is no longer posted. I checked the ad every now and then to see if anything had been added to the sold list, but it never changed. Some peeps just think they have gold, when it is really just gilded rust.

Nice find, a much better end to a story that could have led to a few bucks to the junkyard for scrap.

I have seen this sellers ads before as well. I tried to contact him through CL but never got a reply. Normally he has a picture of a row on nice looking Z's and says he is selling restoration parts.
