Looks like it was tortured, and it gave up the flip lid. -
Okay here is a new item, a fuse cover/ashtray for $200 that looks like is has seen many butts. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1970-Datsun-240z-Series-1-Ash-Tray-/252643799010?hash=item3ad2be6fe2:g:EvEAAOSwal5YMOBo&vxp=mtr

This is the link to all the items listed. Looks like a missed adding the link. Was up early for work and had not had my coffee yet. The parts are not mine, just thought I would share as it will be a bidding war rather than a BIN price. I live about 50 miles from Graham WA. There was two listing for Z's from there recently a 70 https://offerupnow.com/item/detail/169467849/1970-240z and a 72 https://offerupnow.com/item/detail/168935538/72-240z Both are still showing up on OfferUP, but I also saw the same cars on eBay so I think they are sold now. Not sure if it is the same seller or not, but from the same city. I will try and make sure I add the links in the future. You found them though.

I ended up not going to this auction, but now both cars are on craigslist selling out of Bremerton WA. https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/ctd/5807010350.html https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/ctd/5806962892.html

I wish I was closer, I would have to go have a look at that early car.

Just ran across this poster from a junkyard in Klamath Falls OR. Looks like they have a few Z cars there. Some other older cars as well. http://www.ebay.com/sch/elcaco371987/m.html?item=272394475325&hash=item3f6bf9d73d%3Ag%3AHKgAAOSwLF1X7KWf&vxp=mtr&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

http://www.courtesyparts.com It is a dealership in Texas that is helpful to us Z folks. I use their search bar to enter part numbers and see if they are available from Nissan. I tried both of the part numbers you listed in the diagram above and both came back 0 results. meaning NLA or never available in the US. Some times part numbers will come back with a price, suggesting it is available from Nissan, then you need a parts person (either at Coutesy or a local dealer) to check stock on the item and they can confirm if it is available. The other response that can come back from the search is "Obsolete", meaning just that. I have had some non US parts come back available and was able to purchase them through my local dealer. A complete Speedo cog for a non US 3.70 ratio 280ZX to compliment my Nissan Maxima R180 diff in 3.70 gearing, mating to a US 280ZX 5 speed I found at a local junk yard. Some other parts hunter had bought the rear Diff and took the speedo cog for his needs. It would have been for a 3.90 anyway. Just saying you never know until you look, and ask........ Good luck on the search.

Okay I got you now, I had not looked far enough South to see the second ad. I too thought it was a nice looking car from the few pictures available. He did say OBO in the Portland Ad so someone should be able to get it for a reasonable price.
-
The original ad did not have the VIN posted, The seller has been changing the ad a lot since I first saw it a few hours ago. My thought was the someone is coaching him as to the value and sale-ability of these cars. He could even be lurking here. The VIN just Popped up in the last 20 minutes, right after my comment. Pictures are different now too.
-
The ad keep changing, Now the picture with the $8500 on the windshield has been removed. The ad does say it is a manual transmission. If I had the means I would have jumped on it when I first saw the ad. ($8500) Now that the price is going up I would have to pass too. There is a contact phone number. One could call and find out the VIN at least. If I call my internal voices might talk me into making an offer. Right Mark......
-
@Mark Maras you should go check it out for us, I know those Z voices in your head are calling for you to do just that. I just looked again and the price went up to $10,500, although the picture is still up with the window price of $8500.
-
Nice looking 70, not many pictures. Owned by an 83 year old mother in law. $8500 OBO https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cto/5774209432.html

I had this posted in the for sale section, but was apparently not clear in my ad as to the fact it was even for sale. Now it is on Ebay and clearly going to sell. Item number 122087117656 if anyone is interested in taking a look. I really had no idea as to how to price this item as it sits. I decided to start low and see where it goes.
-
I will check them again to see if all the parts are there still. Maybe get some pictures for you. It might be tomorrow before I can get to them. I think I would rather sell them as a complete set rather than part them out. I already have another set as spares for myself. I will keep you posted.
-
I still have most of it Professor. I saw you were looking for round top carbs, I do have a set of crusty 4 screw ones, and a set of 3 screw that are better. What else were you looking for? I see you are in Washington, where abouts?
-
Looks like you were correct, the ad is now deleted by the author.
-
No it doesn't really look to bad at all. it will be interesting to see what it goes for. The ZX on the other hand looks pretty badly smashed, might be good for parts though.
-
http://www.luckyoldcar.com/2016-fall-classic/ Lots 408 and 510 August 27th, and 28th in Tacoma WA Might go for low dollars considering the condition that they are in.
-
It was in Kingston. I bought the car. It is now for sale again. Near Centralia. Sorry about the confusion. If it is in your exploration area, you are welcome to come and look at it, or buy it if it makes your fancy.
