Well that sounds fair then. But most 240z's ive seen here that where for sale in the range of 15k, all need a complete resto, and then that price is really to much, even though it's a collectible. But maybe this is what the market demands ? Would you buy a rotten 2000gt for 500k just because the market says so ? Maybe.. if you are a millionaire.. but not with common sense.

Yes Mart, it's crazy they ask 15k euro here for a 240z that needs to be restored. Alot of people think they can ask big bucks just because it's a classic not looking at the state it is in... A while ago I saw a totally rotten 67 Shelby Mustang on Ebay, and the guy wanted 60k or something, totally nuts !

That one is shot, please leave it there, it's rotten all over. It's a good one for parts. But the million dollar question here is what in your opinion is the right one for the right price ?! Good ones ( for restoration ) start between 10/15k these days.

To bad ! That looks like a really nice survivor indeed.

If it's leaking wih the electrical connections, better get a new sender, or replace it with a used one that doesn't leak. Yeah the lock ring is supposed to pass the notches. ( New sender comes with a new o-ring, or else like said above, get an o-ring that is fuel resistant

I think back in the day a production car of 1970 could have used some 69 parts, even a 72 could have used 70 parts laying around in the factory. I see that evidence on many 240z's.. The small features on the cars change slowly over the years they where build, but some later models still used some early parts.

Enjoy it ! You will see there are plenty of things to do, you won't get bored

Great results ! Puts the 240z ever further in the spotlight of classic cars..

I believe the 240z never had a manual antenna ?

Man that sucks ! Lucky that you have just minor injuries ! I know the feeling.. I to just came back from a car wash last year when some idiot parked his van in the front of my z.. doing 10k damage. I sure hope for you that guy in the explorer has some kind of an Insurance...

Second that ! Great work man !

Great ! Live it man ! About the gas tank leak.. when you have the time drop it down, and replace all the hoses, that's the problem.

@black gold manyour wheels are on it !

The weather was bad, but I gave it a try.. turned out dry there Lucky ! I also met Eurodat ( Chas ) @ Japan Classic Sunday..

Ah yeah..chinese wrenches !

Needs welding, floors, doglegs, but seems to me a good candidate for a restoration ? Original engine is still there. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-Z-Series-240Z-/122021923385?forcerrptr=true&hash=item1c6912ca39:g:NMoAAOSwNuxXaJLN&item=122021923385

Love that colour blue

Actually a series 2 doesn't exist. That's just what we call it based on the rear sail pillar emblem. But changes went slowly over time during the production. They used up parts laying around from the real early cars on mid to late 71's.

All stock with stock camshaft. Valve seats have been replaced offcourse for unleaded. I am not sure about the price yet, it's hard to determine a price for these..

Not good. Go back. It was done to quickly, and the preparation wasn't done right. That grinder marks should have been sandblasted. The yellow is only touching the edges as you can see.

Could be a 69, this came up on the nissan website as a 69 fairlady z model..
