Vehicle Description
This Southern California Datsun 240Z was lovingly restored by its
third owner, who has had it since 1996. The restoration took over
two years, from 2005-07, at 162,256 miles, and included a complete
overhaul and rebuild of the original L24 engine (HLS30 67615)
engine. The engine rebuild included new cylinder head, valves,
valve seats, pistons, rings, main and rod bearings. The clutch,
master and slave cylinders were replaced. It's also equipped with
the original SU carburetor and Nissan valve cover. The restoration
also included a complete refinish of the body, including new floor
pans and original color, new upholstery, interior panels and
headliner. It also received new OEM chrome bumpers, Eibach springs,
Tokico shocks, RetroSound radio, new floor mats, stainless-steel
exhaust, replacement badges and dash. It has Dynamat sound and heat
insulation throughout. It rides on restored 1980s Carroll Shelby
14" mag wheels wrapped in new Kumho Sense tires. Other features
include OEM parts from Nissan or Motorsport Auto in Orange, CA.
With less than 1,100 miles since the restoration, it's always been
garaged and never a daily driver. Other parts of the restoration
include replacement of the flywheel, brake master, differential and
fuel pump, installation of electronic ignition, rebuilt SU
carburetor, powder-coated lines, polished valve cover and
manifolds, plate headers and heat shield, refinished wheels,
rebuilt steering rack, replacement of heater core and replacement
of choke cable assembly.
