Vehicle Description
Sunnyside Chevrolet of Elyria, Ohio in conjunction with Greg's
Sports, Classic, & Muscle is proud to offer for sale this beautiful
1972 Datsun 240Z!!!!
This is a really good one folks. If you are looking at the pictures
and wondering if the car can be as good as the pictures the answer
is simply-YES!
Green Metallic with "brown", as Datsun called it, interior (yep it
looks orange and yep its 100 percent correct "brown"). Screaming,
stunning appearance- most who see it love it- I do. Its pure 70's.
Not for you, that's OK keep moving on to a boring silver or white
we will pass no judgement.
This one has a very interesting history. Recently purchased by us
from a local guest who also sold us his Datsun 2000 (equally
beautiful and now residing on the east coast with its new
caretaker), when we saw this car we saw the quality and knew it was
an outstanding car. So, here's the history as told to us. The car
was known by our customer from 1976 when his buddy's dad bought it
as a low mileage original car. Used for a while and then relegated
to the garage for a long slumber, enter the son who starts a
restoration. Partially completed and then parked again, enter our
previous owner who decides its time to restore this to its original
glory and livery. Yep, Metallic green and brown just as it was
born. The restoration starts around 2005 and no nut or bolt is left
unturned. The original 24L engine is stuck and replaced with a 28L
block and head (280Z), that is rebuilt and all ancillary engine
compartment item's restored and transferred over. The result is
beautiful and performs marvelously.
The work is finished around 2012 or 13, the car is used very
sparingly, and you guessed it, back in the garage until we recently
purchased it. We fully serviced it including pulling and sealing
the fuel tank and went through all systems to insure we are
offering the best car possible. The only area that may need
addressed is tires- they appear new but were purchased in 05 and
are dated 04. If you are going to show it or drive it tires will be
your choice.
Great metal- check. Great paint- check. Great floors- check. No
patch panels- check. Outstanding engine compartment- check. Great
interior- check. Thinking you get the point- examine the pictures
they are very accurate.
Now for the best part, pull the choke, twist the key and get ready
to smile. This one runs and performs flawlessly. Snick it into
first gear, mash the gas and quickly realize why these cars were so
popular new and coming on so strong in the market now.
Drive it, show it, keep it in a bubble and polish it as a prized
possession, the choice is yours once you make it yours.
We stand behind our thoughts on this car by offering our travel
expenses guarantee- come see the car and if we have materially
misrepresented its condition we will gladly pay half of your travel
expenses up to $500.00- this offer had been in place since we sold
our first classic and we haven't paid the money yet.... We pride
ourselves on having good cars and representing them properly.
