As you know, the original Datsun 240Z is one of the most sought-after collectible cars in the entry to mid-level market.
This particular example was purchased through an estate broker with very low miles on the odometer. This car can be driven as is or become an excellent candidate for full restoration to a show standard. It currently runs but is in need of tuning. The paint is an older inexpensive re-spray in what appears to be the original color. As shown in the photos, there is a solid foundation to work with. The undercarriage is very clean for a 50-year-old car. There are signs of previous rust repair on certain body panels, which is to be expected. Frankly, if addressed by Roadster Salon, we would recommend stripping the entire car to bare metal and addressing any prior body work before moving forward. An enthusiast might notice the hood has louvers from a later model Z, and period correct alloy wheels.
The interior condition is very encouraging and original. While never a certainty, it generally portends of a well-cared for example when a car's interior is clean with minimal wear and tear. This lovely car can be purchased one of two ways. Either as is without further mechanical or cosmetic enhancements, or with a detailed restoration contract. Considering the rarity and very high value of show quality Z cars, a more substantial investment may be worth considering. Priced aggressively in its current condition.
Please call to discuss either option.
