1977 Datsun 260Z 2+2 With Z car prices skyrocketing and early Japanese cars being much rarer than Aussie built cars, you cant go wrong with the old Datto. The 2+2 is the only model that can seat 4 people as opposed to 2, so its easier to convince the wife and kids. This old girl may look rough but its a very solid and complete car. It has been stored under cover about 14 years in west Qld and was last registered out in Warwick. A guy used it as a commuter but only a short distance and as such I was told by the guy I got it off that the KLMS are genuine (it has been stored 1/3 of its life). The car does look all original and the paint is the factory colour with no signs of a respray (except the dented bits). The car runs and drives. I have put a new clutch master/slave cylinder and hose on, and I have replaced the rear brake cylinders and brake master cylinder but it still needs some new hoses and bleeding, so no foot brakes at present (I am running out of time to spend on her, so for now it has no foot brakes unless I get time). It can be driven on to a trailer etc and handbrake works. I have been working on replacing vacuum lines as all are old and cracked and it is running better the more I do, but still needs some replaced and a tune etc. The carbs will need a kit as cold starts take a while, but once warm she is good. It has a new electric fuel pump and filter. It has a working factory electric sunroof, and it does have factory Air con but thats not working.
It is an ALL MATCHING NUMBERS CAR with original motor. Has all badges and tags etc. There is a little rust, but not the normal scary areas like floors etc, it has very solid floors, boot, windscreen area, and the doors and door jams are all great. The main rust is around some of the lower outer sills and s. But for a Z car it is on the good end as far as rust. Obviously needs paint unless you want a rat car. The interior is original and the seats/dash has a few cracks but could still be used as is. I always wanted one of these but we are saving for a house deposit, so I need to sell otherwise Id store it. It is a project that has sat for 14 years, so will need work, but it does run and drive, and has very little rust, so its a great start.
NOTE: PPQ plates 260ZD are sold separately, buyer gets them for $1000- extra, if not I will sell them after Z car sold for $1500- Video of it running. GEaVX4yPRc&feature=youtu.be
