First off, how does this forum have Datsun as a Make option, which is great, but only 260Z for the Z selection? The 240Z is the one that's worth something, and the 260Z was only offered for a year.

Anyway, I'll be straight to the point. You can CLICK HERE to see the build thread on this car.

I sold my supercharged 997S that was a cover car for Excellence to finish this Z. I say that to point out that it's not just "any Datsun". This car put down 439RWHP on pump gas with a beautiful graph to boot. It's been fully rotisserie restored by one of the biggest names in Barrett Jackson auto restoration. No expense has been spared.

Now, I have another project and have decided to put the 240 up for sale.

I have a zillion pics of the restoration and fabrication of this car. Just let me know if you want to see something that isn't up on the build thread.

Take care!

 

What a beauty! GLWS.

 

I love this car!!! GLWS!!

 

awesome car. glws

 

My dad had a redone 1972 240Z he sold the week I turned 16. I'm going to send him this link just to make him nauseous.

 

Interior pics?

 

Why are you selling this car so quickly?

I followed your build and really surprised.

 

JT3 -

Whole truth? Here goes.

1 - My wife and I have the house for sale. We're getting totally out of debt because we are going to go to California to a school/church that will hopefully prepare us for more of a missionary life. (I'm 100% serious. Not a silly joke!) After school, we want to move back to Switzerland or Italy. No reason to have this car sitting here, and it'd be nice to have that cash.

2 - I sold my track car to finish this car. There's so much money wrapped up in the Z that I can't make myself track it. I want a track car. Z's are very important to me. This car is my 14th.

Thanks to all of you for the kind words!

Oh, and as for interior pics, I need to actually get some! The interior of this car is 100% stock and 100% PERFECT. I had to track down every piece and replace it or restore it. This is why this car took nearly 4 years (at 40hrs/wk) to finish.

Here's some that I had on my hard drive.





Oh, and the graph (We got five more later, but here's what I have).

 

I never log on just to type.. glws, nice, should sell fast.

In your case I did. I had a red 280 many moons ago and to this day I regret selling.

Where is a drool smiley thingamajig? That rascal must be an absoulte blast to drive.

I wish you guys the best of times during your journey.

 

this is hands down the most beautiful 240 I've ever seen in my life and probably will ever see. phenomenal. Looks like it just rolled out of the factory

 

Stunning car, GLWS.

 

this car was at EAG the same time my RX8 was, and i can attest to its build quality. this is the baddest 240 i have ever seen, and the price is right. if you but this car, you will not be sorry.

 

I am going to give you the opportunity to do some missionary work right now: Sell it to me for $50K and we can consider the other $75K a tithe

 

Thanks PRS7, Dragonman and RFFG!

Renesis, I really appreciate your nod of approval. I remember seeing a gray RX8 there with some nice goodies and red vinyl. Is that you? Again, thanks!

Dr_jitsu -

Ha! Thanks for that, but I prayed about it and it didn't go your way. Oh well.

If you have $50k laying around, I'm sure that I can put that AND one of those cars in your sig into the Lord's work!

It's true though. I was actually in Thailand building homes and a school for Burmese refugees during most of the build of this car. I pretty much just gave the shop carte blanche and a blank check to go "over the top". I just would never have imagined that the bill would have been what it turned out to be. This car cannot, absolutely cannot, be replicated for near my asking price... and I started with a nice car in the beginning!

Edit (addition) - I will, however, give you a valid receipt that the extra $75k WAS INDEED used to support my family and I while abroad trying to make the world a bit better! That's for sure. Essentially, the proceeds from this will support us, supplemented by my earnings which will be severely cut due to being 'out of the office'.

Here's the school we'll be going to: http://www.ibethel.org/site/bethel-s...tural-ministry

And then we'll be off to work with this organization: YWAM (Youth With A Mission). Unfortunately, their site is down right now. Odd...

I put these links up there knowing that most of you will think I'm a freak, but... really, who isn't in their own way?

 

Not at all my friend....Humans are spiritual beings having a physical experience.

As far as my cars getting me closer to The Lord, my GT2 has tried on several occasions
