My 1974 260 Z 2+2 is white with an automatic transmission. I have had the car since 1989 and most of my mileage was accumulated by driving between New York and Boston on interstate highways. It has 112,470 original miles, drives well and has a current New York registration and a current New York inspection. It also has an air conditioner and an Alpine stereo with cassette. Since the 260 Z was only made one year – 1974 – and since Nissan has restarted its “Z” line, all of the old “Z” cars should increase in value over the next several years. The paint and body have been well maintained, the interior has been well preserved except that it could use custom seat covers to really improve its overall value, and the drivability has been maintained with very high standards. Overall, for a car that is driven, my 260 Z 2+2 is in very good condition.

Even though the car has been in New York as long as I have had it, I have carefully maintained the body so that it remains safe and structurally sound. The frame rails are not rotted and have been reinforced from the firewalls to the mid section. The structural integrity around the wheel wells has also been well preserved. Overall, the frame is in good shape and does not exhibit the rotting that can be a problem for these cars.

Significant maintenance and repairs since 1999 have included: Master Cylinder, Power Booster, Brake Pads and Rotors, Radiator Clutch Fan, Heater Core, Rebuild Transmission, Tie Rod Ends, Rack and Pinion, Strut Rod End Bushings, Sway Bar Links, Multiple Fuel Lines and Hoses, Valve Cover Gasket, Alternator and Battery. *** MOST RECEIPTS ARE STILL AVAILABLE.

All original gauges are present.

The car is being sold because I am no longer able to use a car that is older than 20 years for work purposes. Even though I am not sure of why this rule was instituted - it seems quite arbitrary - I must abide by it. Since I used the car for business, and all maintenance and repairs were expensed, the car was extremely well maintained to be dependable. My job requires me to commute between Stony Brook, Long Island and Westchester County and the car has been used in this capacity without a problem since 1998. To see the car for yourself and test drive it, please contact me at 631-474-3204 or e-mail me at dja.1@netzero.net.

I am asking $5,037.00 for my car. As Winter is here, and the price of cars like these drops at this time, I will be flexible in my price during the next several months.
