'72 240Z L28 5-Speed for sale
Hey guys--- its my Z... '72 240Z w/ SUs and L28/5-Speed from 280Z. Its in fair condition. The "For Sale" sign says $1950 obo but anyone from ZDriver can have it for $1800. For $2000 I'll include the car and $400-$500 worth of extra parts.
I'm in Ventura, CA (1 hour north of LA). You'll find pictures on my website:
'72 240Z
The good:
'72 240Z California (no smog necessary for the time being)
'76 280Z engine (L28) with approx 110,000 miles.. runs NICE and STRONGl!!!
'78 280Z 5-Speed
Rebuilt SU carburetors, 4-screw.
Clutch works great!
Brakes work great!
280Z seats in 75% condition (a couple of tears but theyre nice)
280Z seatbelts
16x7 Z-Racing rims 4x100 painted alloy rims ($450 brand new)
The rims are on custom spacers allowing for FWD offset. ($250 value)
205/55HR16 Continental ContiContact front tires
225/50VR16 Michelin XGTV4 rear tires
Full size spare on honda rim for use on spacers with 195/70HR14 tire
New bellows type electric fuel pump
2.5" Exhaust from manifold collector to rear of car w/ Cherry Bomb universal 2.5" muffler
The bad:
The rack and pinion and tire rods ALL need to be replaced
The RR tire is toed in.. causing extremely bad tire wear on rear tires
There is rust... where the hatch closes, and near the LR side window.
Needs a door panel and window rail mechanisms on drivers side.
FUMES! I dont know why.. but sometimes theres some gassy fumes gettin' inside.
Creaks and squeaks of a 30 year old car.
Needs paint
Salvaged title
Roof has some wrinkles in it
the tranny grinds a little when speed-shifting into third gear
The parts:
This car will come with EVERY extra Z Car part I have! I've got lots! Including but not limited to:
Extra 240Z seats in nice condition
Extra seatbelt mechanisms.
Extra N47 exhaust manifold.
TWO extra sets of THREE screw SU carburetors
Extra fuel pump
TWO clutches and pressure plates.
Toyota 4-piston calipers
ZX Master cylinder
extra radiator from my old '71 (requires modification to fit)
some extra misc gauges (280z gauges)
That's all I can think of---basically you're buying my arsenal of z-car stuff. I have just about everything needed to repair something that would go wrong on this car to keep it on the road. It was my daily driver for over 4 months, and was the previous owner's daily driver for a while before that. It runs strong.. will spin those 225 V-rated michelins... and can jam up to 100 mph from 75 with ease (and embarass the local hondas). Asking $2000 for EVERYTHING pick up only. I'm in Ventura, CA (one hour north of LA)

not bad just wondering....
before i go and drive 3 or so hours to take a look at this car i was wondering why it has a salvaged title and what is wrong with it? is there anything wrong with the frame? is there rust on the frame or in the engine bay. and maybe give me rough estimate on a professional repair on rust and of course a ghetto estimate for the handy man. i am in search for my first Z car, im only 19 and its hard enough being a clooege student who wants a fixer upper you know what i mean?

I don't know how much it would cost to fix--- and also I don't know why it has a salvaged title--- the previous owner didnt even mention it >

The engine bay doesnt have much rust----- everything I've found looks to be repairable but I have NO idea why the R/R is toed it. It could have been in an accident and thats why--- although I've seen no signs on body damage back there.
You should come see it you won't be dissapointed (for the price). I've gotten so far only one other email in inquiry about it. I'll be parking it w/ the for sale sign in public places starting tomorrow.

Looks like a good car for the price. Well, it looks good no matter what price.
The key to getting a cheap car that is going to last (for you college student) is to buy one that runs excellent and is a daily driver. Then keep driving it daily and just do your oil changes and regular tune-ups. It should keep going for a long time.

Yes! But I'm a broke bastid--- school is over in a couple of months, I got my truck (which I've grown to like better than the Z for WHATEVER reason!) and my Jeep. I can't afford not to sell the Z.
I've only got a couple of people to say they'd call-- but both guys flaked out and didn't call!
I thought I was selling it for a good price! I don't know where all the buyers are!
