This 1971 Datsun 240Z (VIN HLS3013523) is in very nice condition and the factory orange color works perfectly with the period American Racing Libre wheels. The seller has done an exemplary job of photographing this car from every angle to ensure buyers know what they are getting. A well-lit battery tray photo displaying all original paint? We wish that ever Datsun was listed this well. A couple of paint issues and a rear tap early in its life will keep the price down on this one, but we’d still be plenty proud to drive it daily. Find it here on eBay in Spokane, Washington.

The orange paint is in decent condition on the front of the car, but at the rear there is some cracking from the aforementioned accident repair. The car is basically rust free, thanks to the lifetime of west coast ownership, and the photos tell the story. The fog lamps are a bit oversized for the car, and probably need to go.

Inside, everything seems perfect. The vinyl seats look nearly new, but the dashboard shows typical cracking. The original Hitachi AM radio is a treat. The original faux-wood steering wheel is definitely out of fashion these days, but the big diameter rim helps with leverage on the un-assisted steering.

The seller has embarked on a mission to help improve driveability under the hood, adding improved ignition components and Z Therapy carb needles. The suspension has been thoroughly gone through, with refinished and rustproofed control arms and upgraded struts. The seller has included a bunch of undercarriage photos that confirm all of the work.

The cosmetic issues may turn some off, but this car is an absolute gem that needs a caring owner in a dry climate, and it can easily go for years without additional bodywork. We are impressed by the seller’s efforts to photograph the car from every angle, with perfect lighting, so any potential owner knows exactly the condition of the car.-
