This 1970 Datsun 240Z is finished in white over a red interior and is powered by a 2.6-liter L26 inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission. The car was reportedly acquired by the seller in 2018 from a Southern California owner who had it for 29 years. The seller reports a number of issues in the paintwork, suspension, and electrical systems as outlined below. Uninstalled parts included in the sale include a high-compression L28 engine, an aftermarket camshaft, front bumper mounts, extra taillights, a period fiberglass rear spoiler, retractable seatbelts, the removed heater, and a custom-built speaker box. This S30 project is now offered at no reserve with spare parts, the L28 engine, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The seller reports that this car was originally finished in Safari Gold, although it was repainted in the late 1980s. The drip rails were also shaved, the bumpers removed, and a front air dam installed alongside a rear lip spoiler. Rust was also reportedly repaired at that time and again in the late ’90s. The exterior is shown in detail in the photo gallery below, including body filler in the lower wheel arches and rocker panels, blemishes in the paintwork, and a crack in the windshield. The seller states that the rubber seals on the hood and the rear deck lid should be replaced.

Gold-finished 15″ x 8″ Vors TR7 wheels are mounted with recently acquired 205/55 Thunderer Mach IV R302 tires. The rack-and-pinion unit was reportedly rebuilt, four-wheel disc brakes are equipped, and lowering springs have been installed, although the seller recommends that the shocks and springs be replaced.

The interior is finished in red vinyl over a black console and black carpeting. The seller notes that the seats were re-covered six months ago, Dynamat sound-dampening material was added under the carpet, the dash is cracked, and the heater core has been removed. The seller also reports that the windows struggle to roll up and down. A woodgrain shift knob is installed to a billet shifter.

A wood-rimmed Momo steering wheel fronts factory instrumentation, which is said to be inoperable, as are the turn signals. The ignition switch also does not work and has been bypassed with a push-button starter switch. The five-digit odometer shows approximately 13k miles and has rolled over. The seller has added approximately 100 miles.

The 2.6-liter L26 inline-six was installed under prior ownership and delivers power to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. Induction is handled by twin SU carburetors, and an exhaust header feeds 2.5″ piping and a Flowmaster muffler. Other upgrades reportedly include an electronic distributor, an 11-pound lightweight flywheel, and a 3.90:1 differential. Per the seller, recent service included a replacement air cleaner and spark plugs as well as an oil change. An additional high-compression L28 engine is included with the sale of the car and is reportedly equipped with forged pistons and connecting rods; per the seller, the spare engine was removed from this car in the early 2000s and has not been run since.

The seller reports that the floor is pushed up on the passenger side. Additional photos of the underside are presented in the gallery, and a walk-around video is viewable below.
