:confused: 510 guy looking at a 1970 240z.

Car is auto, has widened rear quarters and fenders(Iguess you could say flared) rockers rusty where they meet quarters. primer red.... ona scale of 1-10 I give it a 1-1.5 and i havn't even been underneath it yet...

I guess my question is, because its a 70' and they are sequentially numbered cars, even though its rough is it worth saving:confused:

Also the fact that its auto is odd, does anybody have production numbers??

I'll try and post a picture of the door jamb plate.(HLS30-00105)

Later, Dan510:D

Acording to the Datsun Z Registry, that car should be:

VIN: HLS30 00105 Production Date: 10 / 69 Color Body /Int : Green / Tan Orig.Eng.Number: L24 02331Owner: Charlie Mactutus City/State/Cntry: IZCC Member#: Comments:e-mail: [email protected]Date Registered: 04 Sep 01

If it is actually the correct VIN, the car is close to the magic "First 100 Z Cars" status and probably should be restored. If the details of the car you are looking at do not match the info above, then something is up. Do your homework.

thanks reggiegsd,

the pics he e-mailed me arn't the best the vin tag production date shows 1/70.

might be HLS30-00106 ?? hard to tell...

when you say owner, is that who its supposed to own it now??this car is in Ontario, Canada somewhere.. I havn't spoken to the guy yet he has only sent me the pics. She's not pretty... front bumper gone, bad bad body work, from what I can see, missing interior, but the color of the inside of the door is green, it has the SU's no air cleaner (not installed anyway)

he also says he has alot of 71' parts to go with the car.

I'm going to try and post the pics he sent me (so you can all laugh or cry at the sad shape of what should be a rolling legend)

later, Dan510
