The fit and finish on this appears much better than most of the "cut and screwed" cars that are thrown at us daily. 300-350 hp isn't bad either.
I'd take this in a NY Minute.
Look at how the rear flares were incorporated into the doors!

Ahhhh the sixties... I envision myself one early Saturday morning wearing plaid shorts, black shoes with white socks smoking a cigarette heading to the hardware store to buy a bag of nails.
SWB cars are an acquired taste however once acquired theirs no turning back.
Just what I didn't need to see! THANKS A LOT.
A friend has a half dozen of them and counting and thinks I need one (I've owned 2 in the past).

I've been keeping my eye out for a nice unmolested early 240Z, but there aren't many left on the East coast.
I do like the R Gruppe attitude of this guy's car though: http://petrolicious.com/dare-to-be-d...-a-datsun-240z

This was Hemmings 'Find of the Day' yesterday. Don't know anything about these, but it seems like a lot of car for $19,500 - certainly by Porsche standards anyway!

I had one of the first year production cars in 1973 and never understood why everyone raved about them. The sheet metal was thin and tended to vibrate, when loaded into a corner the wheels would flex and the hubcaps would come flying off and the engine was basically a copy of a Jag engine with better electrics.
I sold mine within 3 months.

Ask Penske about thin sheetmetal (Trans Am Camaro) LOL.
Set up properly they were very nice cars. Strut braces across the front and back as well as suspension mods made them very effective tools. WAY back in the day there was a guy who came to a large gathering of auto-x'rs with a very well sorted one. It was a speed course. He outran a 2.8 high butterfly RSR build (Franz Blam engine) car until the owner, who was a competitive (SCCA and later Firehawk) driver gave it to his friend, also a competitive driver, who ended up winning by the skin of his teeth. The downside to the story was they were never really at "tight" after that. Ego.
That 240Z hauled ass.
"jashford" was the winner.He lurks here.
PS: '73 is the "least" desirable for carbs and emissions crapola. 70-72's are the ones with the '70 being as light as they got.
