Hi all, I was wondering your guys’s honest opinion and advice on what you would do on this 1973 240z I acquired.
For context, this is the second Z out of two that I had purchased from a distant relative whose late husband owned the cars. The first was complete, and is being mechanically restored by me. I am told now that the house where this second Z is stored is looking to be sold within the next few days, so it needs to leave ASAP. So here lies the crossroads: Does it make sense to sell it whole? It’s no series one, and obviously has floor pan issues as well as missing a title. The alternative is to rent a trailer, take it apart/cut into parts, and pay storage. I want to be realistic here given the time frame and condition of the car.
Attached is some pictures I was able to get this evening of the car and everything I could find Datsun related. I am digging it out its grave in the morning. Thanks guys!
Definitely “saveable”. Is it worth the cost, well the depends. Do you want to own two cars? You could probably sell it off in pieces for the maximum return but you may not have the time. I’m sure someone would be willing to buy at some price but your location will have a big impact on value. A rusty car in CA or TX has little to no value, but in the rust belt this is pretty typical and there are few cars to choose from.
