I'd love to buy it but not sure what it's worth or what to offer. All original paint, optional AC, very little rust that I could see, only one shallow crease in the rear quarter panel, door dings, cracked dash, tears in drivers seat, rusted exhaust, some worn door seals. Everything else is just dirty. It was only outside the garage for the past year.
How do you start cars like this? My guess would be to replace the fluids, filters, plugs, plugs wires, rotor, gas, carb fuel lines, good battery, hand crank it to see if it turns, prime the carbs, and try to start her up... Attached thumbnail(s) Attached image(s) |

I had one. 1970 240. This was a GA car sitting in a garage for many years so the tin worm missed it.
If you find a nice one keep it! These old Z's rust anywhere there's a bend, curve or fold in the metal! I actually saw a 1970 Fairlady Z 32 years ago. The interior was done is metal flake vinyl and it was right hand drive. The girl that was driving it was dating the owner. He worked in Japan and purchased it there and had it shipped over here. It was carbed. Very cool! |
