You know that car is rough judging from the pictures and locations. Just a bunch of hard to find parts and maybe someone with skills would be able to save it.

OlderThanMe Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Hmm... That is the kind of Z that I'd restore and sell for $30k... floors are easy, dash can be re-covered, fix the hood(maybe splice in a section from another Z hood),original color paint, and boom! it's good to go!

Pop N Wood Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I was going to say the only thing worth saving on that car is the VIN plates, but even those look dilapidated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturbo 930 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 it actually looks pretty solid from what i can see...i guess the rust is hiding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilC Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Lots of money to be had in that parts car. I know this is HBZ but I have been slowly learning about the "OEM" side to your Z's. The '69 240's are very different from most of our cars. The hood, fender, rear hatch glass, heater control panel, su carbs, hood adj bumps.....all different. A true purist can spot these 69 cars from a mile away, simple stuff that most of us will miss. I am 100% sure anyone buying that car already has a 69 and needs that "I can't find it" part off the car or it is someone thinking "man, I can restore that car and get big money" that will have a hell of a time tracking down parts and will let the car sit and rot or it will be for sale down the road.

blue72 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I'd be a little worried about the door plate being held on with phillips head screws myself. It'd be nice to see the vin on the firewall too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I can't imagine what is on the 69 that could be reused. The interior is trashed, most of the rare parts are missing, the dash is capped, the hood smashed, body panels look like they are rusted through along the bottom and the everything is coated with wet leaves from where it has been sitting outside.

Rear hatch glass with no defrost lines Hood prob can be saved (69 hoods are different from 70 and laters 240's) Handle throttle and hardware if it is still there Dash can be repaired (69 dashes are rare) Heater Control Panel(69 hcp are grey and not black like the 70 and on 240's) Seatbelts (69 production date) Rear int panel( if not broke, unique to the early z's) Early SU carbs Early series 1 clamps in the engine bay 69 production rims and spare Valve cover Steering wheel (chek ebay...they are going for nuts prices now) Early choke knob style (different from 70's 240's) And a bunch of stuff I can't think of right now....trust me it is worth more than we would think....we build Hybridz...not OEM's....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what is there looks unsalvagable. If someone does have a 69 I can't believe it could be in worse shape than that one. So what would that car have that the other doesn't? It is worth $102.50 to someome so far. Let's see what it goes for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilC Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I will watch it also.... just to be clear to anyone reading, I was not taking a shot at Pop N Wood at all. I already know someone willing to pay $200 for the airbox alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Nice "Patina". 00305 is in much beter condition chassiswise. Only six different off the line, but such a difference in overall condition. I guess the Northeast is harder on a car than SoCal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilC Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I am seeing 2000 - 2001 cars with with rusty brake lines and rust in quater panels at my dads shop. The salt is harsh on the cars...imagine when you guys out in Ca drive on a dusty road...you pass by and kick up all that dirty/sand....us during the winter...we are kicking up clouds of salt! lol Old cars don't last here if they see winters..... =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilC Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 $1000 dollars reserve on the car.....no title...no keys....hmmm. Def won't get that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 eh, Ive seen worse. Hell, Ive bought worse and driven it. doesnt look TOOOO bad. If it was closer and I had the space, Id throw down on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifton Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 " Frame rails are really bad. Drivers side is pretty much not there." Doesn't sound good. I'm sure there is alot more rust in the usual places too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73DatsunZ Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Yeah, that car would be a nice one to have especially if its that rare. Clifton, I saw your Z on Arizona Z Car's website. It looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
