Description for Datsun Z-Series 1974
To purchase vehicleWITHOUTGrand National Drivetrainuse best offer featureRoller version - $15,000.00This car draws a crowd wherever it goes - both by its looks and sound! Pop the hood and people stop in their tracks to get a look, then let the questions begin!
A lot of money has been put into this vehicle to get the panels laser straight and give it those custom touches - like the push button starter,gauges, overhead map lights, nice stereo, (though I have yet to play it) and flawless interior! If I remember correctly from the builder in Texas, it has a 300ZX rear end and a mustang fuel tank.
The motor puts out enough power that when combined with the light weight this Z moves effortlessly; on ramps are a pleasure, requiring just a hint of throttle!
After I got it, in order to manage the driving with the bigger tires, I had a variable electric Z-Power steering unit installed and it works like a dream. All four corners now sportTokico Illumina five way adjustable shocks to tailor your suspension needs with an easy turn of a dial on top of the shock.
I had the engine rebuilt locally by Larry's Engines - a recommendation by Pierce Automotive in Oklahoma City. Yes, the same Dave andTina Pierce from Street Outlaws - great folks!!! Before you get too excited, it is a standard build and detuned because theadditionalpower justwasn't necessary for me - you might have other thoughts!
I'm providing the option to buy it without the drivetrain because tastes differ! I like Buick's 3.8 SFI Turbo and transmission and would prefer to keep them.
For those V8 fans,these are pretty cool with the LS1 conversions and sound glorious too!Perhaps you have a Datsun motor and just need a great body to put it in!
This can absolutely be used as a fair weather driver but lacks both heat and air. I don't find that a bother, but a troublesome back does make it an issue for me to get in and out of the vehicle because of its height. Once inside though, not an issue! Also included is a complete Datsun wiper assembly - I just didn't have the heart to break up the car's lines by installing them. The only other two quirks to potentially address are a speedometer which reads too fast and a fuel gauge which reads backwards - empty is full and full is empty! I kinda liked the fuelgauge and kept it like that.
This is astraight and rust free car with great body lines! A great car or a great roller to finish your dreams!

If you want to fly in a drive it home, I can pick you up at the OKC airport. Due to the car's design, I find it very pleasant to drive with the windows down, you don't get buffeted by the wind.
