1971 Datsun Z-Series Additional Info:

1971 Datsun 240Z. Series One! BUILT IN NOVEMBER 1970.
This is a third owner car. Originally purchased by Pete Redfern the number 1 draft pick out of USC to the Minnesota Twins. Major League Baseball pitcher. He had a seven-season career in the majors, from 1976-1982, all with the Minnesota Twins. In October 1983, Redfern was paralized in an ocean diving accident in Newport Beach, California which ended his playing career. The car sat garaged for approx. 5 years, Then sold it to his best friend Gerry Brown, his catcher from Sylmar High, and I bought the car from him.
It currently has a 26R out of a 260z motor in it with a 5 speed transmissionbut I have the original numbers matching block and 4 speed transmission as well as the 26r head that comes with the sale of the car.
It has 98,364 miles on the odometer. The rebuilt engine was put in 1994 with 76,000 miles on the frame when engine was changed. 22,364 miles on the existing engine. This is a rust free car with solid floor pans.
Over 5K recently invested in upgrades. Mechanically strong. Dependable daily driver. Straight body withnice orange paint. The interior is like new through out.I also have the original Owners Manual. More pics upon request. I am selling because I work 60+ hours a week and travel out of town regularly. I have no time to enjoy and drive.

The interior looks nearly new. The dash has a "dash carpet" on it but is in perfect condition underneath.
She runs and drives great and gets lots of looks on the road.
