<<Must be real rare, a 1971 240Z with a 2.6L engine. Probably means it
wasn't
stock? So is the price out of line?>>
Taking into account Dan Zubkoff's excellent points, I don't think that this
price is that far out of line if it is in good to excellent shape. Nicely
restored cars are advertised down here in the $7,000 to $17,000 range. And
most of these are the run of the mill high production models. Earlier
models are more desirable. Keep in mind that the factory restored versions
sold a few years ago went for $24,000 to $35,000 or so!
Regarding the Z tranny swap, all I can say is that my 4 speed Z tranny feels
a whole lot more solid than my 5 speed roadster tranny. The Z units are
rock solid. Best of all - cheap. It sounds reasonable to me. Please
enlighten as to the drawbacks.
