Datsun 240Z Restoration - The Teardown (Part 1) (2160p_30fps_AV1-128kbit_AAC)

This is the first episode from the restoration of a 1973 Datsun 240Z. This car was driven in Los Angeles California and only had one owner. It still had a California blue plate on it and the cars registration expired in 1983, so it was not driven anymore at least for 40 years. For all these years it sat in a garage in California until its owner died and then it got sold to a european car dealer, where I bought it from. It seems that the previous owner was quite a fan of this car as he made a bunch of modifications and upgrades. He installed some nice magnesium wheels, a rear spoiler, louvres, a roll bar, a racing mirror, a new steering wheel, new radio, speakers and equalizer. The original carbureters were replaced with triple Weber carbureters and also a new exhaust was installed. He also made a very common upgrade for Califonian cars, installing an air conditioning system. The car only shows 14&miles on the speedometer, but as it only has five digits, it&more likely that it has 114&miles. The european car dealer changed a bunch of parts to make the engine running again. New battery, carbureter funnels, starter, ignition coil, completely new brakes, fuel pump and oil filter. He also put on new seat covers. I wish I could have bought the car directly from California, to have a real barn find car. I really like the 240Z. It&a great classic japanese sports car from the 70&It&design is really flawless from front to rear and side to side. The shape of the car is really...
