A Genuine Freebie: 1973 Datsun 240Z Project Car

Note: This is NOT the car being given away in this ad. This is a file photo of what it could be when restored.

While searching the Seattle Craigslist, among the random household items, ratty furniture, camper shells and scrap metal usually found in Craigslist free-stuff sections, there was a genuine classic car: a 1973 Datsun 240Z. This car is an automatic with two sidedraft carburetors, it does not run, it is purported to have a straight, solid body with rear-hatch damage, and has title issues along the lines of needing "registration only" from the Washington DMV, which as an Oregon resident, I don't understand anything about. There are no pictures in the ad, making it a true pig in a poke, but this could be a great project for the Z-car enthusiast, or even a 24 Hours of LeMons or ChumpCar racer for those who partake in one of those two race series.

Find it here, in Seattle, Washington:
