This lime-yellow (color code 112) 1973 Datsun 240Z Series II was registered by Culver City Datsun in California on February 28, 1973. On June 12, 1973, actress Edie Adams of Beverly Hills ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edie_Adams ) bought “the Fairlady” from the showroom of this Datsun dealership. Edie Adams was known for her roles in TV series and several movies. She had personalized license plates made for her Datsun: EDIAD 2. One of these plates is still with the car. The complete history from its purchase until now is also documented.
Power is provided by a 2.4-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission. The engine runs very nicely with good oil pressure, and the gearbox shifts smoothly. The car is equipped with alloy 14″ wheels and has front disc brakes, chrome front and rear bumper guards, an AM/FM radio-CD player by Kenwood, and a woodgrain steering wheel. The vehicle was acquired by the seller on eBay in 2003 and registered in the Netherlands on November 25 of that year. The “Z” was driven only on sunny days and never during winter. At first, it was driven 500–1,000 miles a year, but over the last ten years only a few times in the summer to keep it running.
The Datsun received all necessary maintenance and more. In the last few years, the brakes were rebuilt with all new parts, 4 new shock absorbers were installed, and the car received new tires. In addition, the car was stripped to bare metal; the rusted lower rear corners underneath the doors were replaced by welding in new OEM corners. The stripped car received an anti-corrosion treatment (KTL) and was professionally repainted in its original color. The front bumper and chrome bumper guards were re-chromed. The seats were reupholstered with the original vinyl material.
The car features chrome side mirrors on the driver’s and passenger’s sides and new Z badges on the C-pillars, as well as new badges on the hood, the fenders, and the rear hatch.
Because air conditioning is hardly ever needed in the Netherlands, the AC unit was removed, but the parts come with the car.
The Datsun 240Z is accident-free.
The insurance company required a professional appraisal for the all-risk insurance, and the value of the car was estimated at € 45.000, before the repaint.
