- UPDATE: CAR SOLD ON BRING A TRAILER 10/18/2021 for $25,000
bringatrailer....
Purchased from the dealer in 1974 by my father this Datsun 260Z has lived a relatively uncommon life. I unpack the story of this car as well as my feelings for it as my dad gets ready to cut her loose.
i had a 260z same color here in cali. got it for 200 bucks off the original owner back in 07. still ran but was not as nice as this. sold it for 1100 bucks a year later cuz the carbs were so out of adjustment it would stall at red lights. watching this rekindled my urge to get another. great vid man
That is a very cool car! 😎😎😎 I always loved the old Datsun Z's! Your dad took great care of it! 👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Would Love to own this sweet Z! This was my first car. Almost identical to yours. Mine had a lighter blue paint and the interior was white except for the dash and console. My dads friend had it sitting in his shop. I bought it and didn't even know how to drive a stick till that day! Been a die hard Z lover ever since. I poured a ton of my money, blood , sweat and beers into her and she was fast and beautiful! I ended up having to sell her because every damn time I left the house the cops were on my tail, sucking that sweet Z exhaust! One important fact, 74 was the only year the 260 was manufactured. Thanks for the memories, you have a awesome ride their!
Wow I didn’t know it was a 1 year run. Super good info. Yeah my heart aches a little to see her go but I do not want to pay what my dad wants for it. 😬🙃🤙🏼
@@therealjessescheel Whats he asking if you don't mind? I've seen them go for upwards of 20K plus here in the last couple years.Just blows my mind what these cars are fetching. I also had a 83 280zx. This car was mint! bought it from a 1 owner from TX. It was her car period.When I went to look at it she had her suv & the 280 sitting in the garage along with the kids power wheels and toys taking up the 3rd bay,his 80K BMW wasn't allowed in there and her 280 wasn't gonna sit outside in the weather! I think i bought that car in 96 and it had 43000 miles on it. She was totaled when a Kid shot the gap on a 2 lane and I was on the reciving end. Jeep Cherokke vs 280zx. I was lucky just being hit in thr left front side fender. Another second and a half it would have been sitting on top of me! Bent the frame crushed the upper and lower control arms busted the strut and snapped the fuel injection right off the head! And what really pissed me off is that I just changed the oil,had less than 2 miles on the fresh oil.
My project is a early 260z light metallic blue with white interior and brown carpet, all original. Maybe it was your old car 😉
@@rallycarsdinosaurs7623 same as the one I'm tryna get rid of
When I first moved my Old Neighbor had A solid 43K mile 240z original owner, really wish I knew he was interested in selling it because boom it was gone one day when I thought it was his baby.
Sad to see the 260Z leave the Familia.
You have no idea how much it belongs to me
Did you buy it?
@@therealjessescheel I only wish. I had a silver one back in the day. Couldn't drive it where I live now
Bro it's up to you to take care of that thing. I get that they're going up in value, but I wouldn't let him sell it.
Although there is a ton of sentimental value the car just does not resonate with me. Id rather buy the cleanest 2007-2008 Blue 350Z with black leather left on planet earth. I would be money ahead and have twice the car. I appreciate your opinion though. Your not the only one who has said that to me.
@@therealjessescheel 350s are ugly (not as bad as a Z31 300ZX nor a 280ZX, but still…). I inherited my mom’s 260Z, & trying to get it restored. Once it’s on the road again, it’s mine until death!
If you want speed throw a 3.1 Robello motor in it. They sound fantastic!! I have a 260z not anywhere close to that shape but my best friend who passed sold it to me. It's fun to drive, but hard to maintain, and 400z looking zexy!!
Dont sell it! Great vid, lmao when you and your bud were in the car. You deserve more subs.
Appreciate the kind words man! I know I will kick myself for letting him sell it but the wheels are already in motion with bring a trailer.
One of the most mint 240z I've ever seen. Original owner FFS!!. I hope your dad got top dollar. And BTW you'll kick yourself, trust me :)

Ohh, and the carbs. They looked like Webbers??. That would explain the odd power band. Should be basically unstallable?, is that a word, LOL
Love your Dad's Datsun! I have a 2003 350Z.
I really thought this video was gonna suck for the first 2 mins because there was no “PSSHHHHHH” welcome 😅 The “PSSSHHHH” draws me in man 😂👍
It’s in there. You just got to wait for it. 🙃👍🏼
Super fun video really enjoyed it! Like others have said bring a trailer would be a good place to list it.
Sounds like that’s where it’s going. ☺️👍🏼
Sammy Hagar ! Cool. The car makes him look younger.
I like how u actually read every comment! Also nice car I just bought my 1st 2004 350z
I am still small enough where its not to hard to see them all. Cant go wrong with a 350Z! Appreciate you watching! 😎👍
I don't think Daddy Doug will let you list the 260Z on cars AND bids since it's older than 1980, but he might make an exception because they continued to make the S30 chassis until 1983
We are actually looking more at bring a trailer now. Ill clarify with daddy doug though 🙂👍
@@therealjessescheel bring a trailer is probably the best option for that thing. Old Z's sell very well on there. I have some experience with them as a photographer for their listings, so I will tell you to be prepared for a 3-4 week wait minimum for it to be listed once you submit it
Appreciate the heads up ☺️
Oh yeah and this 240 post got you a follow from me, so please more footage!
My 2nd car was a 260z, back in 1979. Your dad's looks incredible in and out. Here's what you should do - replace the 260z emblems with "240z" and make an extra $20k on the sale.
Its going up on bring a trailer in the next few days/week. They would kill us if we did the badge thing 🙃
it's beautiful 💯
Thank you Jerome! 😎👍🏼
Hopefully she goes to a good home!
Agree! I think she will ☺️👍🏼
Fun vid Jess 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
It was a fun one to film. Nice to get out in other cars every now and then. 😎👍
Don't know if you know this, but you and Simon are related.
Brothers in Christ 👊😊👍
What did you pay for it I have its twin
we sold it. read the description
Cool
👍
I liked and unliked and then reliked and then unliked and reliked just so I could like it enough, great vlog
Glad you liked it! The car is sold now unfortunately but thanks for watching and commenting! 😊
I get it. But I would not have let that leave the family.
Only if the Hitachis Have Been Rebuilt or Replaced.Lol😅
OMG no way Bro
You like it?! 🙃😎👍🏼
Nah I come for the dsm content
You’ll get some. It’s coming 😉👍🏼
Man I think I would trade it in on the 2022-23 Z car. Only because it's all original and would need a serious engine/suspension upgrade to satisfy my needs.
Yep I hear ya. Its on bring a trailer as we speak.
You can fetch 40k for this Z. In 10 years it will be worth double.
Dont sell it youll regret it! These cars are going up in demand.
It’s sold. Brought $25k on bring a trailer.
@@therealjessescheel And now they're going for $50k
bring a trailer would fetch a good price that thing is a cream puff
We may list it on there. We are keeping an eye on this one to see what it goes for. bringatrailer.com/listing/1974-datsun-260z-45/

Now you have ☺️👍🏼
