1968 had Stromberg carbs. No evidence of rust worms here. -

Looks like a few loose bits on the dash. May need some new wood. -

It's been moved from a garage to this storage shed. -

From the album: Arizona rust free Datsun 260Z
Something smacked the hatch, put a ding in it, and broke the tail light plastic. -

I haven't pulled the head on the L26 yet. The auction listed this car as having a blown head gasket. There's only surface rust around the battery tray. The heater core has been disconnected (assume it's bad) and a few molded hoses have been replaced with generic straight hose (kinked in places). Typical Joe Dirt poorly maintained Z. -

A closer view of the dash through the hatch. -

The seats are worn down into the foam and the dash is badly cracked. The center console is also cracked and a 110v light switch is wired into the dash (must have been for the missing stereo). The good news is that all the panels are there in good shape and there's no rust in the floorboards. OEM style seat covers are about $180 a pair delivered. -

The other side of the car is fine. Passenger side window regulator has problems and I haven't fixed it yet. Yes, that's part of my fleet of 510s in the background. -

This is the worst body damage on the car. No bondo to be found anywhere and I can pull this stuff out (or just replace the two bent parts). Looks like it got hit right above the headlight.
