Most days, we look for quirky used cars, or inexpensive ones, or project cars. Yes, we've tossed a few classics up there -- two or three '60s Ford T-Birds, for example, but it hasn't been the normal modus operandi.
Well, today, we're going full classic with a $50,000 Datsun Z from 1971.
Found on one of our forums via the well-known Bring a Trailer Web site, this Z has been owned by the seller since 1975 (meaning this person has owned this car for longer than I've been alive) and is yellow with a black interior. It's powered by the 2.4-liter inline-six, has a four-speed manual transmission, chrome bumpers, 14-inch wheels, a front spoiler, rear window louvers, a wood shift knob, a heater, and an AM radio.
Apparently, this car is an award winner, and it underwent a mechanical overhaul recently.
There are some cosmetic blemishes and rust bubbles, and the seller has repaired rust spots before.
UPDATE: Welp, this car apparently sold for $36,000 yesterday. Well, you can still gaze upon its glory.
