well seems like i cant get a hold of the green 280z. Still looking around, this is harder than i thought. Ive considered getting one of these cars. bmw 2002 http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?p=17090909 Pretty neat cars and starting to like it more and more, so i had to look at Z's again to keep my mind straight.

Yea i guess i could, since all i really care about at this point is the body, as far as rust goes, just finding one with minimal rust. However i cant really tell from the pics he sent me, if the rust is just surface or actually penetrated rust. He did say the car runs, has all original paper work. I think he said that the driver fender was replaced, and he told me why but i didnt really understand him, had a heavey mexican accent. I dont know, still debating whether to make the trip or not. How much would you guys offer him? start him out at 1,000? Just doesnt make any sense to me on how the interior can be in such horrible shape if it only has that low of mileage.

well here are the pictures the guy sent me from dallas. doesnt seem worth it to me, what do you all think? I talked to him over the phone and asked how much he is wanting and he said $1,700. i still think my first post is the best so far. i still need to go look at it, i might do that tomorrow.

haha, yea, person must of did a type o.

http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/1410457890.html Think its worth driving down to dallas to look? I live in oklahoma city so it will be a long drive. Guy hasnt responded to me yet.

I just called them and they said it just sold. damn.

thanks guys, She said she has the other hood louvre, just not on the car. You can kind of see it in one of the interior pictures. I am in no rush to get it back on the road when i buy a z. My price is around 1,000. I apparently must be pricing some of these cars to high. I guess if this one isnt the one, then ill keep looking, just that alot of people want more than what its actually worth. one guy wanted 3,500 for his, its not running, been sitting outside for who knows how many years with the rain, ice, and snow beating it, and it has alot of rust all around just by looking at the outside. Guy said he will never go below that, so i just said good luck, bye. there is another one , here is a link. http://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/cto/1365719495.html i looked at that one awhile back and it drives. I forgot the condition of the body, id have to go back and look again in more detail. but its missing alot of stuff if i remember. Just a side note, i dont really care if the motor runs or not, i will be replacing it with something else. just wanting the body in good shape.

Hello, Ive been a lurker on here for a few years, but now its time for me to buy my first z. There is a woman who is selling a 1978 280z local in my area for $2,000. The engine does not run, the z has been repainted to that green color along time ago. I just got off the phone with her not to long ago and asked if there were any major repairs to the body, she said no, just been painted. Here are some brief pictures that were taken by the owner i guess. I am going to go take a look at it and will be taken more detailed pictures this saturday and i will post them up in here, But from the looks of it so far in the pictures, it doesnt look that bad i am hoping, hehe. Just wanting to get some second opinions on it. I know what to look for, but if any of you have any other suggestions what to look for and what a fair price would be. I am thinking if maybe she will do 1,500 for it. thanks, Brent

was that welded up with the edges in a corner joint/c groove or was one sheet overlapping the other? very nice work.

on a color, i think you should go with the bmw m6 sepang bronze, looks really great, and id think it would look sexy on a z. if i ever get a 240z, which im planning on getting later on, i might go with this color. just a thought...... pics- http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=75465&highlight=sepang good luck with the project!
