Gorgeous! I can definitely understand wanting to go back to stock body lines. There's beauty in the simplicity. Congrats, Clive! And this may be the final version of EvilZ...but you can always call the next series of monsters by a new name haha. P.S. - The original EvilZ (gray '73) will probably be for sale soon as a project. I unfortunately just don't have the time for it.

My old '75 280z. Paint code 302: Leaf Green. Older repaint, but still looked decent. Lots of cool tones in different light.

Clive, just saw this. I couldn't find it on the NY craigslist or the LI craigslist. Is it still up? If so, can you send me a link? Thanks

Got the grille, windshield and even a 240 front bumper. (Thanks, Dave!) Coilovers/shocks taken care of. Still looking for a 5 speed, airdam, BRE spoiler....

good point, thanks! I'll look into that.

I'm looking to buy some parts for my next Z project. I'd rather the parts be local (I'm located in Corning, NY) but I wouldn't mind traveling a little bit to pick stuff up. Not to CA though! - Coilovers for a '75 280Z. Not looking to spend a ton of money. If I don't find something soon, I'm just going to buy Ground Control coilovers and new shocks. - Shocks to use with the coilovers. (Illuminas, AGX, Koni, KYB etc...) - MSA Type 1 Front air dam, vented, urethane - BRE style rear spoiler - 240 Grille - Front windshield in good condition - Larger than stock sway bars - Strut tower braces - '82 280ZX 5-speed with 0.745 final gear - F54 block (for a buddy) Please include pictures with descriptions if possible. Thanks!

how many miles on the donor car with the blingin' rims?

Got a shortblock for sale cheap if anyone's interested... (Upstate NY) Also have a P-79 head at home on Long Island. http://rochester.craigslist.org/pts/2270368857.html

zip, thanks for the response. Why to a Canadian buyer? Because there aren't as many examples in this shape available to them? I'll try to get an engine shot soon. Any other opinions?

any ideas?

I know someone who is looking at a '71 240Z to restore, and I wanted to get some feedback as to what you guys thought the car was worth. He asked me, and I wasn't 100% sure being it's a one-owner, low mileage car. I'm used to buying $1-3k Zs that are nowhere near this nice. It's a original owner car, with only 56k on it. It has been off the road for ~20 years. I'm not sure (yet) if it runs or not. From what I can tell it's been in storage in NY. Looks pretty good from the pics. The interior could use some love (judging by the seats) but not terrible by any means. Looks like a later year production model, judging from the circular Z emblem on the quarter. A repaint would most likely be in order. So what do you guys think? Let's assume it has minimal rust, it'll run after being gone through (fresh gas, oil, etc), and it's all original (#s matching and such)... I would put it around $3-5k depending on the rust situation. But that's kind of a shot in the dark, which is why I wanted to get some more opinions. And what should this be worth after a full resto? ~$10k? Thanks!!
