_Donovan_ Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I can sell you mine. It is a '76 280Z. It has a '94 LT1/4L60E in it. It is almost finished. The engine is in, runs great. I need to install the brake booster and I have it brand new waiting to go on. reinforced frame rails. Minimal rust on the body. Some body work does need done but it is not that much at all. The ECU has already been reprogrammed. I could drive it around DD if I wanted to, once i replace the brake booster. I am looking to change what I am doing is the only reason I am selling. Initially I just wanted to change to an LS but now planning on buy another forum members car. But the thing is, I am willing to sell it all off for a great price, well under what your budget is. Also I am in Maryland if you would like to come check it out. I will be putting my for sale post up tomorrow for the complete car. I already have a post up about the drivetrain. If you are serious then we need to talk. I have a great car that works fine and will come out way under your budget. I know you are looking for a manual but with the money you would save you can easily install a manual in after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Donovan_ Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 You are actually less than 2 hour drive from me. Honestly I hope you see this because I am willing to get rid of this for an insane price if I can get rid of it soon. Moving to Cali on Monday and if I can sell instead of shipping it out there then I am willing to take a bit of a hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsommer Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 If you're interested, it will be completed and probably up for sale in the spring. http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/63391-resurection-now-becoming-1tufzg-z/ I used to own a Scarab, sold it over a year ago, initial asking price was $25K sold for less but you'll be hard pressed to find one in the condition mine was in for a "good" price.

colerongo Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I have a 76 280z with LS1/T56 well sorted. It is my daily driver/only car that my wife and I both depend on for everything. It isn't posted for sale, but I would sell it if someone was interested. Or if you have a Subaru or VW TDI or something else worth having, I'd be into trading. Let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notqwik Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Beautiful car IdahoZ. Very nice and priced well. I REALLY tried to find the right Z. Looked for almost two years.

notqwik Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 You did good with that budget , but you are missing the Z magic and uniqueness of a V8 S30 Did not stick to the 240z budget. Went a bit over. Agree it doesn't have the z magic, but then it does have a factory warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
