Recommended Posts

Looking for 240z, v8, manual, clean, very well sorted ready or near ready to drive. Will be a 2-3 day a week driver. Needs to be rust free. Perfect car would be white/blk, w/AC, no body mod's (flairs etc), pretty much stock looking with with a bad ass secret lurking under the hood.

 

Budget is 15-20k, saw a scarab that went for about this price a couple of months ago ..... looking for something similar.

 

What do you have?

 

Thanks!

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.

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.

If you're interested, it will be completed and probably up for sale in the spring.

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.

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

I just picked up a 78 280z that's white, rust free, and total stock body lines other than a 240 bumper and front air dam. Current running on ls1 with t56 and would even throw in an extra motor for the right price. Text me at 50222913 two seven

Beautiful car IdahoZ.  Very nice and priced well.

 

I REALLY tried to find the right Z.  Looked for almost two years.  Finally gave up this week.  Pulled the trigger on this little gem.  No longer in the market.
