dsommer Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 First of all remember it's a 2+2. If you really want a 2+2 get it (personally I don't care for them but don't let ME sway you one way or the other). The car seems to be all there the problem is it's in PA which raises the dreded RUST issue. I had/still have a rusty car, I abandoned ship on it due to rust however for $600 that I gave for it it made a wonderful parts car. I sold parts on E-bay and to local Z-er's, nabed the R-200 from under it and easily got my $$$ back out of it. The paint IMHO would not be the deciding factor of purchase or not, hell how many of us have a paint job that's not even that decent??? Just remember it's a 2+2, either you love em or ya hate em. Get what YOU want. ds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BigWhyteDude Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 the only reason im thinking about a 2+2 is im 64 300 pounds i want sone more space but i donno. I know one thing, i want a 280. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsommer Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 2+2 is you BigWhyteDude Yeah clearance may be an issue... BTW There's been this guy picking on me could you swing by and... Just kidding. Have you driven a 280 2+2? I know somebody that may be willing to sell theirs in North West Arkansas. I could ask him. It's been sitting for a while and the guy is pulling his hair out as to why it won't run, he thinks it the cold start injector. He asked me the other day if I still had the twin SU carbs off my 240, Hell I offered hime the entire engine for $400 he passed, another local came and got it with a clean radiator electric fan, Crane ignition and a 280 dash and a few other goodies for $400. So ya want me to ask him how much? ds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 "Limited slip rear differential" in a 2x2 ? haha I think this guy is slightly confused, unless he has indeed swapped in the lsd *doubtful* but who knows... if you look at the rear end picture, on the rear quarter-panel near the tail lights you can see severe rust or sign of rear impact crumple of the body imo, you can get a better 280Z then this for comparable money...

Guest BigWhyteDude Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 thanks for the offer to ask him but thats a lill far from Ga and i would really like to see te car befor i buy. BUT, if you guys know anyone in Georgia souther SC or Northern FLa that wants to sell a 75-78 280z let me know please. I have one more question for now for yall, Are the 84-86 300zx's about the same size as the 280z on the inside? If so then i will have no problem fitting in it. My uncle has an 86 300 that i love to dive when i can. (which is not often enough i have to say). Any who, thanks again. L8er Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Flash Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 Hey big white dude, grab a copy of the Auto Trader and go looking for that Z! I live in NW Georgia in the Rome area and there are always some Zs in the trader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 I'm 6'2" and have no problem fitting in a non-2+2 Z, FWIW It depends more on torso and leg length. I'm 6'3" and can't fit in my neighbor's miata w/ hardtop on, but he is the exact same height and drives it daily with no problems. BigWyteDude, I would recomend finding local 2+2 for a test fit.

jt1 Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 Whyte Dude, there was a LT1 Z for sale in the Atlanta area about a month ago. I saw it on ebag or zcar.com one, don't remember which. You might search and see if it's still available. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
