A friend of the family has had this Z sitting in her drivway for 10 years, and after realizng that her husbands honey-do list no longer includes her old Z(as he backed into the front passenger fender) they just wanted it out of there driveway...

its getting delivered here hopefully in a week or so(gary IN, to Indianapolis)

Ive allready started getting the things needed for the swap, but i first have to fix the body, heres a bunch of pics:

MY biggest worry is the hole in the driverside engine bay(with the dollar). Its right by the strut tower and is a cruical spot. Im going to saw the hole and replace it with a piece of sheet metal but dont know if it will hold up..

also that bad rust spot is on the pannel im replacing..

if it were a 280 Id just keep walking, thing is up here the Zs are super rare, and the 260 is rare enough as is.

I lived in TX and there was 4 on my old street.. Junk yards had 6 or 7 of DIFFERENT styles.. up here they dont even know what it is...

I have a bunch of stuff from the 260 that I just cut apart, and pretty soon the stuff is most likely going to be junked do to a lack of space, so let me know if you need anything, and I can let you know if I have it.

 

AWESOME! I started calling junkyards and they just laughed at me..

I need only a few things for the body..

really I just need to know what you have..

what I know I need:

front passenger fender

possibly passenger side door.

Rocker pannels(both sides)

rear driverside lip for the wheel whell, i might be able to fix it but if I could just cut it.

driverside engine bay pannel(mines got a dollar sized hole in it)

the support bars that the bumper bolts too.

 

I cant think of anything else right now, we'll see when I start taking it apart.

BTW your in Chicago, im In Indianapolis and drive up toward there all the time..

 

where is the other guy mentioned located?

I am not sure if I am going to use the front fenders from the 260 and cut them for flairs, or use the widened fenders from my 240,

 

I will have an extra set of doors, but I am not sure if they will be any better than yours.

 

the rockers might be worth cutting out of my 240, but I will be keeping the ones from the 260.

 

I will have both rear wheel lips from the 260 once i cut the fenders to fit the widened rear end

 

and I have both sides of the engine bay from the 260.
