Guest draggin75 Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 I just picked up a pretty nice and still running 280Z with an automatic. Can someone tell me what kinda money I should be able to get out of the straight 6 and auto-tranny when I sell it? It has been sitting for the past 3 years but the engine runs. Everything is there but the dash is cracked pretty bad. I'll have pics of it Wednesday afternoon when I go pick it up. It was free and I am thinking about putting a small block in it with a 5 speed. Anyone with some good info on this particular car would be invaluble to me since I'm really a muscle car guy to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.INSANE Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Straight six is good to about 250hp N/A and about 350-400 Turbo Thats basicly with mild mods The engine itself has been taken to around 600hp turbo but thats a story for another day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z0wner Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 250 sounds a little high 160-190 more likely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumo Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Engine and Tranny $50-150 Why? it depends on where you are and how bad someone wants it especially the auto tranny. I have a 75 with an auto too and i think the intake is worth more than the whole package itself. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleMX Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 I gave mine away. If I hadn't it would still be for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 When I did my conversion I sold by 203,000 mile L28, '83 5-spd and 3.90:1 R200 as a set for $500. Unless someone is desperate for an automatic I don't see it being worth much. The engine, depending on condition and part of the country, might get you $200.

Guest Ron Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Give it away dude. Find someone in a Z club that needs a motor and trans and just give it away. The good will will take you a lot further than the 200 to 500 bucks you might make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iaconsultants Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 The engine might get you a few hundred if it runs okay, The automatic you will be lucky to 50 dollars for it if it is in really good condition. Those automatics are just so poor on mpg that once they go bad in a Z most tend to replace it with any thing else. That being said I have a Z right now with an automatic and when I pull it I am going to hope that the person that buys my engine will drag it off with the engine just so I can get rid of it at that time (still in the future at this time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest draggin75 Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Im still seriously thinking about selling the whole car right now..... I have more than enough going on right now like installing a new engine in my 240SX and getting my 68 Chevelle outa storage and parting out my 78 SS Elky. So as you can see........ I have enough going on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tony78_280z Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Crush into pieces please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iaconsultants Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 To bad your not closer to me or I might make an offer for the whole car. Either for parts for mine or to make it a good daily driver for someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
