yoko Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 82 280zx, excellent interiors, no rust, straight body except for few door dings, all stock, and 70k miles only.... got it for FREE An officemate/friend bought two cars and told me he doesn't have any extra parking for the old Z (he bought a 350z and a van) and asked me if I want it. I thought he was joking but after 2 weeks of asking me when I'm going to pick-up the car and telling me he will donate it if I will not take it I was shock. More shock when I saw the car since we didn't talk about what is it's current condition. edit: got it two years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paint's faded a bit (sun in Albuquerque) so I'm going to try to do the Home Depot Rustoleum/foam roller method... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest legendZ Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 1050, 73 240z. it was a deal i couldnt have missed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sr-FairladyZ Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Damn this is rather depressing, Being in the northeast the best i could find was a 71 Z with 100K miles with some typical rust but none the less a solid Z for $2600. It was a new mexico car (paint burnt down to the metal in some areas) up untill 2003 when i bought it in NJ with the sole intent of an SR-swap. I Think I liked mostly that it was automatic so i knew the unibody wasnt bashed on with shifting abuse for 36 years. Converted it to stick for like $60 in parts.

Guest Twistershift Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Paid $1500 for my '79 in 2001 I think? Drove it for 4 years and only ever changed the water pump. Best $1500 bucks I ever spent. Damn, why did I ever get rid of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunavut Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 $400 on Ebay, cost me 4K to get it roadworthy from at a well known shop, 3K to fly my familly to LA and another 2K to drive it across US with gas and hotels. However I worked it into a vacation so its mostly all a tax writeoff!, lol. just kidding NOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrism Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 $5.4k. L28 rebuilt with 10k miles on it. Drove it home with a couple of problems. 5 speed had some linkage issues and the T3 turbo was shot. Car had very little rust and the paint is in good enough shape that some minor touchup will be enough. Came with spare 4 speed transmission and non turbo exhause manifold. Decided to do swap rather than put time and money into the L28. If you look at most of the post on this thread, no one is talking about selling the car and for how much. Sounds like me, I want this car for a very long time. If the motor blows up, I,m gonna drop another one just like it back in. Thanks JDM. Thanks Japan for the high cost of your car inspections .

Diablo Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Bought 1974 260Z with a 280 engine. Paid $4,850 Cdn. Battery died the next day, needed new brakes (changed) and a whole lot of work needed in the interior department. Hoping to do a SR20DET swap soon.
