DavyZ Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 Duuuuuude, you scored BIGTIME!!!!!!! WELL ALRIGHT!!!! Sweeeet Z! With all that great stuff. Patience is a virtue and generally rewards you--CONGRATS!!! A VERY NICE CAR! Your sig is totally raw too! Just make it a wee bit smaller and you're good to go. Congrats again on an awesome deal. This is definitely one to record as one of the great deals of all time! David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 I just saw your repost of the interior, so I had to post again! The interior is totally pristine in that car--man, what a deal you made. Go ahead, rub it in my face, maybe there's one for me out there once I dump my stinky 260Z David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racin_Jason Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 WOW...very,very,very nice ride! You STOLE that for $3000 partner! Has lots of nice bits on it aswell. Nice job on that deal. Where are you from anyway? Congrats, Racin (POS 240) Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racin_Jason Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 BTW..i suppose it 'might' be my crappy DARK monitor here at work buuutttt...That doesnt look like a turbo L6 to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPMS Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 I'm sure he means that it's an L28 turbo *block*, but those delicious triple Webs make up for any lack of turbocity, IMHO. HL, I'd think you could rebuild and sell the other two motors for a good head start on financing your conversion, assuming they're not damaged internally. You scored BIG time! Congratulations - you should feel like a king right now. Say, looking at the pic of your disgustingly clean interior, is that a 1970 console? What are those two long rectangular things in front of the soft, cushy-looking, uncracked (can you feel my envy?) armrest? It's not in the right place for the choke - hand throttle, maybe? Enjoy!

Guest Anonymous Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 hey guys, thanks 8) fist of all, yes its a 280t blosk..but they put 240 heads or somethign ot keep the compression ratio high since there is no turbos. also, i was going to ask you guys what those rectangualr pieces were. theres really no electronics in the console..so nothing works there. also another question - near the steering wheel, there is a switch that says 'flash' and it looks like a toggle switch...what is that? i was thinking it oculd be a good place to hook up NOS or something 8) i do plan on selling all 3 of the engines sometime so i can get my v8. 8) cya later, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike kZ Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 Nice car! Those slots in the console look like where you'd put the ends of you seat belts in, so they don't fall between the seats. The toggle switch is for you emergency flashers ------------------ http://members.tripod.com/~SnowSurfer/mikekz1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fast Frog Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 As one who has restored several Zs, sold a couple and kept 5 including my ZV8, I commend you on your find and purchase!! The shell alone with it's great exterior is worth is alone worth $2000+. But with the great interior included plus the 3 engines-WOW, what a buy!! Good luck with your project(s)!!

pparaska Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 WOW! Hell of a deal. Sell all the motors and you'll probably have gotten the car for free plus money! It might bring more money if you sold the weber setup separately. That car looks great. BTW, I used to have those wheels on my Z - Michael (Ol) has them on his Rat powered Z now. BTW, who makes that steering wheel? Nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 cool. i have those wheels and the motorsport wheels that are the panasport formula wheels. the steering wheel says grant in script..so im guess a company called grant? 8) btw its for sale if u want it, hehe. im selling a lot of the stuff. both sets of wheels, the carbs, the engines, if anyone want shtem.let me know, hehe. the other set of wheels are in great condition also. cyas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Shasteen Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 Thief! SOMEONE CALL 911! We got a thief in the house! Man you literally Stole that car! The body w/that interior alone is worth the $3k; w/the engines to boot! THIEF! Congrats on the purchase/heck of a deal! I paid $2.2k for my car & bought it from the original owner w/all receipts from purchase order upto the date I bought the car: & my car is not as nice as yours! Mine is straight but not pristine! I like that color & the clean interior. Really a great buy! Kevin, (Yes,Still an Inliner) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLKMGK Posted March 23, 2001 Share Posted March 23, 2001 I just sold a set of Webers on E-Bay from my car - I got nearly $400 for them Yours are cleaner but no air cleaners - you should easily get at least what I did I'd bet. If you go that route make sure you set a reserve as with a set that nice you'll want to be sure to get your money's worth. I've sold a few bits now including a 5speed trans and an R200 tonight. My Panasports are still for sale though - seems the buyer decided to go 5lug after seeing my car. He'll have fun drilling the rear I'm sure (shrug). Good deal man, I think you managed to do even better than I did, Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
