Bansheeboy11 Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Its a 78 280Z 5 speed with fuel injection. The body is decent, a little rust on the quarters and the under carrage is a bit rusty and boogered up from sitting in grass. The left front frame rail by the engine is twisted from a hit the the car is straight. The lower center frame rails ave dents from bottoming out. Is it worth $700? The guy says it runs, needs a clutch. I dont know but im kinda new to buying Z's.... [/img] [/img] [/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavyZ Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Too much of a "project" to resurrect from the dead. Only for parts...only for parts... Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansheeboy11 Posted May 28, 2007 Author Share Posted May 28, 2007 Yeh, i would have bought it, but i dont have the time and money, you know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 -78' 280Z "Devil Z"-*coming soon*Intercooled T4 Turbo -Custom intake plenum -*coming soon*custom turbo headers and exhaust "DZ" Does that mean you bought one or are those your plans once you buy one? You made a good choice not getting it I think. At some point its worth just waiting and saving some more money to get a nicer Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point its worth just waiting and saving some more money to get a nicer Z. agreed. rust is a big nasty. unless you have metal working skills, rust is one of the few things that need to be taken care of by a professional (unless you're willing to learn) my $.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TeamNissan Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 You should have got the 280 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilC Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I saw that car on criagslist....then Ebay...started from $1500 and now I guess they are down to $700. That is def a $100 parts car because it will cost money to tow it away? Are you still looking for a Z? Also did you go see this Z in person?

Bansheeboy11 Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 Yeh, i put in on the trailer when i saw the rot underneath it...I told him id give em $300, cause its uber-beat up. He wants 700. Its been for sale everywhere but when people look at it in person, its pretty bad... Im gonna wait till im done with college when i get a z. I have the GSX now, its ungodly fast, lol.
