ArnZ Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I would say $500 , but the sunroof brings it down to $300, that is if the rust is not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedNeckZ Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Take this with a grain of salt. The car can be fixed. It is only going to cost you time and a lot of money. I don't know your stadus in life. So I will give it as straight as I can. From what I can see in the pictures you can fix most of the problems. Even the front fiberglass spook can be fixed. But it can be expensive if you don't know what you are getting into. It may take up to four years to just get it started. Only you can find out how bad it really is. If it has a lot of rust, you may want to look into the local college for schooling in auto body repair and do most of it while going to school. If you are just looking for sharp car that runs. Keep looking around. I found a 1977 280Z for sale in Lumberton, NC for only $1100.00. It has a hit in the right rear fender near the rear brake lights and needs a paint job. But it has a lot of speed equipment on it already. It was a great deal, only my wife would not let me get it. Claimed I had to many already at the house (two complete cars and parts for eight more around the area). If you are interested in something like this. Go to the Triad Z car club site and look in the classified section it is listed there. I don't think he has sold it yet. You will get a great car and a lot of parts (ie doors, misc equipment for it and a spare engine). It has a fuel cell and racing seats. Engine runs strong. Has lowering springs and struts. You have to see it. I fell for it right a way. I have fixed a few now and can say that it can get under your skin. Hope you can find one for you to try.

RedNeckZ Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Made a mistake, it is not the Traid club, but the traingle Z car club. It is listed there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSM Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I would say $500 , but the sunroof brings it down to $300, that is if the rust is not too bad. Yeah... the sunroof really kills it. I'd tell him he should give you 100 bucks to tow it away for him. Serioulsy, unless it is under 150, I would stay away from it. I learned this lesson hard with a Jeep I had.

JMortensen Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Onehundredoctane, next time put a title on your post so that people will know what it is about without having to open it. I've changed this one for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest onehundredoctane Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 ^ thanks man, sorry about that. my friend is asking 600 for it, I might be able to get him lower on the price, but from what i heard if I part out the engine I can make some money back, any comments are appreciated, I'm a die hard Nissan fan, and looking to get into the older stuff. btw is there an introduction thread? I thought about introducing myself and posting pics of my other project, and old ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 You can introduce yourself in the non-tech forum, or you can start a project thread for your old projects. Either way works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chiropractor Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Sunroof is a deal breaker for me, but if you're looking to part it out or scavenge some items off of it, you may be doing ok to get it for $500 if it runs. BTW, does it? also looks pretty rusty. Crazy thing is, I bought my first 280 for $300, it looked like hell, had some rear crash damage, engine problems, and I thought I'd fix 'er up. At the time I had a very nice Rx7 GSLSE. I found myself driving the 280 more often because it was so much fun to drive. I soon ditched the "project" and bought one that was in much better shape in the $3000 range. You can bypass a lot of headache by passing on this car...(unless parts is all you want) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I'm going to go against the grain here. Doesn't seem too bad. I'd consider buying it if their isn't excessive rust/body damage. The sunroof doesn't take anything away for me as long as it was just a cruiser and you weren't planing on doing any "hardcore" racing. In the end, you could always buy another Z for the same price and fix one of them while keeping the other one for parts, and eventually sell the other one as scrap/a rolling chassis. However, please note that I no nothing about Z cars and I have just recently been attracted to them. So buying it might very well be a mistake, rendering my post nearly pointless.

Forrest Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Is that a ADR venom 17x7 wheel in the 3rd pic? If so, ask him how much he wants for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
