dladow Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Here is a freebie in Monroe WA, although it is a 280 shell. http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/zip/574066325.html David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z Speed Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Hey JustinOlson, here are few Z's I have found on craigslist while browsing. You may or may not have seen some of these, but I thought I would give a heads up anyway. One looks to have a "ragtop". It looks pretty good, but if you are going for over 1000+ hp, I'm not sure it would be a good fit. It does come with a complete spare (supposedly running) 280z motor.... 1972 Datsun 240z (fi 280z motor w/ spare) - $1500 http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/car/573174959.html This one states it is a signature series. States it has 81k original miles too. Look like some rust on the bumpers, maybe more? Price seems steap for your needs, but if it is rust free could be a good find.... 1970 Datsun 240z signature series - $5500 http://seattle.craigslist.org/skc/car/573123966.html Here is a "74" that states it has rust free sheet metal except for the roof and surface rust. Pretty cheap and is somewhat stripped down. Could be useful for what you are looking for?.... 74 260z part car - $300 http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/car/569994908.html Here is a "72" not much info, but states it runs and title in hand. Could be worth looking into.... 1972 datsun 240z - $2500 http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/car/570016493.html I hope at least one of these may help. There were a couple of others as well. One looked really good, but had a 8,800k tag too. Good luck..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinOlson Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 I was interested in this one until I noticed it had a rag top http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/car/573174959.html Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73DatsunZ Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Even though its a rag top, I think it could work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z Speed Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I was interested in this one until I noticed it had a rag top http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/car/573174959.html Justin You could aways re-fabricate a new roof for it. I'm sure you're going to have a 12-18 point roll cage installed that would provide support as well, so it could work..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I dont get it. What is the rag top? Like a partial convertable/sunroof? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73DatsunZ Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I think it looks cool honestly. Probably not practical at high speeds but meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinOlson Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 I just really want a straight s30 that is pre 75 so that I never have to worry about DEQ regardless of where I live. I will be doing a cage that is good for 8.50's. I just don't want to have to fix a ton of rust issues if I don't have to. I'm not in a huge rush. I will wait until I find the right chassis to put the motor in. Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughdogz Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 My buddie's 53 VW beetle had one of those ragtops (and turn signal flags that would swing out of the b-pillars when you pulled the lever ). The top actually worked pretty good, it just slides back on rails like a curtain. The one on the Z doesn't look that tight to me though.

hughdogz Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I'd jump on this one for $900 Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
