evergreenZ Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 My nephew said he would sell me his 1974 260z and 1978 280z for $600. The 260z has no rust and a complete interior that is in decent condition but its not in the car. The motor and transmission out of the 280z is in the 260z. The 280z is mostly for parts but restorable. He also has a posi 3.73 rearend but he wants extra for it. I am wanting to build an L28ET so is this a must have or is it going to have no benefit? If it will benefit the car how much is it worth? So i guess im asking is this a good deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumpetRhapsody Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 If it indeed has no rust, that's a great deal, but look hard for it in the usual places. No rust is rare. If you're wanting to go turbo I'd advise the posi, it's nice to have for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evergreenZ Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 how much is the posi worth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumpetRhapsody Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 People try to get anywhere from $300-750 depending on who you ask and how good it looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woldson Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Are you looking to resale or restore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurnoutZ Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Thats not bad at all for no rust... But check the floor pans. Lots of carpet hidden rust down there usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollum Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 People try to get anywhere from $300-750 depending on who you ask and how good it looks. I'd do quite the favor to ever get a deal like $300 on a R200 Long nose LSD (the posi in question in this thread, basically the only LSD unit we're all hunting for). Lately they've been on the rise, and even in the recent economy they still havn't really "come down" in price. Simply too many of us are looking for a limited item. It's almost more cost effective to rebuilt a non LSD with a power brute center. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/R200-LSD-Differential-510-240z-260z-280z-300zx-Turbo_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33731QQihZ002QQitemZ120275083460QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW As to if the cars are a good deal. If you trust the nephew AND his knowledge that'd be required for his statements to be true (such as "rust free") then yes, it's a good deal.
