Sparks280zt Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Well, after being without a running, driving Z for 2.5 years, I started looking for one locally. Found nothing worth while, so I looked into CA cars because they seemed to be cheaper and in better shape. Found this car in Modesto, CA. I am the 3rd owner, 2nd owner owned it maybe 3 months and fell on hard times. So I got ahold of HBZ member GalloGuy05 and paid him to check the car out. He graciously went over and took a ton of pics and inspected the car. Rust free, everywhere, not a spot on this car. Came with a original window sticker and receipt for everything done to the car. So I spent $700 and had the car shipped to NC. Total investment after buying the car and shipping it from CA to NC..... $2400.00 Runs and drives perfect, had a reman motor put in 9 years ago, AC blows cold, even original radio. And who doesn't love plaid door panels and headliner... I have the following parts sitting in my extra apt. bedroom waiting.... -350z black leather seats -Rota Rb-r's from the group buy -240z bumpers -zg flares -Ground control coil overs And it is heading to the paint shop once 240hoke installs the zg flares.

Mayolives Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Looks like you really got your money's worth! I would jump on that deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galloguy05 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Im glad I could help! The car is so nice that I wish I was looking for one at the time so I could have found it and bought it. haha. But then again since I live here in california, I want to stay with a smog exempt Z anyways so this one wouldnt have been on my radar. It is by far the smoothest running, and most complete Z i have had the privilege of scoping out. I too plan to go the rota rb/zg flare build for my 75 so I/m excited to see how yours turns out. If this is going to be your build thread, Im definately subscribing! Good luck with your build sparks280zt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempered Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Nice find from Modesto! never saw that one driving around. There is a secret Z community running around our county, I just know it. I have yet to meet any of them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
