dreco Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 hello everyone. Just wanted to let you all know that i've been considering selling my 240z. I had sold the engine to install a LS1, but my priorities are beginning to change. Any ideas what my car might be worth as a shell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG58 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Well we'd have to know condition and what's on it, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreco Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 Well we'd have to know condition and what's on it, etc. it's a shell with a kickass paint job. Kaminari front, side and rear skirts from Motorsport auto, LS1 motor mounts from Johns Z cars. Interior stripped except for door skins and arm rests. no fuel tank. no radiator. Corbeau Seats. Front toyota calipers. Rear disc brakes (240sx calipers), poly bushings, tokico springs/struts. 3.9 limited slip diff. Short steering knuckles, sport tension rods. 432Z front grille. fiberglass bumpers front and rear. rear spoiler. Sparco Steering wheel. I have fiberglass ZG flares but have not put them on yet. New window and door seals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graves Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I would be very interested, pending price. Especially since you're in Texas. Could you PM me some photos? (in/out/engine) Any rust? Interested in trades? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris240zTurbo Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I have been over every inch of this car, I built an exhaust and transmission for this car when it was still L-powered. This is probably the nicest/cleanest shell I have seen in years and years, frame rails look as new, totally straight and rust free, in fact the entire car is super straight and as rust free as you will find anywhere, last time I saw the car (well over a year ago, and I think it's pretty much been in storage since) it was a show winner, really amazing paint on it too. Whoever buys it will be very happy with it, although I don't think anybody should and Dave should just get off his butt and swap the LS into it! I guess the market will set a price on it, but if you're looking for a ready to go car sans drivetrain (really it's much more than just a shell IMO) ready to drop in your choice of powertrain and go, you can't go wrong with this one.

sticky280zx Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Dave Call me if you are serious about this. Also this car used to be a show/track car and still looked great when he took it off the road. I too think that you need to just put a motor in it (even if its not an ls) Come on dave youre going to regret selling it or miss it if you do.

dreco Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 I just need to sell more of these Porsche's, Lamborghini's and Ferrari's. Seems ironic doesn't it? "someone buy this Ferrari so I can fix my Datsun!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Dreco - Good to see that you have finally committed to the dark side. It's been a long time since we had our cars at that meet in Irving. It must have been 6 or 7 years ago. If you have any questions I'm available and so is my son (DarthZ) to take photos or fill in some information holes.
