260ruztmachine Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 They're having a 50% off interior sale but no money, no seats. Hopefully somebody sees this add and gets them for real cheap. The gray cloth ones are from a late 260Z, it hasn't been completely stripped yet and theres a handfull of 280Zs. ALSO! They have this car for sale, looks like a corvette mixed with a delorean and a 280ZX Look at pictures, I wonder if anyone knows who would do this to a car.

Octane Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Funny ****, the lotus espirit used corolla taillights and tha lambo diablo used 300z pop up headlights. What a waste of a car, its gonna end up being crushed and recycled. The McLaren F1, Bugatti EB110 and Several TVR models used Volkswagen Corrado mirrors.

You're welcome, good thing they're going to a z owner not the weather or rats. The 260Z has an intact dizzy, dunno if you got it or not.

Empire Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I think Bricklin was built here in Canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260ruztmachine Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 I think Bricklin was built here in Canada yeah, that's what I read online. Twas built "there" in Canada. I couldn't find (didn't research much) HP, torque, weight stats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Hawk Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I left the seats there. They are excellent condition seats but reupholstered in non-stock fashion (solid fabric wings and weave fabric centers). Good seats, just not what I'm looking for. I didn't pull them because I wasn't sure if anyone wants non-stock re-covered seats. There were also some good (not great) stock saddle seats in the other Z... was it an early 260?

BricklinGuy Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Based on the VIN... it originally had a 5.9L (360 ci) AMC 4 barrel V8 with 220 bhp... it's a 1974... they only made about 780 in '74 and there are only about 2800 total manufactured ever. About 1300 or so are still known to exist in some form. They weigh about 3950 lbs but were quicker than the Corvette of the same era stock. The 75 and 76 models had a 175 hp Ford 351 windsor 2 barrel... the only year that had cat converters was the 76. The 74 and 75 had dual exhaust and the 76 had single. The body on this one has been painted. Originally only 5 colours were made (other than prototypes and "the Chairman's car") and they all had colour-impregnated acrylic (like a bathtub... no paint) over fibrglass body construction... SV-1 was "safety vehicle 1" and the colours were safety white, safety orange, safety red, safety green and safety suntan. Safety was also in the frame with a full cage and side protection like no other of the day. They did crash tests head into a wall at 35 mph and the windshield didn't even crack. Quite a rare car and sad to see her in this condition... Mike P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BricklinGuy Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Oh ya, the tailights are identical to a DeTomaso Pantera... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BricklinGuy Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 If you want to see the potential (in one direction anyhow) of this rare old girl... check this out: http://cgi.ebay.ca/Other-Makes-/110612644526?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item19c10702ae ... should go for about $25K - $30K I would think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
