My Free Car

[bryantatem]

I got a free 280Z about a month ago and finally got off my tail to do something with it. I am planning to pull the drivetrain to put into my 72 240. Charged up the battery and turned the key. It started. Previous owner said that it has been sitting for over a year. I ran it out of gas so I guess it is time to clean the tank and fuel filter. Looks like a good canidate for a fuel injected 240.

I guess I have a lot of 280 excess parts. Let me know if anyone is looking. I am keeping the driveline complete for myself and one fender for the 240. Good doors and some misc interior parts. Good summer teardown project.

Hi Bryan.

What year is the 280z?

( 1975-76 please, please, please! )

how is the dash top?? I need a new one. And how out the exterior mirrors? Rear hatch lock. Hmmm, I'll think of more in due time.

Its a 77-78. The dash is cracked of course and the driver's mirror is bad. I haven't looked at the hatch lock, but I can.

Nice to have free cars huh aint it bud.

A member here gave me one and i drove it 600 miles home!

thanks Bryan.

Thinking of anything else I need...........

a whole new frame would be nice! IMO. How about your rocker panels, or just list all the body panels you can spare that don't have rust! .

Yea, it is nice to get free stuff.

HMMM Parts, well, the frame is screwed. That is why I got it in the first place. It was hit pretty hard in the front. The doors are good and hatch is good. Some of this car will be donated to my 2 240's. They have their own problems.

Hey billramsey2002 a little off topic but I can't help it...saw your avitar and thought what a great T-shirt that would make...is there a larger version of it ??

bryantatem~~~You're much more motivated than my dad.....I aquired 2 240s for free last year and my dad was going to take the white one and build it up...well it's been about a year and it's still sitting in our garage waiting for him to touch it

Then it's time to give them to me!!!

I promise I'll give them a good home and all the attention they need.
