1970 240Z Dilema

[Nota280]

Hi guys,

I have a slight dilema here. A few hours ago a friend and I bought a 1970 240Z parts car. The VIN is in the 12,000's and it has an automatic with a SU carbed L28.

The dilema is about cutting it up. Check out these photos.

This has no major rust. There is not even minor rust we have found. Floor pans are intact along with the battery tray. The primer is showing surface rust. Would anyone be interested in the body? It would be a shame to cut it up.

By the way, the Blue 1975 280Z, funny thing there. I jacked it up and the rubber insulators were rotted away. Not something I have seen happen before.

Ultimately I need to stop looking at criagslist!

I'm sure someone would be interested in it, it's just a function of whether or not they'll give you what your interest is in it.

It would be a shame to see so clean a chassis go to the crusher or worse.

The drivers side floor board in the first photos is with the tar mat removed by the previous owner. He started scraping off undercoating all over it. We took a wire wheel to common rust prone areas. There was a small pin hole in the passenger side dog leg. I took a grinder and cut out about the size of a quarter to look. That was the largest area of rust. The shell is very solid.

We will be parting it out. The shell is free to anyone that wants it. We have a bill of sale from the owner. It was last registered in California in 1995.

That's what I decided as well. I'd love it, but 500 miles each way towing a car trailer with a big diesel-sucking pickup, plus a night in a motel just isn't worth it right now. Although the VIN is only 4 off from my yellow car, can't get much more compatible than that.

Do you still have this? If yes, please tell me more.
