Wow, my wife would kill me.

Looks pretty solid from the looks of the pictures. The seller is right- 240Zs, particularly on the East Coast, are hard to find in this virtually rust-free condition (and at a bargain basement price). Someone on the East Coast can buy this California Z for the price of shipping it from California!

I wish I found this car back when I started my project. This would have been a way better starting point, and I probly would have been driving it by now!

I was looking at that car talked to the guy. He is about a hour from me. Anyone know if a 280z interior would fit in a 240z? I mostly mean all the plastic trim pieces as that car is missing all the interior panels. I have a whole extra set of interior for my 280 including headliner.

oh man, nice find!!

i wish that guy was in VA and i had a place to store the car. I can't wait untill i am done with school!!

Man I wish I:

- lived further south

- saw either of those before I bought my first

- had a bigger garage

- had a nice enclosed trailer

Both look like nice project starters

Just like that...

[westpak]

yeah I bought it but the scumbag sole it from under me, he said a Miami guy came up and bought it while I was doing BIN, luckily I got my deposit back, probably was dade280 who bought it.

I guess things worked out for the best since I found my other gem http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29498

I think you may have dodged a bullet on that one.

The hood is missing a chunk....how did that happen?

The hatch area has surprisingly "smooth" edges at the ends where the rust is known to begin. The engine compartment has two different coats of paint, yet everywhere else the flat black primer is evident? While the one underside shown looks clean, the other side isn't shown. Rockers, front and rear fenders, no detail pictures.

You did MUCH better with the other car, that one is a keeper and the costs associated with that one will be much less than with this one.

FWIW
