Posted April 8, 200816 yr comment_243377 So my parents are starting their own little farm, and they wanted a small farm truck that they could use around the house. Well I found a 1975 Datsun Pick up through a guy at school. He said he knew this old man that had it and wanted it gone. I told dad about it and he was interested. So we go and look at the truck. The owner, who happened to be a very nice old man . said he wanted 500.00 for the truck. Dad and I both almost past on the deal as the truck has allot of rust and God only knows whats wrong with the wiring. We started to leave but the old man stopped us, he obviously really wanted the truck gone. he said " I will sale you the truck for 250.00 and I'll through in this old car that's in the barn for free" Well the car in the barn was a 1975 Datsun 280Z. At trans very little rust. Two small marble sized dents in the drivers door. Interior is shot, as well as the engine. Car dose have new brake cylinders on the back and new rotors up front. new starter in box and a freshly ground cam. So feeling a little bad I gave him the cash and towed her home I cant seem to upload and pics....

April 8, 200816 yr comment_243402 SCORE! If you feel bad, get her running, then the wind in your face will dry your tears Actually, I kind of feel bad, too. But if the engine was shot, it's better that someone who will take care of her now has her.

April 8, 200816 yr comment_243406 Don't feel bad. If the truck runs at all it'll probably make a good yard/farm truck and the Z is parts. Sounds like a good deal to me for $250.
