The 1977 280z isn't solid by the sellers description, but he did not list it as a 2+2 (which it is) I'm not interested in a 2+2. Seller says that the interior is in good shape if anybody is interested. He also lowered the price (275$) if anybody wants to check it out link is here car is located in Cumming, Georgia

Still working with the guy who has the rusted black one in the first post. Also found another Z that looks to be in better shape for a bit more $ that I am trying to get in contact with the seller.

Im gonna get a Z one way or another !

BTDT. Take my advice, go for the least rust you can find and afford, and don't worry about the engine or transmission. Dropping on a different L28, or converting an automatic car to a stick is nothing compared to dealing properly with rust. Paying a couple hundres more up front to get a better body will pay off many times over, even if it has no engine and transmission in it at all.

Yep, totally agree with you Arne, just found another 280 for a bit more $ but is in MUCH better shape than the other two. Where were all these Z's when I was looking a year or two ago?
