Posted August 27, 200915 yr comment_293069 Hey guys, I just bought two 81 zx's with 5 speeds, one runs and drives but doesn't stop, the other doesn't start, and an 83 (may be an 84) zx turbo at a police impound auction. The turbo car was t-boned on the right side and someone has removed the transmission but the rest of the car is complete. Got all of these for $100.00. Now the hassle is getting them home (110 miles) and getting them dealt with. I am keeping the tranny's and the complete turbo motor, but will have a bunch of other stuff to get rid of and likely in a hurry as I already have 4 Z's in the yard. The neighbors are going to poop square turds when I come rolling in...........So, I know I should keep the engines (for now), probably the rear disc calipers and so on, but what else. I am planning to put the turbo motor and 5 speed into my 77 and a 5 speed into my 72 (it already has an R200 with a 4:56 posi). Any other things I should consider swapping into either car? What should I keep for trading stock? I will have to ferry these home one at a time and will have an evening or two to cabbage the goodies before I have to haul them off. There are no titles and the cars are coming out of state. I haven't actually seen them in person but no reason to believe any of them are fixers, nor do I have the time to do so.I am going after the first one on Friday night. If anyone has an interest in something from these, let me know and I'll see what is there. This will end up something like a pick and pull, only you'll pick and I'll pull.Leonard Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/32982-police-auction/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
