Pics of my new Brittny 1978 280Z

[WingZr0]

OK all, I got pics of my new Brittny 280Z !

More pics, LINK-> http://s235.photobucket.com/albums/ee59/partnateam/Brittny/

2 Seat 4 speed with the original window sticker, all maninence records and

sold here in Racerville,CA of all places!

(FYI Racerville is 45 miles North of Sacramento)

Didn't even know there was a Datsun dealership here untill I saw this in the windw sticker.

Came through the Port of San Francisco and even has factory installed A/C !

The PO parked her in 05 when the tags expired cause he had 2 other daily drivers and a

mortgage at the time so she's been sitting since then till a month ago.

Sadly though I have to sale her now here listed in the classifieds for family

reasons . But Ruby came home yesterday :D !

I'm keeping her

Well anyway I was going to turn this into a red interrior Z and give her

new white paint and silver "Datsun" Cursev Bagdes inplace of the

280Z badges on the fenders but what can you do.

Has both original California Blue Plates and all new brakes and other stuff from

Les Schwab, just befor she was parked, which made her a deal when I bought her.

With the new steering rack, rack and pinnion steering gear, tie rods and new

Master Cylinder the total bill came to $1600 plus! All this done by the PO who

kept the reciepts

If anybody's looking to give her a new home or know of someone who can

take care of a well documented Z please be sure to let me or them know.

Hate to see her go so soon but other things prevail.

I found a litttle skinny Green book that came with it also in the sevice manual bag from the

dealership, seems to by part of another sevicing manual schedual or such.

My 77 didn't come with one of these books and never heard of them disscused before.

Was it a 1978 only book?

In it is written the date of sale and other info on the inside front cover, will post pics

of this book soon as I can.

Got some details mixed up on the ownership though.

Turns out according the mantinence records the original owner owned it for at lest

21 years to 1997 and lived in Chico, CA.

Somewhere between that time and 2001 it was sold to the 2nd owner who gave to the

last guy in Feb '01.

Pretty amazed at all the history reading

Got some guys coming to look at it this weekend, hopelfully she'll find a new home

My 78 had all the paperwork including the warranty and service booklet, guarantee card, etc. everything that came with it new. Most Datsuns came with all of that including your 77. I don't know how far back but I seem to remember getting all of that with my 70 and my 72.

She's still around so I lowered the price a good bit.

My Z only came with the white book and not the green and no service records at all.

Will get those book pics posted soon.

Hi WingZro,

Any chance I could get you to post a printable photo of your original window sticker? I'd be really interested in seeing the window sticker from a Z that was only a few VIN numbers different than my own Z. I'd like to print it off and stick it in my folder of interesting Z stuff.

Thanks in advance!

This is my frist time selling a classic car but is it normal for people to say

there coming by to see a car, give a time for that day (like 3pm), and

then not show up?

Not that I mind but I sat aside a nice chunk of my days for at least 4 guys

that were no shows and never bothered to call back to say they weren't coming.

Worse part of all I even lowered the price to $1500 for solid car and

she's still here Am I missing something?

There are always a lot of flakes on Craigslist. I heard it all selling my guitar stuff.... i'm getting paid in a week i'll call you... I'll call you tomorrow... I'll meet you at such and such time.... Will you take 5% of what you're asking for it.... Will you hold it for me...

Someone will come around eventually that isn't a flake. The law of CL as harsh as it is... first come, first serve, cash talks.

No doubt, thats the same I've been getting.

I lowered the price to $1,000 one last time so I can

get her sold ASAP.

Hope it pans out as the car is way worth more than that being

rust and all structurally.

If it were'nt for me trying to help on some medical bills I would

wait and get what it's worth.

Drained the tank and like I suspected old GASoline.

Needs to cleaned as it was a little gooey in there.

She stills cranks so she will run thats for sure IMO.
