I may have a Z rolling shell up for grabs in a months time.

1971 240z. BRG

comes with l28 block and tranny, suspension, wheels etc. Everything else stripped.

rust on rear panel ontop of tailights, and a tiny hole in front rails.

Floorpans a tad brown too!

Comes with whatever parts i dont need for my new Z!

not looking for that much.

In sydney..

Ok, first dibs on that, I can make it to sydney in 14 hours with a car trailer on if the price is right.

Wasn't me Z kid! I'm still looking for a good 240 shell, most I've looked at have been either too expensive or too far gone and only useful for parts.

Are there any other cars out there for under $3k? I'm looking to do it up to race, so an engine/trans isn't important but the body is.

Thanks,

Ross.

Oh, and I'm interested in that shell TRS if Z Kid finds something else, just PM me. Ta.

K no worries guys,

As i said before, nothing is definite as yet... should know for sure within the month.

Ross, I've found a RUST FREE shell for $3k firm in Sydney. The bloody thing is pretty far but if you are really interested I could possibly go and take pictures of it this weekend.

Not Ross, but close enough, 3k's probably a tad out of my price range at the moment, but what is your definition of shell, as many people have varied definitions, ie is it a car without a motor & transmission, or just a bare shell? Is this a private seller, or one of the local Z car mobs?

Well the deal on the new Z doesnt seem to be going too well...

So i may be interested in this 3k shell in sydney if Zkid doesnt go for it..

sounds pretty expensive for a shell!

I was actually speaking to Ross (dohc) since I thought it was out of your price range. Definition of shell is literal. Just a shell, no driveline, no interior (as far as I remember). It's from one of the local Z guys so it's not a private sale as such.

trs, yes it does sound expensive but if it's in the condition that he described it to me it's well worth it in my opinion.

For a bare shell, that's way more than what I'm willing to pay for it, but i guess the guy has to make a living some way. I'm not so worried about the rust in a shell, just the straightness of it. A few days playing with a welder is going to cost me a lot less than 3k.

Ozzy Guy,

could you PM me the details about the shell?

What state is it in at the moment.. i.e primer, paint?

for 3k id be expecting seam welding everywhere, 20 point rollcage and one of those racing girls who wipes down your helmet visor...

Hey That Ozzy Guy,

Thanks for the response to our plea for a decent Zed. $3k in Sydney is stretching the budget (once freight and transferring rego is brought in). I'm assuming it's out of rego etc?

Anyway, if you could post more details or email me with further details that would be great.

I've got a lead on a car locally for a similar price so a bit hesitant to jump at one interstate....

Do you know any numbers on this one? is it an early build? Does it have any history?

Cheers,

Ross.

I spoke to the business that owns the 3k shell and managed to get these details:

* rolling stripped bare shell

* still in original orange paint

* no apparent accident damage, straight panels, no apparent rust except in tailgate (2 spots)

*"$3000 not a cent less"

* They dont care if they dont sell it, because they wish to restore it themselves

translation: i dont think they want to sell the shell.
