1977 280z

[280m]

I just got this car about 5 weeks ago and have it running smooth. The car had sat for awhile and I still have odds

and ends to fix. Suspension, and some engine work (compression lil low) looks like a short block rebuild. Runs

good just not as strong as it should. Just need a 5 speed transmission!

Nice car. I hope my '77 looks that good someday.

Very nice Z! I am about to purchase a 1977 280z thats been sitting for awhile now. I havent seen it yet but I have plans to go later this week. The owner says it only needs TLC to get her back on the road and that there is some type of small ignition problem. Do you or have you heard of ignition problems with this car? Anything else to look out for when I go to check it out? I want to avoid a money pit. Thanks for any help

I have heard several people having ignition problems with the z cars. However, some of the others in this forum

could help you with that. My advice, watch for rust! Some cars I looked at had way to much in the normal places

or underneath on frame rails. If you could get a compression check on the motor, would greatly benefit you as

well. I personally looked at 10-12 different cars before I made my purchase. The more you can drive the better,

but sometimes that can be tricky with these cars, my search was over a year due to the limited amount of good

cars that are available for sale.
