Thanks for the links but I am really only interested in a 240 for this build as that is what my dads was.

I have scoured CL in the PNW and have not really found anything else that looks like a good deal. This one has some potential too....

Although I really do like the flared 280 that is rust free.

OK so I have talked to the owner of the rust free 280z with the flares, rims, spoiler, air dam, etc. I am close to pulling the trigger on this one. 1978 datsun 280z flared Rust free

Would $5k be a good deal on this car? I just don't know that much about the value on the 280z vs 240z.

Help!

Nate,

I have a California Orange 76 280Z with early 240 SU's. It's mostly stock and runs.

If your going to mod it anyhow, doesn't really matter then. Take the car with the less rust.. a " solid " body is half the work already.

I'm not saying the car is good or bad, but you gotta love the description "could use a wax tho" when it has multiple colors + primer on it.

[SERE Nate]

I thought the same thing but the Grey is actually silver paint and not primer.

I am thinking $1500 for the car. $3-4k for astetics and suspension, $1k for the paint and body, and then $5k for the powertrain. If I can create a nice clean reliable driver with 300 hp for under $12k I would be very happy.

If you are thinking only $1000 for body and paint, are you doing it all yourself? Because the cost of that at a shop will take a major hit in your budget, way more then just $1000
