Need To Say Goodbye To My 260Z Project

[matria]

Hello,

 

I started a 260z project 11 years ago and it is time to let go.  I had high hopes and am probably 95% there but the cops are on me to get the car out of my driveway by the end of the month. I don't have a garage (my shop) and no other place to store it.  And I don't have the energy to finish it.

 

I am going to part the car out if I cannot find someone wanting to finish it.  I have lot's of extra parts also.  Located in Contra Costa County, N. California.

 

Complete car including:

260Z block rebuilt, N42 Head, 3 screw SU's with Z-Therapy bodies rebuilt using replated parts; replated hose clamps, rods, springs, etc.; polished valve cover; set of Konig Rewinds Graphite 7x15 with Faulken ZE-512 205/60 15 (no miles); 4 & 5 speed trans; 3.90 rear-end; Y70 flywheel (resurfaced); half-shafts with new U joints; custom Al drive shaft; 3 core Rad.; carpet kit; old school rear louver; 240Z block with head; disk brakes; Air Dam; JDM tail-lights; etc, etc.

 

I don't know what prices yet but negotiable.  Most items are still installed on car.  There are some really nice parts on the car.

 

If you are interested in anything, please PM me with your phone number and I will be in touch.

 

This has been such a great journey and sorry it is ending this way for now.  I will get another one but this time it will run before I purchase it.

 

Thanks everyone,

 

Skip Dawson

Any idea what you might want for the whole project?

Im located in fresno, and my son (now 18) is looking for a project. Might be worth a drive to Walnut Creek ;0)

Interested in wheels and possible interior parts.  I'm close enough to swing by on a weekend

What will it take to make a runner?

Fuel tank install, driveshaft, bleed brakes, add fluids & exhaust.

 

 

In addition to what I already listed, when I got the car, I took it completely apart. Every nut, bolt, wire, etc. was removed. Suspension parts cleaned, painted and reassembled with mostly new parts (spindle pins, Moog ball joints, etc.). ST springs, Takiko Blues inserts. Full Poly suspension, front to back. Professional Yellow Cad plating for most items if it came that way, i.e., hose clamps, the wiper arms under the cowling and the metal plates that hold the rubber insulators in the engine bay. New Interstate battery. New Emergency brake cable, new Headlight switch. All bulbs in car replaced, many extras. Fuel tank professionally sealed inside, new sending unit, vent hoses and filler hose. New stereo & speakers (still have original radio). speakers wired up but not installed. New windshield & gasket, new gasket on hatch glass. 

 

If anyone is interested in the car, I would like to sell everything I have for the Z at once including all of the extra parts-240 motor and 4 spd trans, SU adjustment tools, spare hoses, gaskets, electrical parts, A/C parts, engine stand and manuals.  I have 15-20 pages of parts I have bought.

Its a shame to come this close and have to move on.

If you still want to finish her up, I would be willing to lend my garage to you for a few weeks. I'm not next door, but close enough to trailer her down. If you realy have no intrest, it is probably best to sit down and get a realistic $$ amount.

All sold thanks to Kurbycar32. It was a pleasure to meet you and your dad and hope you feel you got a good deal. Very sad to see her being towed down the road but I think she will get completed this time. I will be sending you PM's as I think of things.

Thanks again to everyone for your support and offers of help.

Oh yes the cops...protectors of our community. Sorry for your luck and your denial of freedoms that we lack in some places of this country. It just makes me mad they can't just leave a guy alone who is doing something honest.
