Just what the Doctor ordered. 1977 280z

[grannyknot]

The 280 just sold for $22,000 on BaT and now it is going to Dubai, http://www.tominiclassics.com/

I made my parts and materials cost back and a little bit for my labour, I'm happy boy.

Shopping list, another Z, bigger compressor, more lights in the shop, a new Tig welder?, maybe a spot welder too, ...

[wheee!]

Congrats! I see your car and look at my stack of invoices and realize I should have just bought a rebuilt car like yours or @zKars a long time ago...

Oh well, more fun in doing it yourself but waaaaaaay more money!

The quality of the build certainly showed. It was worth every penny and I'm happy for you.  Now, on to the next one!

And there she goes, off to the desert.

Time to start shopping again!

Likely the very last time that beauty will see snow on its tires ...

I am but there is not a lot being advertised right now except $4k rust buckets or $26k finished cars, neither of which are much fun.  Maybe in the spring.

Would you like me to help you spend your money?

What are you looking for and how far away can it be?

Ideally it would be very near where you live so you could look it over and so I could come for a visit.  Honestly I have enough projects going to keep me occupied until next winter but there is a car size void in my storage area that will fill up with junk if I don't get another Z in there.

Basically I'm looking for 70-78 Z without too much rust but that needs a complete resto,  how about you send Lily up to me and I'll have her back to you before spring driving season.

Wow! Don't tempt me!!

I would love to have you take up space here for a while!

I will start browsing though. Maybe I should just buy you a plane ticket for a month or so and you can come here and push Lily along...
