980mak Posted January 20, 2002 Share #1 Posted January 20, 2002 Well.. I'm in the middle of building up the '79 ZX as a good daily driver that can still kick arse and run 12's but.. I want to keep my eye out for a 240, and I have been. Okay, here's the run down I want a rust free project 240, preferably 70-72, but hey, I'd still consider a '73. No floor-pan or rail rust (or, VERY very minimal surface), I don't mind some on body, that's part of the fun of restoring. Anyway, I've found a few in the SoCal area, but most aren't driveable up here to SW Washington where I live, and if they are they are too expensive for me. What I have planned is a 350 swap, plain and simple. I'm not looking to spend more than $1500.. but that's negotiable if I really like what I see, which is why I figure I'm only in budget for a project. So if someone in the NW area (or in a driveable area) is looking to get rid of a decent 240 they haven't finished yet , write me at oddenfam@msn.com pics are always good thanks 980mak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okdan Posted January 20, 2002 Share #2 Posted January 20, 2002 did you see the posting for 240z be geevum -- sounds like it would be a good one for you http://www.240z.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1349it is in San Francisco -- but if you have a truck and a trailer that is days drive (cant be more than 500 or 1000 miles) -- if it were me I would gladly drive that distance for a free zcar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
980mak Posted January 20, 2002 Author Share #3 Posted January 20, 2002 okdan actually yeah I saw that, sounds like its a perfect project for being FREE , however I don't have a trailor, know anyone with a trailor, or know how I could get one. I don't know if he has the title etc. for it. It would be a worthwhile.. well, two day drive.. there are many great Z's in Cali, just for a trailorless fella like me, I'll probably have to get one that either runs or is within a couple hundred miles (which I consider to be "local").. thanks for giving me the heads up anyway -mak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 20, 2002 Share #4 Posted January 20, 2002 Not sure if you have a truck or not... but, I just rented a car-hauler from U-haul for around $80. That price was for two days. Good luck with your search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
980mak Posted January 20, 2002 Author Share #5 Posted January 20, 2002 Mike, yeah I thought about a uhaul, but I don't have a truck either, or a friend with one who would be willing to put a quick 1000 miles on it- 500 of which are hauling miles. You know. So pretty much the only way I could get a Z is if it is nearby, or can drive itself from california I appreciate the support guys, thanks -980mak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 20, 2002 Share #6 Posted January 20, 2002 Hmm.... well, Uhaul also rents trucks! Trouble with a truck is... though... you'll have to pay for mileage. But, there's no way to track mileage on a trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
