Well I now have a 78 280z. It is very complete. However, most of the parts are not transferable any way. Your right, maybe I should just sell the parts I know I will never use. The parts are from a 73, so there are many parts that i cannot use that i am sure other people can. Thanks guys for your opinions, I guess I'll remove some parts and make a thread and sell them there. Any one need a 73 240z part? I got it. Since my parts are not show parts, I will let them go for cheap. I'll post pics too. Have a daily driver that needs help?

Well not only am i still in pain after the accident (not as bad though)..but i have begun stripping my beloved 240z. It hurt Taking off a working original power attenna that i never pictured taking off. I peel off that broken paint and takeing off interior panels finding no rust underneath!! The car was solid aside from the floor pans but every where else it is clean. Ther were concern of rust behind the seats, but after I took out the seats Solid and painted no rust. I had a solid car and now it is smashed I am very sad. Well I guess my 78 is getting the diamond hatch interior so it could at least have some 240z appeal.

My 73 240z just got hit. I have plenty of parts if you are interested. I also have a 73 parts car with lots of usable parts still on it. If you want both cars they are free if you come and pick them up. I am in corpus christi(taft), tx. example of Some parts. Twin weber DGVs 6-1 jethot coated header lots of interior components taillights- two sets both have good L24 4-speed drivetrains One set of slotted mags in good daily driver condition. Daily driver condition bumpers, All guages work.(clocks don't but look nice.) and more...... Lots of parts if you need some. If you are not interested in picking up the cars, I may have parts you may want to buy from me. I also have the factory Nissan/datsun shop manual for the 73 240z. Between the two U could make one running car. Just PM me

Has any one put 280zx electric mirrors on a early z. Does anyone know or think they will fit onto the body flush? Do you think they will require fabrication? I think I can wire them and put swicthes on my center cousole, but I wonder how well they fit. I forgot what they look like on the mounting side. Has anyone seen it done?

The only thing i like about it is those deep dish slotted mags. I bet they would look great on a flared Z.

I wonder how much this is gonna go for!! Looks like the my car that got t-boned recently:sleepy: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6187&item=2415202683

http://www.mynode.com/zcar/ Now i wish i had 6grand right now!! I guess the $$$ someone spends depends on their definition of perfection and what they are willing to pay for that perfection.

Look #202 for $10! http://www.oldcars.com/car1043.html

Your car is way above these, and I think your car is worth the 30-35K, heck even 40K to someone who really has to have it. I don't think i've seen one in the condition yours is in. All you have to do is find that person who really has to have a perfect Z, and likes what yours is equipped with. I personally would want all the performance mods if I was paying 30K. But that is just my opinion. Even buy one of those 5-10K cars and build my specific dream z. You have to find that collector that will pay the price. good luck!

I don't like the body work but a V8...... http://www.collectorcarads.com/addetail.asp?AdID=4048

here you go..... http://www.zparts.com/ads/cars4sale/ads/c4s-bg240z.html I looked for a whole 2minutes.

I like driving casually to the ataris or no use for a name, goo goo dolls, lagwagon, rufio, 18 hours, MxPx(sometimes), slick shoes, sick of change, but mostly MY ENGINE. When I drive on the freeways in a fast mood I like listening to Strung out, Pennywise, or old metallica LOUD.

I think right now it is just too easy to find a good Z for 15-20K in great condition making it hard for someone to go to 30-35K. In a few years it will probably be different though.

I don't know the ansewer to your question but can you make your speedo hit 160!?
