Well came to the desision to hold off for a bit and see what comes up in the future, Trying to get a hold of the z-car club here in the city to see if someone has a line on a better choice. will let you know when I find my car. Thanx for all the help Koyote R. Sherman Edmonton. Ab. Canada

What do you guys think of this one? Drives ok, Steering is heavy, But He'll go down to $2500.00 Cnd and He has a 2" exhaust he'll throw in. http://edmonton.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-classic-cars-Modified-Datsun-280z-W0QQAdIdZ318044066

Oiluj I'd have to say the same, The guy with the black car wants to get rid of his two seater and get a 2+2 so I'm hoping to get out and see it in the next couple days.

My thinking right now is that I could buy a $3500.00 to $9000.00 car strip the undercoating away and find a nightmare under that. Thats why I was looking at this car because I know what I'm getting But... I've found another body, but it has no powertrain, I hope to look at it tonight as for the owner says it's the best z he's ever seen (But he wants a 2+2). So I think that I might try to pick both up. The red one for the powertrain (parts) and the black one for the body, if it's in good shape...... I'll let you all know. And thanx for all the feed back. Threehz, I have looked in three provinces and with out any luck for my price range, $3500.00 to start. I'm a little paranoid with the NO RUST posts

Thanx I didn't look under the battery tray but the rear deck and stut towers are in good shape. And there are a couple others up here but most are $3500.00 and in a bit better state(not much better), but I just don't trust the posting (no rust) as I've learned that this is a over used term in describing 280z's. There is one that is a 76 2+2 with no motor and he wants $700.00 but I have not seen it as I don't like the 2+2's.

Hi everybody, My name is Richard and for 25 years I've wanted a Zcar, My brother in law had one, that he let me take for a spin and I fell in love, I'm finally in a spot in my life to work on one. I like to fix things myself but doing body work is not a strong point of mine. I rebuilt a 1988 blazer from ground up about 6 years ago with some help from a friend that worked in a body shop for 25 years. Now I've had my buddy look at this 1976 280z and he said that it could be fixed but would require some new frame rails and some sub frame work. I'm going into this with both eyes open as a full restoration and have even looked at finding a rotisserie. I want a car that is stock and that I can make my own and have the satisfaction of doing the work, with a little help from my buddy the body man. It runs and has some extra parts including front and rear sway bars and lowing springs (new in box) & fibreglass bumpers. Everything is there but the passenger seat. It needs work on the interior as well, the owner is asking $1200.00 Cnd and I was thinking offering him less. as the frame needs work. On first talking to him he thought that the frame was in good shape, but with it sitting for a couple years it’s started to take it’s toll. The owner told me that he wants to get the money out of the new parts that he has. So my question is for $800.00 cnd or close to that, is it worth it? I'm kind of sitting on the fence about this car and need your help. I'm prepared to spend 3 years and around $15000.00 cash, without having to finance it.
