Restoring a 1977 280z! (My first z car)
The title 42 has officially been approved by the state. should have the title back next week they say. Unfortunately, i think i have come to the decision that im going to sell her. I will have plenty of time in the future to have my fun cars, but im about to go to college, and i need a good reliable car to get me to work and everything else. I'ts just not practical for me to keep spending money on my datsun right now.

Started the title process today. 3 weeks of newspaper ads and the n 3-5 weeks to wait for the state of Oklahoma to print me off a new title . Also got a key made today! Will keep updated

Also, it was posted on the property for 40 or sixty days(can't remember which) that they had a certain amount of time to reclaim their belongings, and that was six months ago. Regardless, you guys are right. Title first for sure.

The shopping list will evolve as I work on it obviously. I'm already resigned to the fact that in probably going to have to replace everything brake and suspension related. I want to get it started before I worry about what comes next though.

When I get paid Wednesday I'm gonna start ordering parts!!! I hate having to wait so long to start working on it. One of the first thing I have to do is get a locksmith to make a new key for it though :/

Patcon: yeah there is a cruise control switch hanging out of the left side of the steering wheel. I'll probably just end up taking it all off.I'm not one to use cruise control very much

And the only other back story I have is that there was a tint sticker across the windshield that says Florida aeronautical university, and a green sticker that says okaloosa county sheriff posse on the side window. I didn't pull it out of the barn myself, bought it off the guy who did.

No there is no history for it unfortunately. The guy I bought it from found it in a repossessed house covered in dust. The title is lost, and he said he did some research on the title and it hasn't been titled since 1978 in Florida. Is be really curious to know is history myself .
