The 240 he say does not run... I asked what was wrong and he said it just needed to be jumped. Seems fishy. On another note, the blue 280 is still available and he said he would take 8k. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

1971 240. Supposedly a rust-free California car. I will see when I check it out. Guy is asking 13.4k, definitely will try to talk him down given the missing parts etc. does it look like it’s been repainted to anyone? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The xenon does look nice! I’m definitely wanting to do something like that. Possibly even do a wide-body on the one I don’t plan on keeping stock. But these are dreams right now haha. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would love a 240, but I know that it might be more realistic to do a 280. I’m open to any s30 essentially. Once you remove the bumpers, are they not the same lines? I don’t plan on using it as a daily driver at all. More of a weekend, pleasure vehicle. Right now I know that I am not going to get a pristine car and so I’m not super concerned with everything being factory or correct. I know it’s sacrilegious, but I would probably remove my bumpers if I had a 280. Given my age and budget, I’m probably going to do a restomod job on my first car. That way I don’t have to be as picky about details and I can still enjoy the car and have more freedom. Learn more for future and be more prepared for a mint car later on.

So by door you mean the whole door assembly, panels and all? The 240 and rusty 260 are gone. All that I am seeing that i could maybe pull off is 280 with supposedly 18k miles and the grey 260 I posted about earlier. I sadly did recently move into an apartment which only compounds my issues.

By doors do you mean the panel on the interior or the exterior? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I got them when I was still in college. None of them run. 72 240, and a 76 and 78 280. All have engines and transmissions. All panels etc. the 240 is just sadly too rusted to do anything with. The 280s are decent actually, but I would prefer to start with something that’s in better shape. They were in a barn for 20+ years. However, they are about 12hrs away at a family members place. I could always use them for parts, but it wouldn’t be feasible to get one shipped down here when I don’t truly know what it will take it get them going, not to mention to repair any rust.

Oh, I also forgot. I have the transmissions on my other cars. So assuming that are in ok shape I could just get it installed? My parts cars are all essentially intact. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am not worried about interiors. I could live with a restomod type thing until the days when I can truly afford a pristine example. I am not opposed to learning about the mechanic side of things whatsoever, I just lack the tools and space right now to really start. But I agree, I am going to save as much as I can.

[quote post="578673" timestamp="1561834752" name="Dave WM" Right off I can see its missing the cowl piece, not a big deal, just one more thing that will need to be looked into. I have 3 of those ;) Assuming they are interchangeable. I do not however have door panels for a 260. Only 240 and 280. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
