280Z 2+2 Seats To a 240Z

[Jetaway]

I've done some searching, but am running out of time. Earlier this evening I came upon a 280Z 2+2 on a flatbed trailer. I left a note on the truck asking: Is the Z coming or going? If going, please call ...

Anyway, it's going to the junkyard tomorrow. He agreed to let me take whatever I wanted from it before taking it to the junkyard, but since the price is free, I don't want to delay him too much.

So, will the seats from a 280Z 2+2 fit in a 240Z? I'm sure they will fit -- somehow -- so I guess the real question is, is it a drop in installation, one involving minor modifications or one that threatens to block passage through the pearly gates due to a large number of bad words uttered during the installation process? If possible, should I grab the rails or leave them be?

About the car: No engine or transmission, body looks fine, think it has all of its windows. I don't know how much the junkyard will give him, but my guess is -- not much. I would love to just buy the car outright, but simply don't have space for a parts car. So..., well I live in Manteca, which is between Stockton and Modesto in California's central valley. It hurts me to know that this decent looking Z will, in all likelihood, be crushed within the month. If you live in the area, have ready access to a flatbed or other towing vehicle (I believe the owner said he wanted the wheels and tires) give me a call tomorrow (Wednesday morning between 9:00 and 10:00 or so [no earlier, please, I have a medical appt. and then will be on the road back home] and I'll ask him how much the junkyard will give him. I'll be able to give a much more detailed rundown on the Z by then also. If you are willing to match it and can come and get the car this weekend, I'll front the money for the car. There's a couple of misceallenous parts that I want -- the headlight holders, right side mirror (if it is even there), a few other small things, but nothing major.

Nope. Not without making some parts.

P.S. The 280Z was reduced to a pile of metal yesterday. Didn't go to a junkyard, went straight to a metal recycler.
