found a 72 240
 

i just came across a 72 240z. It was in the garage of the original owner in pieces. This guy is about 70 and bought the car new. In the mid 80's he said it was having some engine trouble so he decided to overhaul it. He took the engine out then decided not to stop there. He took everything off. I mean everthing. Fenders, all suspension, differntial, and most of the interior. It sat up on block like that since then in his garage. The body look fantastic. Not the slightest bit of rust anywhere. The paint even looked good. The dash was intact and look very good with no cracks and even the original stereo. He had every part he took off hanging around either on the wall or in the rafters. WELL my question is, is it worth it? I would love to rebuild it and since it was all taken apart it would be ez to slap in a upgraded suspension and paint the thing inside and out. then worry about putting in a 2.8 and all that. But how would i get it home since it is all up on blocks? I cant seem to figure out how? The wheels are gone and all the a-arms and mounts are off. I would have to carry it on a flat bed i guess? He only wants a couple hundred for it so the parts alone would be worth my time but i must take everything. Any hints on what to do? Let me know.
Thanks,

My God man jump on it before someone else gets to it or the guy changes his mind. For a couple hundred its definitely worth it. Rent a flatbed or get a towing company to pick it up and the rest of the parts have a buddy with a truck help you with.....unless you have a pickup. If you have a pickup then grab some buddies and pick up the parts.

You are a lucky dog!

Don't waste anymore time. After you pick it up, swing by Northern California and buy me a lottery ticket. WHAT A DEAL! You should post photos after you get it.

If its all original why would you want to put an L28 in why not leave it completely stock ... would be worth a bit
