Ive had this car since the weekend before Christmas. Long story short the owner kept telling me an telling me about it. So i finally went an looked at it due to the owner wanting to scrap the car.

Well needless to say i was amazed at the car. But it does have a few flaws.


btw my name is Whitney i live in Shreveport Louisiana.

I purchased a 1975 datsun 280z for $300 dollars sitting as is... came with ALOT of parts. Car has been sitting since 2003. Due to a blown clutch an blown motor. SO i took the trans out an he was right the clutch was defiantly gone... 6 puck sprung an a stock motor, thought that was odd. but the flywheel was unbolted... WIN!! put everything back together an runs fine. Now the car is in thousands of pieces. Doing a rebuild on the chassis. Found out the car was in New York for some time an had a few spots of rust

But here is my Z

 

$300! Nice score. Looks like you already have a jump start on the rust repair

 

Brave man he. I wouldn't have chopped all that floor out in fear of losing squareness of the body lol now I know it can be done lol

 

Nice pick up!

 

thanks everyone. An i was worried about cutting the frame rail out. But everything went back together great! Im ready to finish this thing up

 

This is what i have been doing this morning... PLEASE note that, the rim thats beside the car is not mine. its a bent rim so its my seat lol

 

Well good luck on the project and kudos for saving a classic Z!
