Selling my project 1978 Datsun. This is a running, driving 280Z. I bought the car after it had not been running in over 4 years and put a lot of work into it:

Will consider trades for anything reliable, decent on gas, and manual, 5 or 6-speed. ABSOLUTELY NO HONDAS (This includes Acuras) OR VWs!!!!! Will add cash on top of the Z.

1978 Datsun 280Z ($4000 OBO)
4- Speed Manual 2 0 coupe
87k Miles

The car starts and drives great, and all the gears shift great. The car has a lot of pep and is a blast to drive. It was my driveable project, but not sure if I want to work on it anymore. The price is flexible, and the car will come with a lot of extras, too much to list.

- Brand new Alternator

- Brand new Fuel Filter, spark plugs, wires, water sender kit, radiator hoses, belts, water pump, and more!
- New brakes (not yet installed)
- Tons of other extras
-Body is pretty rust free, and very straight
- New Exedy clutch and Sachs flywheel (not installed)
- 240Z bumpers (not on the car)
- Poly urethane front Air Dam
- Custom Maxi Fuse block to replace old fusible link setup.

THE BAD:
- Rust in the battery tray area
- Rust in the inner hatch

As far as trades go I'm interested in: Nissan NX2000s, Nissan Sentras B13 SE-Rs, Mazda MX6 GTs (first generation), Ford Probe GT (first generation), Toyota MR-S, 2nd Gen Toyota MR-2, Mazda Miata First Generation, 2007 Mazda Speed3, Mazda Speed Protege, Nissan 240SX S13 Coupes (no hatches), Nissan 240SX S14, Nissan 300ZX Z32 N/A (No TT), Nissan Harbody (KA24E models only), Mazda B2200s, Suzuki Swifts, anything else reliable and somewhat sporty. Nothing older then 1990 though please.

 

Bump this up. Shoot me some offers people, cash or trades.

 

New frame rails and Jack Plates are in (Also now undercoated, but not shown in these pictures):

 

BUMP! Taking offers and trades. Just want it gone so I can get a new DD. Throw me some offers, worst I can say is no.

 

i have a 1991 mazda miata

 

Keep me updated if you are still interested and are able to trailer the MX-5 up to me and take the Z back down.

Until then still taking offers, cash or trades, can lower the price by subtracting parts from the car.

 

Come on let me see some offers. I want this gone, it makes me sad every time I look at it knowing I don't have time for it.
