Whats the best deal you've missed out on??

I just missed the BEST deal of the month i think and i'm FUMING!!!!!!

A guy HAD to sell his turbo '79 with 60K and tons of new stuff for 1000 obo since he was leaving for london in a few hours and he really was leaving and I missed out on the ad by like an hour AND I"VE BEEN CHECKING CRAIGSLIST ALL WEEK and i missed by an hour !!!!

the only remedy for this is hoping that someone else has missed a sweeter deal

Unless he did a motor swap it wasn't a turbo. Nissan didn't put a turbo motor in until 81.

To comfort you... there will always be another deal.

1990 Stillen Stage 3 TT with 30k miles, owned by a guy in his 60s (first owner) for about $10k. this thing was PRISTINE. but i didn't have a place to park it indoors, nor a daily driver at the time. i just would not have felt right driving that thing in anything other than sunny weather.

Well there has been many, that I have missed out on, in my lifetime. But the most recent one, I lost. Was a pretty much an original rust free for the most part...'74 260Z 2 seater, for $700. I was planning on buying it a while ago. But since it has taken me so long to get a job. I ran out of money, and thus lost out. Oh well, another one will come around later. I have too many projects anyway.

What are you talking about!! I want to share my speed and it's smog exempt!! I would have killed for this but I guess I didn't need to. If i turbo a 240 then I can only have 1 passenger at least in the 2+2 i can have 1 and a half.

Yeah it's like maybe 200 pounds more or so but where's the fun when you want to take all your friends out for a spin? When was the last time you saw a good condition '74 2+2 for sale??

The last time I had more than 2 people in my 280zx 2+2 was 10 years ago in highschool. Since then I've removed the back seat & coverted to a 2seater rear deck. More bodies = more weight = slower.

Congrats on buying the Z! Most people don't dig the 2+2's (especially on an S30) for various reasons... but it's your car and if you like it, that is obviously what is important.

i'm a loner. i don't like to have people with me. my last 2 cars have been 2 seaters. i rarely regret it!
anyway, i don't drive fast with other people in the car. killing myself by accident is one thing, killing someone else.... no no
