So you're only looking for a 70-71? I think you'll be looking for quite a while. :D Have you tried www.craigslist.com ?

skittle May 30, 2008 12:36 PM

yeah good luck finding a series 1 for free or cheap unless its like "fred" from the Movie "Cars"... "nobody says rust like rustees"

Superduner May 30, 2008 03:50 PM

hahaha indeed love that movie lmao. Did yal check out the import with a 5 layered spoiler ? lmao hilarious well at this point i just want a Z. i can always do some major weight reduction IE take thte anchor stock exhaust manifold and throw in a header. relocate batery to the back (weight distribution), throw in a RB20DET. to keep the inline 6 going on with that gorgeous sound it makes but have the turtle and twin cam ;) ETC ETC ETC. so i suppose i dont really care what year it is at this point as long as its a 240z donated or rock bottom dirt cheapo. haha my 280z WAS a rustEE indeed. spend a year sanding it down by hand myself back in sophmore year in highschool. this is how it turned out :) after a years work.


LEGIT Z LOVER

My 280z and my previous 240z. LEFT i rebuilt from SCRATCH!!!! RUSTEE!!!
Red 240sx donated to my cousin after i finished it and got it running smooth

I have a 72 parts car. Not much of it left, but I do have some bits and pieces. I'm in Houston Tx.

Slot mag set
good hatch with glass
full suspension - I'm taking the rear end
some interior panels
headlight switches
rear light casings (need the center chrome strips replaced)
cracked dash with gauges

still looking for a 70 71 240z. but looking at any 240z year now. let me know what u go. im in SAN DIEGO

Superduner Jun 15, 2008 07:56 PM

REAAAAAALLY still looking for a 70 71 240z. but wouldnt mind checking out any 240z year now. preferably a DONOR or PROJECT car that nobody wants or needs. but i could manage to get a few bucks if its cheap too.

would really like a 240z for myself to keep now.

NismoPick Jun 15, 2008 08:08 PM

d u d e . . . . .

Are you expecting a 240z to fall from the sky for you? I searched for 3 years to find my 240z. Then I dickered with the guy for months before he finally decided to sell it.

Just keep looking through craigslist & other online classifieds. Maybe one day you'll find it.

Superduner Jun 15, 2008 08:19 PM

Yeah i do that. But im sure theres some nice people out there on the forums that wouldnt mind laying a hand in finding one. So justing giving it a try.

ZChief Jun 16, 2008 07:26 AM

Taking in a Doner Z
 
I found my 70 in a local junk yard after looking for about a year. The junk yard guy had bought it at auction and put it to the side knowing what he had (an early z car w/o rust). He did not part it out. Keep on looking and you'll find something.

Superduner Jun 16, 2008 11:21 AM

nice :) thats a good story to tell. did the car get a salvage title being sold from the junkyard? well to tel you the truth i did fidn 1 or two series ones. like the one i want. but wne youre being offered a car with no engine no trans holes in the floorboard. some cancer in teh fenders and stock 240z for $5000 it sorta turns you off :P hahaha. im sure there should be a rather CLEANER series one out there for muich cheaper . just a matter of luck and searching.

ZChief Jun 18, 2008 07:42 PM

Taking in a Doner Z
 
Nope - clean title.

Superduner Jun 19, 2008 11:43 AM

NICE FIND :) ive been talking to some folks over in japan for estimates on how much it would cost me over all for them to find me a bone stock in WHATEVER shape rust dont matter. they replyes it would cost within a $8,000 SHIPPED to longbeach cali. thats a 69-73 S30z. seems tempting since importing would be a breeze for these 38 year old cars. but unfortuntly that sort of $ is out of my reach at the moment so il have to stick with a donor Z or a 240z for dirt cheap i find so i can restore it.

NismoPick Jun 19, 2008 11:50 AM

Yeah... you could have a smokin clean 240z for $8k found right here in the states. :075:

Bleach Jun 19, 2008 12:13 PM

1972 240Z, all original, straight body. $1500 in WA. :D ... I might get it just to collect junk.

Bleach Jun 19, 2008 12:21 PM
