Description: Thinking about selling my project Datsun, but only if I get the right price for it. 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.

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, it's just a starting point but as far as NJ S30s go, this has a lot less rust then others I've seen. This has typical S13 rust which is amazing for it's age. Floor pans, quarters, and strut towers are solid, and the car will come with a lot of extras, too much to list.

THE GOOD:

- New MSD Ignition Coil
-Brand new Battery with custom Battery tie down/tray kit.
- Brand new Alternator
- Brand New Starter
- Brand new shifter bushings.
- Brand new headlights
- Brand new front sway bar end links
- Brand new Fuel pump, and fuel injectors with brand new pig tails
- Brand new MSA 6-1 Header
- Brand new custom Dynomax 2.5 inch exhaust
- Custom Intake
- Comes with brand new interior, and a full size dash cap.
- 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

THE BAD:
- Frame rails are shot, new ones need to be welded in
- Rust in the battery tray area
- Rust in the inner hatch
- Electrical issues

I understand I have no posts on this forum, I just lurk for the most part, but I am very active on TriStateTuners, and most Spec-V forums, if anyone just wants to make sure I am not a troll or what not lol. And I had a bunch of people tell me to post my Z's up here cause I might get more bites here.

***I also have a running 1976 280Z, 4-speed manual 2+0 for sale for 2500$ OBO if anyone is interested. ***

Thanks for the offer but I am not looking for B14s. Had one as my first car, didn't like it very much, plus OK is a little far for me to go for a B14 lol. Appreciate the offer though, and I may have considered trading my 76 for it if you were closer.

Thanks, appreciate it. These cars were built for LS1s and SBCs! I was going to put a LT1+T56 in my blue 76 but I just have too much other stuff on my plate right now.

Bump. I ordered new Frame Rails and custom Jack Plates for the 78, will have them welded in as soon as they come in making the 78 solid.
