Default I want it I want it!




This car is being auctioned off at the same place I bought my sunfire and truck from. They have a website that they list the cars and post the pics a few days prior to the auction.

Anyways I'm going to see if my dad will look at it for me tomorrow on preview day, I'm at college and no where near this place. I've always wanted one of these and I'd sell my sunfire in a second for it.

I hope it doesnt run, i cant see whats written on the windshield because of the snow. Anyways if it doesnt run, is a 5 spd, has t-tops and goes dirt cheap maybe I'll pick it up...doubtful but one can hope.

For those of you who dont know...its a 1990 Nissan 300zx

How hard would it be to do a swap? If its a blowm engine i could build one up and do a homemade setup.

The swap is doable, but not worth the effort, too much is different. Getting the tt would be way easier.

Jake,

Its hard to say, this particular auction is supplied with cars that people donate. Typically if the car runs and is newer it goes fairly high. If its non running it goes dirt cheap which is why I'm hoping it doesnt run.

Just to give you an idea.... I bought my 1996 sunfire gt for $225 It needed a new engine and air bags (owner took them). My comanche pickup truck I paid $125 for, you just have to wait for the good deals.

I have my fingers crossed on this one. If it didnt run I'd probably do a hmt on her and maybe build up the engine instead of attempting to do a TT swap.
