Hopefully this will be mine in a week or two if everything goes right. Body isn't that bad but for what I'll have leftover I can get that done with $$ to spare on other stuff. It's not a 240z but a 75 280z with a rebuiltfuel injected engine, aftermarket cam, header, supertrapp muffler, new radiator, fuel pump, brakes,Optima battery, clarion cd deck, 5 spd. I feel in love with it the moment I saw it. I about fell over when he told me 1500 for it! I was expecting him to say 3-4k on it. He was a pretty cool guy, tech at a local auto repair shop and has another Z and want to get that going so one Z has to go he said. Thanks to everyone who's been buying my stuff to help me get my Z that I want. I should have like almost 3g's after I buy it to spend on it. Ohhh the possibilities... I won't know how to act having a car with torque. Gotta love the visegrip for holding on the dist. HMT style Only thing I ain't feeling is that damn hurst T shift **** but thats just cosmetic ---- but he started it up and it had a nice loopy idle from the cam and the muffler was louder then any of my cannisters I've ever owned! lol. It's tuneable so that can be messed around with.

Only 1100 away from it. If Mr Limpmode picks up my engine I'll be set. Not including a guy who's buying my 4dr shell for 2500 and a gsr hydro tranny I'm selling also. I may even ask my mom to bum me some scrilla till everything goes and then just pay her back cause for 1500 I can't pass that ---- up. I've got some nice Buddy Club buckets to toss in it too so I can toss those ripped up vinyl seats in it away for the time being and throw my old recaro into the hatch. As Tom Petty once said, "the waiting is the hardest part." He doesn't have it listed up for sale but said he'd sell it. So check out the classifieds and help me out alil.

Rolling shell with full ITR susp, jdm rims, full Ferio interior, no rust whatsoever... I feel it's well worth the 2500. Try finding a EF or EG civic in WI with no rust is quite a challenge.

Well tomorrow I go down and put 800 on it and then by the end of the month I'll have all the money for it if not sooner. Oh sweet 280z, you are mine... straight 6, 2.8 liters of pure rwd power. I feel like Nicolas Cage in Gone in 60 seconds of how he felt about Eleanor.
