    I am sure we can track one of those down for $400 bucks. I would do dollar runs in a cosworth...the run would be me driving it from Orr back to my apt. in Uptown. :D

    If you want to have a pre-75 then you wont be having a 280 and you wouldn't want one regardless.

    240Z's were 70-73
    260Z's were 74
    280Z's were 75-83 (I think 83 or 84 was the first of the V6)

    My Z will be for sale in the summer! I am looking to get $7,500 for it, I have $15k in it--don't fool yourself cars are not a wise investment :D

    The Z has quite a bit done to it. I will have to remember it all, I haven't driven it for over 8 months and it is sitting 700 miles from where I currently live.

    70k mies when I purchased it.

    Now has a 280 z engine with a 240z head...10.5:1 compression

    swithched rearends from 3.4 to a 3.93

    switched the 4sp to a 5sp late model

    replaced stock tach with a 5in monster tach in original location

    Unilite distributor, MSA headers wrapped in high temp header wrap, 2.5exhaust, crane cams ignition box, crane hi-perform coil, Energy Suspension poly urethane bushings everywhere, eibach springs, tokico struts, MSA strut tower braces front and back, Suspension techniques sway bars front and back, switched carbs to SU's with airhorns and K&N filters, seats replaced with Corbeau's, corbeau 4 point harnesses, ported and polished head, ARP rod bolts, Holley Redline fuel pump and regulator, modified oil pan with traps, Nissan Motorsports Turbo oil pump, Goodridge stainless steel brakelines, Hawk carbon metalic pads, Taylor Hi-Pro 8mm plug wires

    Interior is pristine...no cracks on dash, aluminum switch plate, toggles fuel pump, ignition box, foglights and rev limiter switch....push button start in cigarette lighter position, Momo Dshaped wheel, MSA quick steer knuckles

    Got rid of the airpump, emissions control, no cat, got rid of the air conditioning (no need for any emissions control...grandfathered due to the year of vehicle)

    Yokohoma tires

    MSA Front spoiler


    mods came as I could remember them sorry for the weird order. I am sure there is more I have done in the past 2-4 years but I can't really remember everything right now.


    I have pictures during the build but none post build sorry

    It's all yours if you want it. I am going to take a week off in the spring and go home and clean 'er up. Round up all the random parts, ship them back to Mpls. Give her one last tune. And then drive it back from IN to MN-put it in storage and sell it off.

    It will be an extremely sad day. Just makes more sense economically as I would like to own a house soon. :(

    You should see the fireballs this thing will spit. HOT! :D

    that would work, if someone buys it, I'll put a clutch and coolant line in it this summer (if I can have the clutch back when/if we destroy the rest of the car)

    My 6 cylinder makes 1250 lb/ft of torque.
    I'm not sure if he'd like his Maxima ice raced or not. I'll donate 20 bucks towards it though :lol:

    Seriously, Vics Legacy wouldn't be a bad car for that at all.

    Topher, PM'd you.
