280Z feeler

spent the day helping my best friend get the motor and trans, rear diff, etc out of his 75 280Z donor. we were kicking around selling off his spares to clear up room and money. hes not quite ready to let it go yet, but i wanted to give you guys a heads up on this first. probably looking at the end of the month.

75 280Z was 4 speed car. rust in both front lower door jambs (never seen one rust there), and two holes on the front floor pans about 2 inches in diameter. no other rust other than surface that weve found. was hit in the front in the past and fixed. great doors, framerails, and front clip. no interior to speak of other than dash and seats and glass. sealer ac car. hes thinking 400 for it, with NC title (always been around charlotte. car was sold new at independance datsun)soild as a roller

89 ford 302 roller notor, with efi. ran great when pulled from mustang gt. 450.

92 mustang t5 trans. shifted great when pulled from mustang. with bellhousiung and flywheel (no clutch) 400

hes also got a custom built bolt in crossmember for the ford swap, and "stuff" leftover from his othercar to throw in for a package deal

would make someone a neat challenge/track car.

sell it all for 1400 is what we were thinking for a package. does this sound reasonable to you guys? something any of you want?

and, no, i currently have no pictures. but he does.

I am very interested in the roller. Interested in the whole thing actually but I think it'll turn out to be out of my budget even with tax money.
But 400 for a roller I can do for sure.
And I work on South Blvd in Charlotte.

Just let me know. I'll be able to scrape up $400 pretty easily so I'm definitely game to buy it. Might just rent a garage space in charlotte before I move down there to keep the car & a engine hoist &stand & stuff... but I'll have a place to put it either way.

ill let him know ive got it sold for him if you mant me to.

if you shoot me a number, ill give it to him so you two can work things out.

he may even be willing to let it lounge in his yard for a month or two

sound like a plan?

if hes looking at the end of the month then it definitely sounds like a plan. I'll def have the spare money for it set aside by then. He already got rid of the original l28 and trans or what?
What I'd like to do with it is just run an l28 in it with some work done to it. Since this is going to be my first full on project car, I'd like to not have to wrestle with getting a radical engine swap to work in addition to making it handle even better and making it quick.
I'll pm you my number to give him, I work most of the time but text is always easy for me to respond to, even at work.
Thanks man, I'm excited!

I have an injected L28 from a 79 ZX you can have if you come to Grant, AL.

hmm very enticing, I will let you know if I'm heading down that way.
Wife and I have been wanting a trip to New Orleans (two years late honeymoon) so maybe on the way back from there?

I am going to look at the z saturday afternoon, definitely seems and feels like it's the one.
Will post pictures to gloat over=]
