Hey everybody, I'm debating selling my GRM Challenge project car. It's a rust free '75 Datsun 280z. Here's a list:
Exterior:
Custom Rustoleum gloss black paint job (sarcastic about custom)
Shaved side markers and emblems
Slotted mag wheels
Rising sun painted on the hood
Tinted tail lights

Interior:
Mint 240z seats
Stripped sound deadener
Grant steering wheel
Custom Gauge panel (w/ boost gauge, AFR gauge, and 1 other gauge)
Hello Kitty horn button
POR-15/Truck Bed lined floors (Will be done before sold)
Dash Cap
Grenade Shifter Knob

Engine:
P30 block (Supposed to have work done to it but I can't verify)
E88 Head
SU Carbs
6-1 Header
Port and polished
Dual valve springs
Upgraded valves

Suspension:
Turn Six lowering springs
New brake pads/shoes
Aftermarket sway bars

Extras:
3 Head Gaskets
2 Intake/Exhaust gaskets

*The motorwork I see is just from pulling the intake and valve cover. Not sure what else is done to it.


Needs:
Front valance/ or front air dam
Carpet/Sound deadner (If you want, not a big deal for me)
Tires (Good for some burnouts or drifts )
A little fixing where the PO tried shaving the side signals
Paint (if you don't like the current paint job, it was painted (Rustoleum Gloss Black) with a paint brush and it's got a couple runs and you can see the brush strokes, but looks good from 10 feet

I'm not going to lie, she needs some more work to get her looking good, but once some little things are fixed she'll be a beauty.

The only reason I'm debating selling it is because I don't really have the time for a project car. There's not much left to get it running and if it doesn't sell before the challenge I'll try to get it running and compete in the challenge. There's a catch, if it sells I'd like to have first dibs on it if the buyer ever sells it. This car has sentimental value because it's my first car, and it's the first thing I've owned that I've payed for everything myself and invested a lot of time into. I'd like to get somewhere around $2,800, but I'd rather trade it for a Miata, E30 BMW, FB or FC RX7, Porsche 944, or something of that nature. THE TRIPLE CARBS, WHEELS, AND CARTECH TURBO KIT ARE NO LONGER ON THE CAR! Will have more recent pictures this weekend, hopefully. The only thing that has changed is the carbs and the turbo kit.

Ugh this is thing is sooo sexy, I wish I had a disposable 10,000$ right now to dump into this and restore it and slap a rb25 into it =/

 

Thanks man. I might not even sell it because I got a head for free and I think I'll just get it running and tuned and drive it a couple days a week.

 

Exactly what I was going to say. Bump.

 

Thanks

 

Dude, if you can, keep it. That thing has(from what I can see) a mint body on it to start with. If your daily is running, and it gets you where you need to go, why get it in "tip top" shape? I would definitely hold onto it, get it completely restored and drop a black top sr20DET in it.

 

Here's a pic of the hood

And here's what it looked like when I first got it

its hard to find someone with money to buy these.. I sold my 72 240z for 4k a few years back

 

That's not bad at all.
