Under Pressure

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.

I'm located in Ormond Beach, Florida

too bad it's not in better shape, i'm in the market for a S30 right now, GLWS though, this would make a sick GRM car.

Under Pressure

It's actually in amazing shape, but it's apart. I'll probably keep it because I turned in my registration forms and stuff for the challenge. So now I have to get it running and tuned by the 25th because that's it's debut

NICE! let me know how it does man!

i think i just found "the one" today....

virgin, straight body, minimal rust, 100% complete barn find....




lemme get those seats and dash brah

Under Pressure

Will do, the Challenge is October 6th-8th, you should come through and check it out. I'll sell you the seats because I'm looking for some buckets that will hold me in.

hmmmm i'm planning on having the SR in by the end of the month... $750 Z car, "free" donor motor... i think it could be fun!

dash isn't NOS for my year, but those seats look good... i haven't really been in the car i'm getting, just kinda looked around a bit, but if your seats are in better shape, i'll scoop em up for sure (at least the pass side, thinking of swapping the bride into the Z)....

Under Pressure

Unfortunately it doesn't work like that, otherwise my Z would have a 2jz lol I'll trade you both of my seats for your bride.
