WTB: Project 260z 2+2

Hey I'm looking for a 260z 2+2 that is in need of repair or even a rolling shell with atleast the dash.

Prefer if you are in QLD but if your in other states and can meet half way I should be able organize something.

only looking to spend up to $1600 to buy so you can probably tell im not after anything in a super flash condition but little or no rust would be a definite help!

thanks!

$2000 would get you a 260z 2+2. this one is near you. Normally you would pay about 4-5k for what you want. there is a cheap one in Victory at the moment but will cost approx $800 to transport it up here.

Yea most I've seen are over 3.5k and a 2+2 doesn't matter.

Thanks for the link.

I've got a 1977 260 2+2 project I'm trying to rid myself of. Very straight, prev owner has done all the rust work. Rolling shell without motor/gearbox. It is in Adelaide though. Let me know if you're interested.

also looking at a 280zx, they seem to be closer to my budget.

please note thats about 2grand to buy and transport, id i get more i will notify!

I know its tight but you never know,thanks.

I got a call yesterday, young bloke here in Brisbane, has exactly what you ate after, a complete car, 260  2plus, engine sort of runs, may need a bit of a tune, has had major rust removed, still needs  minor body work.

He needs to move this on, as his current rental place is finishing, and he has nowhere to take it too

He as chasing $1500 but I reckon that's negotiable

Pm me for details and his contact numbers

*BUMP* still looking, 260Z 2+2 or 280zx around the $1500 mark nothing perfect but no major rust would be good...

Still haven't found anything

i had to wait a long time to find what i wanted. Be prepared to wait .

Well I may of just foynd a 260z 2+2 that looks reasonably complete but it doesn't have a engine/gearbox and has got what looks like surface rust in a few spots... But can't expect alot for $1200

Bump!

Still on the hunt!

Also how much does a standard L26 + gearbox sell for?

With my little girls arrival and her naming (Shelby) I don't think this car will turn into my idea of a street registered LS1. $1000.

Car is at Blayney near Bathurst. And to sweeten a little I could take it half way to Qld. Say Moree or Coffs

thanks for the offer, ill keep it in mind as im currently looking at a 260z 2+2 (if i can ever get in contact with the owner again!) and for $1000 im sure it wont last long! Also the distance is a bit of a bother (already finding it hard enough for anyone to go for a 9hr trip for this other Z).

oh and has much changed since you bought it?

Thanks.

the 260Z 2+2 i was going to get has been sold! not very happy!

so im back on the waiting/looking list! please keep your eyes and ears open, Thanks!

Honestly haven't touched it. When I bought it I was in the middle of a expensive upgrade on my track toy. Have since blown up my track toy so funds are tighter. Car doesn't run, think its a issue with the elctronic maf. Motor starts but then dies after cold enrichment. Needs to be trailered.

Alright man, ill give it a think.

still looking guys! athough considering stopping the search and get some more funds behind me so i can get a better start with a project.

I thought id bump this thread back up as ive started looking into buying 260z 2+2 in repairable/project condition.

only looking for something in the $2000 mark at the moment and as close to South-West Queensland as possible would be good.

Im only dabbling at the moment but if the right offer comes up ill consider.

Here is a cheap one at Warwick.

I have a few 260 project cars I would sell, please email me . Paul@zbitz.com.au I am at walloon near Ipswich

Hi Hardcore - I've got a 280zx with an excellent injected motor going cheap - a little rust but manageable - email me at gary@dwcs.com.au - I'm in Brisbane.

Gaz

You've had what 8 or 10 thrown at you, have ypu managed to get to look at any in the flesh?

Stipulating sth west qld, what town are you in? Maybe some of us have spotted a good one close to you?

None of them will be perfect for the money, but whatever ypu get will be sure to be a project. The plus 2's are more plentifull at least.

sorry guys i havent been on this forum for a while as i picked up a VJ Val ute but then because i rushed it i ended up by a dud and sold it for half what i paid and been a put off by older cars although i still like my old school Zs.

I live in Roma 6hrs from Brisbane, 4 from Toowoomba. I havent looked at any in the flesh as i find it hard to organise a trip any where... money wise ill wait a week or 2 (if i dont buy something else) and look at my account but if im gonna go old school im willing to spend more to get something with less work panel/engine wise and build on it from there...

again im sorry that i never contacted anyone.
