Chungy Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Hi Guys,I'm in the market for a 240/260z coupe with preferably minimal rust and a working engine in it.I know this sounds like a lot but if anyones got a rolling shell + an engine I'm happy to talk about that opportunity too.I'm fairly new to all this, never owning a z before. If anyone has a rolling shell + Engine and gearbox ready to go, please pm me to educate me how to get that running.Thanks heapsAndy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GongZ Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Welcome to the forum Andy. Have a good look at the 'Cars for Sale' section to get a better idea of what your budget will get you; http://www.viczcar.com/forum/forum/14-cars-for-sale/ I bought an excellent 240Z for $10,000 - but that was in 1984.

dat240z Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Welcome - I think with the budget you have in mind, perhaps a 2+2 is more realistic and attainable. You could however get a very poor (full resto required) 2 door for around 10k.. Good luck and all the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators gav240z Posted November 24, 2015 Administrators Share Posted November 24, 2015 Thanks that would make it a 71 but it has a solid quarter panel, so maybe this was changed at some point from an earlier donor car or the vent hole was filled in.
