daw260z Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 It is with much sadness that i find myself needing to sell my 260z. Ironically I have just purchased a house with a large shed, including a mechanics pit, but unfortunatly the renovation has drained the budget so the hobby has to go. :'( The car is a 1977 260z. There was rust in the usual places but over half has been cut and replaced with new metal. None is yet bogged so can easily be inspected. Currently it is a rolling shell with the windows still in. I was preparing to finish the rust than get the car blasted before painting so there is a bit of surface rust on the rew steel but nothing to worry about. The extras include: New set of Hyperflex Suspension Bush Kit 1 Box of Bostick Rubber adhesive sound proofing Front spoiler and rear skirt (280z style) Enough Rust bullet paint to do the engine bay and inside the car Full Set of Fiberglass Flares ( Mould in type) New hatch Panel from Rare spares ( Ready to Fit) Finished Headlight upgrade Honda Wiper Motor Conversion (All Working) Plus all the little extras i can find in the shed. The original engine is a bit tired but could be fixed up if desired. I had planned a RB25 conversion and would like to sell the all the parts i have collected as one bundle. Included in the engine package is the RB25det engine, 5 speed manual gearbox, intercooler and piping, skyline tailshaft, skyline exhaust, all the skyline electronics like aircon etc, ecu and loom. Basically all the usefull stuff that you would need from a skyline. I also have an engineered cross member, engine mounts and gearbox mount to suit the conversion. All that is needed is the modified sump, of which there is a spare waiting to be chopped up if need be. There are basically enough parts to get the engine in and running with the option of having electronically controlled climate control. I am really hesitant to sell so please no time wasters. I am asking for $5500 firm for the whole lot. Bring a car trailer and a ute and its all yours. I know that the car doesnt seem like much but the extras will definately keep you going without much extra outlay for a while. I would prefer to sell it all together but if anyone wants to make offers on the car, engine or gearbox seperately i may be interested . Price drop $5000 ono Pics to come. Quote
Fairlady Z Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Sounds like a bargain Z with rb25det. This should go quick. Quote
daw260z Posted January 30, 2013 Author Posted January 30, 2013 Bargain...Damn Forgot to mention the car is still registered till May and comes with the original auto box and a spare pedal for the manual conversion. Quote

David_Jeremiah_Bullfrog Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 "Will take reasonable offers. Or any if you ask my wife " I had to laugh when I read this, seems like its a common theme, my wife feels exactly the same way about my Z. So far so good, after a few uncomfortable silences I have managed to hang on to 'the rust bucket' as she affectionately calls it....for now..... Quote
daw260z Posted November 11, 2013 Author Posted November 11, 2013 Needs photos mate, pictures sell cars . That is why I haven't posted any ...til now :'( Quote
daw260z Posted November 11, 2013 Author Posted November 11, 2013 I realise that the car does not look like much. The rust you can see is surface rust / rust buster where the metal has been replaced with new sheet. A light sand blast and it is ready for painting. Really the value is in the extras and the car is free considering what i have spent on all the extra parts. This car has a lot of potential. Even posting the pics makes me want to cancel the sale, so only reasonable offers will be considered. Quote
David_Jeremiah_Bullfrog Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Cancel the sale and breathe some life into this baby. Tell the missus, its her or the car....that should sort out priorities. It is the only way Quote
daw260z Posted November 12, 2013 Author Posted November 12, 2013 Gold, you have no idea how much i needed that laugh. Quote
