SOLD - PB260Z's 1977 260Z 2+2 L28E Manual

[PB260Z]

Model: 260Z 2+2

Location: Sydney North

Price : $22,500

Item Condition: Excellent

Body: All rust removed and painted by Lurch at Classic Auto Fabrications

Mechanical: Running L28E + 5speed (280zx) and R180 (3.9)

Registration: Registered in NSW with the L28

I have decided it is time to sell my Bus. It is ’77 260 2+2 with the running gear from a ‘81 280ZX in it.

I built this car to be long distance tourer and as such it has A/C (with Kia fan), Recaro seats, Replica Compe wheel, H4 headlamps (upgraded wiring) and all the gauges work, yes even the clock, twin thermo fans . When installing the L28E I used genuine 280Z (USA) parts so this is effectively a RHD 280Z and looks 100% factory.

The build thread tells the story https://www.viczcar.com/forums/topic/9447-pb’s-77-260z-22-rebuild/  (Some of the early photo links are broken, I can supply detailed photos on request)

Very reliable, has done a couple of Melbourne and Tamworth return trips and never missed a beat. This is not a show car and was never intended to be. I drive it in the rain and in traffic.

The not so good: Needs a dash reskin, has a small paint defect near the hatch (about the size of 5c piece), the back seat top is stuffed (I have it covered with a black towel) & the stereo not connected, just couldn’t bring myself to cut the door trims.

Will come with the original engine, a set of 260Z alloys with new tyres and some spares.

Shame to be selling after all that work, drives well also. I had a go between Sydney and Melbourne when I came down for the Christmas BBQ 2 years ago. The fuel injection makes it very usable.

This is a car you can get in and drive and enjoy right away and take care of some of the more minor cosmetic issues like the dashboard that needs a reskin.

Thanks Gav.

The decision to sell was not an easy one to make, but I built the car to be driven and I just haven’t been using it due to work and other commitments.

Yes it is a car that you can just jump in and enjoy the drive - I will miss it.

Cheers

Hi

The bus has sold, and is actually returning to Melb.

Now on to the next project.

I'm happy and sad for you Peter. Is the new project a boat?

Hi Gav

It is mixed emotions for me, but the reality is that in the last 12 months I have put less than 100kms on it.

The new project ? I really don't know, I have a few thoughts, and they all have 4 wheels.

Cheers
