garvice Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 (edited) Haven't had any hits, so looking at selling motor/gearbox seperately. CAR without motor/gearbox/computer - $13k Motor - $8.5k Gearbox - $1.8k The lot - $22k Hi All! I haven’t touched my z in roughly 14 years so I think it's time to sell it. I took it off the road when I blew a head gasket and decided to do an RB conversion. This was a forever car, but has become a forever project. It currently has: - RB26 long block rd28 sump, intake no exhaust/hot side accessories - 300zx 5spd with RB26 bellhousing -Motec m600 (new flying lead loom) - Reconditioned dash - Paint is looking rough but body still looks solid - I have the valence and bumpers - bumpers are solid but not perfect - HID lights with proper deflectors (don’t blind oncoming traffic) - new but not fitted I’m not sure what this is worth so I am currently putting out feelers, but at the moment I feel that I would let it all go for $25k. I may also pull the drivetrain/computer and sell those separately. What are your thoughts? Throw questions at me for what you might want to know. Build thread here...

garvice Posted October 28 Author Share Posted October 28 No hits, so advertising motor/gearbox elsewhere and readjusting my expectations on price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garvice Posted November 5 Author Share Posted November 5 PRICE DROP, don't think I can justify much cheaper than this. Come on people, surely someone is looking for a christmas present for their partner? Asking for forgiveness is better than permission.

gilltech Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 (edited) If I were you I'd reassemble as much as possible. Console, wiring, interior, headlamps, panels, wipers, bumpers etc. The more complete it looks the better. Take lots more photos from all sides, inside including hatch and spare wheel area, and underneath, and with all the plastic sheeting removed from the engine bay so people can actually see condition and where the project has stalled. Presentation is everything, first impressions really count. Better yet if you can finish off the motor with exhaust etc and get it running. What happened to the original L26 motor & gearbox? Is the project reversible back to originality? Not every Z fan would want a modified car. Best.

garvice Posted November 11 Author Share Posted November 11 Hi Gilltech, Thanks for the advice, I'll try and get more photos. If I had the time/space to continue working on the car than I wouldn't be selling it, but it really hasn't had appreciable work done on it in ~13 years, so I just don't see it happening. When I bought the car it had an L28 turbo and 5spd. I sold all that running gear when I started putting the RB26 in it. I.e. It hasn't been original for a long time. Everything is always reversable, but obviously not without effort/sourcing all the parts etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
