You've finally found it! A rare gem of a 260z project waiting for the right pair of hands to bring this one back to life.

Up for sale is my, much-adored, 1976 260Z 2 Seater. I bought this car from Byron Bay about 12 years ago with the intention of fixing it up however a lack of time and space (and skill if I'm to be honest) has meant this gem has sat dormant for all of those years. Suffice to say that I have been collecting parts over the years to make the restoration easier. To that end I was able to secure a replacement center console which will replace the current one that is a bit damaged. The car has had a less-than-professional repair done to the roof where the sunroof used to be and I was fortunate enough to secure a replacement 260z roof cut (yes you read correctly). I also have a set of the original Hitachi round top carbs, that will come with the car, to replace the stock 260z units. There is a brand-new bonnet as well as a bunch of extra dials in case the current ones don't work that will also come with the car.

She needs a bit of work obviously but there-in lies the fun, if you have the time, skill, and tools. I'd say it's 95% parts complete but will obviously need a few parts here and there. Window glass is in the boot along with the radiator, manual transmission and a bunch of other parts.

This car was stored indoors by the previous owner and has been a lovely garage ornament at my house ever since. There appears to be very little rust. Having said that, I have not done a deep investigation to determine the condition of the chassis, but I am confident it will be solid.

This is a rare opportunity to own one of the only 260z 2 seaters for sale in Australia. No doubt it will continue to increase in value over time if restored correctly. 

I will be advertising on this club site for a week or two then will open it up to carsales. I'd love to see it go to an enthusiast who will bring it back to its former glory.

Please direct message me if you are interested: My handle is CausalitySurfer. Once I've validated your interest on this forum, I will then provide my mobile number for further conversation.. 

Those who are in this game know that these things are only appreciating and can command a significant return on your investment if you decide to sell later.. 

Don't miss this opportunity, they do not come along often!
