Dirk Diggler Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 There's a difference between rare and unwanted. There are plenty of 2+2s to be had. I don't like how the roof and side Windows look like they were stretched to fit the backseat. It throws off the flow of the body. But make the decision on what you want. That z looks tore up, but nothing a little time and money can't fix. Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Not hatting on that 2x2. Just would suck getting rid of a running VW. Find a vw bus and install your engine if you need room. Some are just as ugly and you can hug those tooo. The kombi bus need love too. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 a 260z 2+2 is the rarest model S30 in the US. does that make it worth anything extra? ...... nope. 2+2's are rarer but not more desirable. Ill pass on a nice S30 at good price if its a 2+2. it kills the S30 lines and looks bloated. and 2+2 S130's look like whales. Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Im not hating either, just pointing out that different locations have way different easily available cars. Although i may be a victim of the whole glass house stone throwing idiom..and whatnot. Quote Link to comment
FoxyRoadster Posted August 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 I wish Dattos was as common as vdubs around here, hell I have found more SS Nova's around here then dattos. One here for sale with zip rust for 1800 lol. If I bought a VW bus, I'd swap to something with more enuf under the hood. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Sunroof missing, Ignition punched, (just like the interior) automatic... does it even run?? It's worth whatever you can get for parts out of it. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 lol perfect donor for an S30 turbo swap :lol: Quote Link to comment
FoxyRoadster Posted August 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Sunroof missing, Ignition punched, automatic... does it even run?? Currently can't start, owner says the starter needs a replaced. Honestly I have plans for a V8. Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 lol perfect donor for an S30 turbo swap :lol: ..just haven`t found the right vehicle yet And now that Bleach sold me his factory service manual we are alot less scared Quote Link to comment
bob72gts Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 DON'T DO IT!!!!! That bug has to be worth 3x if not more than that Z is. While a V8 powered topless 2+2 would really get my crank turning(I know you didn't say topless, I did) That one is Rusty so it is not a V8 candidate anyway. Quote Link to comment
Hardwyre Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Yeah, I know this but lol people complain I don't have one in the roadster or miata. :lol: I'm gonna see if the guy will drop it off at my house and then maybe consider it a deal. I've fit 5 people in my 280Z 2+0. Granted, it was me and four petite dancers; but there is no real purpose to having a rear seat. Also "more rare" does not equal "more valuable" if no one wants them in the first place. I can take a corn-filled shit in a box and label it rare because I don't eat corn that often; but it doesn't mean it's going to sell any more than regular shit does. Anyways, if you do have a mewling, squealing, thumb sucking tax deduction some day, there's no reason why you couldn't devise a way to use the cargo tie downs in the back as mounting points for a child seat.

FoxyRoadster Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 One of the biggest deals with this Z is that it has a title, which always seems to be an issue out this way. I can get new titles for a car, but the issue is it cost me 150 bucks per title and its not guaranteed I'll get it. The Vdub to me is at most worth 800 bucks, even with the engine work. The Z is worth about 600 due to it having a valid title, this is because out this way you don't see very many dattos and ones you do normally lack a title. Quote Link to comment
Dirk Diggler Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 You've seen my z and know how much I paid for it right?.... better deals are to be found, I wouldn't value that z at more than 200, but it all depends on location, want, and boredom. We can all give our opinions but its up to you. Either way you win as long as its what you want. Quote Link to comment

Ratty260z Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 I have a Super beetle and a 2+2, Seeing that 2+2 I would wait and find something in better condition, I like my 2+2 they have wider rear fenders, longer wheelbase and I have more room to haul stuff in it then In my beetle. Everyone has their own opinion's on 2+2's but they're not so bad if you build them they way you want. They don't even weigh that much more then coupes as commonly believed a 2+2 is only around 2600lbs. Also the rear seat isn't that bad I'm 6 foot 165lbs and I can fit fine in the back seat, but I have also swapped the front seats which gave tons more leg room. 2+2's just need bigger wider wheels to look good imo while coupes can pull of 15's etc. 1 Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 well that is a damn nice 2+2 Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 2+2 doesnt look worse in my opinion, although im not a big fan of the s30 either way. judging strictly on value id say keep the bug, i bet you could make the same trade for a nice running z, they are all over texas which wouldnt be too far from you Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 That is one sexy ass 2x2 Quote Link to comment
Steroid Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 After reading this thread, I have one question. What were the production figures on 2+2s? Are they a low production vehicle? That answer should be a thought. If I had a '63 bug My decision would be based on the bajabug conversion. Out here in Cali and Arizona, there is a significant price drop as soon as a sawzall has been taken to a bug. The bajabug craze destroyed hundreds of nice early year bugs. They can never be restored without noticable effects by looking closely. That being said, a bajabug is a very low $$$ vehicle. But so is that 2+2 most on here have said. Are You wanting a "fresh" project? Keep the high $$$ parts off the bug and trade but keep in mind (THIS subject has not been mentioned yet-- carburetion issues on the different Zs) You may spend HUGE $$$ building that 2=2.

FoxyRoadster Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Just a bit of an update. The guy is gonna be dropping the Z off at my new house tomorrow but before we trade he wants to "look it over real good". So I figure I'll look the Z over real good as well, though from what I've seen of the Z so far my bug is still the better end of the deal. So if he wants to be picky then he should have owned a 2+0 :lol: I'm tired of the bug, it sits around and any time I take it off road I break something on it. I'd be better off with a V8 z honestly and body work doesn't scare me, its dealing with what the PO's of the car has fucked up is what does. :P Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 If I bought a VW bus, I'd swap to something with more enuf under the hood. Like a Turbo Corvair !!!! Quote Link to comment
