jvb5577 Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Check second page.. Stumbled on this 1974 260Z 2+2, seller is asking 1K. Its auto, doesn't run. Said last time he was driving it 16 years ago it started to backfire and studder. Been parked since. Original owner. 153K has smog Hitachi SUs or the soup cans. NO rust as it has been in dry storage. By sounds of it interior is in great condition. EDIT Came across this 71 B110 Sedan for sale. Haven't been able to look at it since its a few hours away from me. Owner says its pretty rust free (desert car) A12 doesn't run, needs coil, distributor cap, and spark wires. No front seats, door cards. Body looks straight but is hard to tell with paint job. Think its worth the drive to look at it? Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Unless you have some kind of unnatural attraction to 2+2's I would pass. For 3k you can get a running 2 seater s30. Thats assuming (big assumption) 2k is going to get that car up to par. Quote Link to comment

Thats assuming (big assumption) 2k is going to get that car up to par. No I don't. Can you just take the seats out in the back or is the body/frame made different for the 2+2s? Haven't looked at it yet but just seemed like a good starting point. This is why I asked for more information as I a new to the Z cars. Quote Link to comment
jvb5577 Posted November 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Nevermind just read up on it. I see what you are talking about the 2+2 now. I will pass on this. 11in added to the wheel base so it is a frame difference. Bummer thought this was going to be a good one. Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Ya there is an added length and weight to the 2+2. Thats fine if thats what you want really but if your not looking for a 2+2 I was advise waiting. Good deals come up on 2+0's just be patient. Quote Link to comment
jvb5577 Posted November 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Alright. What are some things to look for, like what are some things that are hard to find for these that you would want on or with the car? Quote Link to comment
dirty-mik3 Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Alright. What are some things to look for, like what are some things that are hard to find for these that you would want on or with the car? try to get one as close to complete as possible, mine needed quite a few things to put it where i want it and about 2k later its just about all iv hoped id ever have. (keep in mind, i started with a running driving car with no body, paint, or rust repair needed) i have learned the hard way though, that small, seemingly easy to find parts are often very expensive. bumpers specifically are much more expensive than i would have expected, plus you need all the hardware and brackets to go along with them. most z car parts are about 2 hundo each if youre looking at new parts, (eg: coilovers, bumpers, louvers, air dam, flares, seats, carpet, carbs, steering wheel, cheap tires). just take a mental note of everything that would bug you when you drive the car, and try to come up with a guess as to how much it'll take to get it where you'd like PREVIOUS to buying the car. Iwaited until after i had already traded my daily haha main thing to look out for issue wise is rust, check floor pans, rocker panels, tail gate area, and battery tray. also a in the spare compartment, but thats an easy fix. 1 Quote Link to comment
jvb5577 Posted November 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Some good point above. The thing that hurts me and make prices go up a lot more than where you guys are from is CALIFORNIA. I have to get a pre-smog, well want, and everything pre smog here is twice the amount. Its pretty hard to score a good deal on cars, they go FAST. I will keep a lookout for a better deal but after looking a little more into this it seems it has been on CL before, a month ago.

EricJB Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Would almost be worth it for a rust free one. You guys would never forgive me for what I did to it though. Quote Link to comment

Now looking for something else to tinker on! Would almost be worth it for a rust free one. You guys would never forgive me for what I did to it though. WHAT!? Quote Link to comment
EricJB Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Gut it, put the running gear from my 521 in it and drag race it. After I repainted it orange, of course. 1 Quote Link to comment
