1977 Datsun 280Z

[Matt300ZXT]

To make a long story short, this car used to be my daily driver for a while. Had a few electrical gremlins, but it wouldn't stop me from taking it all over town without any real worries. I removed the dash to sandblast the interior where there was some surface rust, put rust converter on what was left, and primed/spray painted over it to protect the metal. The interior is still mostly stripped, but I do have the stock dash and gauges that can be re-installed in a short time. I put the battery back in it and it won't crank, I'm thinking when I removed the dash, it kept some circuit from being completed or something, so that's why it won't fire. But 100% honost, it would fire up and idle and I even drove it around the block a time or two before I started stripping the insides. If someone wants to v8 a light weight rear wheel drive car, or put in a turbo engine or whatever, it's a perfect candidate.

The car has cross drilled rotors up with coilovers up front, European Z tail lights, aftermarket exhaust (sounds real nice), aftermarket swaybars, and I think that's it.

I planed on rewiring the car with an EZ Wiring kit to eliminate the electrical gremlins, and putting Autometer mechanical gauges in the dash but I do not feel like going through the trouble of putting the dash back in just to see if something unplugged from there is what's keeping the car from running. If someone would like to purchase the car as is at a lower price than what I was asking before I started, and before I go through the trouble of rewiring it, I would sell it as is. If you're interested, make a cash or trade offer.

wheels included and how recent were those pics?

[Matt300ZXT]

The 5 spoke 17s are long gone and those pics in that field were shot probably a year and a half ago. The 2nd link with the car sitting in my yard are maybe like 3 months old. The chrome 16s come with the car. I'm willing to let it go for $1000 bare minimum, but at that price it won't come with any of the extra goodies, like the 2nd bumper (that's in better shape than the one in the pics, just not painted the same), the 3.9 spare diffy, turbo exhaust manifold, boxes of spare emblems, gauges, tail lights, switches/sensors, etc. It will of course come with it's dash and original gauges. I will also throw in an extra chassis wiring harness that came out of a 75. A couple small things will be different in it, but it's in better shape than what came in the car, and could be checked out and cleaned and re-used instead of having to do a full wiring job like you would with a Painless or EZ Wiring kit.

I'm looking to sale this so I can get my friend's 87 Starion from Kentucky and put a 302 with a T5 in it.

how easy is it to put a v8 in these cars? what is a good site that has info on these cars. and starions are badass man, my buddy here in town has one, turbo'd pretty nice.

[Matt300ZXT]

It's super easy to drop a v8 in the Z. In fact I've sourced the mounting kit for the v8 for $75 plus shipping. All you'd need is the tranny mount, which you might be able to convince the guy to ship. An experienced wrencher could probably have the motor pulled, mounts installed, and the v8 mounted in all within the same day if he had good tools and a buddys help.
