70's Datsun 240z/260z/280z(S30) Appreciation

[grizzla1024]

That 72 GT-R is one of my all-time favorites. Would love one of those.

These cars are my childhood favorite. I used to draw these in preschool hoping that one day I would own one.

Classic!

i'd love to buy a 240 and fix it up

I love all Z cars but the 1st generation 300ZX is the ugliest IMO

Be extra picky.

Why you say that? Because they get abused?

Yes and end up with owners who cheap out on things or neglected basic maintenance. If you have a competent mechanic look over it though (suspension, electric, mechanical etc) then you should be fine. Be sure to look at several in person and dont be the guy who buys the first one he sees.




Sooo I was the guy who bought the first one I saw

Here's my 240 S13 I bought today for $1,100. It runs and the only thingit needs so far is break calipers. Interior is decent, 6/10. Would it be worth keeping and swapping the engine, or fix the calipers and sell it for about$2,100 and get another one possible with the engine swap already done? The body is decent and only has a couple of minor issues. Check it out...
