SOLD: 1976 Datsun 280z

[George Watkinson]

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this group and have recently been sucked into the Z world. I have bought both a 240 and 280 from Cali and wanting to sell the 280 in order to work on the 240 and restore properly.

This is a rust free 1976 Datsun 280z. It has just been UK registered. Fantastic original Datsun colour. Manual gearbox, low milage. I have just changed the fuel pump and spent 500 pounds trying to get it running, but the fuel injection needs some work on the ECU. When this is fixed it will run.

I will take 7,495 for the car as it is, or, 5,495 without the engine, gearbox, pedal box etc so I can put them in the 240.

Hi George

Where are you. Would be interested in this without the engine etc.

 

[George Watkinson]

I’m in Winchester, Hampshire. The car, however, is currently at the garage in Shepton mallet. If you’re interested I could see if he doesn’t mind you popping over to look at it?

Thanks George

As we said earlier I think I may have done you a favour in scaring the guy into driving round the corner and using the Buy It Now on eBay!

The car is not as up together as I thought it would be but does look solid. If the buyer reneges I'm prepared to go the whole 7.5K for the whole car or 5K for the car without engine and gearbox if that is acceptable to you. The interior needs a lot to bring it back, its the engine that makes the whole package.

Good luck with the 240!

Thanks

Jim

Thanks Jim. He’s paid me a deposit so looks like he will. Sorry for the hassle. I need to try and find a 280 engine now for the 240
