Now mind you that I am absolutly broke and could not afford a new Z if I wanted to. I was looking around, window shopping if you will, and ran upon a couple of VERY nice 280ZX cars. It certainly would be nice to have a playmate for my Z. I was thinking, fantasizing actually:

Chevy 350 -w- T56 6-speed. Ram air. R230 rear end. [sigh]

I know, I should be flirting with the idea. Probably shouldn't be listening to those guys at www.hybridz.org at all.

Ya wanna cheap ZX for a transplant project??? I have just the car for you. It's already all cleaned out. The price? $fr.ee. That's right you read correctly. $0.00. Come'n get it!.

So how bad is it?

Well, its empty for starters. No drivetrain. Interior is stripped. Some rust here and there. A few dents here and there, but no bondo. The car does not appear to have ever been wrecked, but it is a bit banged up. Original paint (609). It's pretty bad. It's going to the crusher as soon as I get anything else valuable off it. I got it for free just for the master and clutch cylinders and steering rack. But it rolls. That's about all it does.

Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Thanks but it does seem a bit far to go for a rolling chassis. California is what, 1500 miles from Oklahoma?
