Junkyard & "Out to Pasture" Zs

Featured Replies

Here's a junkyard 4 miles north of Denton, TX that has some complete Z-cars for sale including a 260Z G-nose:

Hey!! I just found this place myself a few weeks ago on my my OKC trip to pick up my most recent addition to my Z car family. They are right next to a drag strip also. Browse their site...they've got some REALLY cool old cars on their lot!! Too bad they were closed when I was by there...they are only open M-F I believe.

The first two pics of the blue Z are from the Wangan Midnight movie, so they are fake, only meant to look like a junk yard find. I doubt you would never find a complete Z like that in a boneyard today.

^I am glad I am not the only one to catch that. Could you imagine an S30 that nice in a junkyard like that!!???

This poor Z had a very heavy Cadillac dropped on her.

So sexy that the Caddy couldn't help but mount her...LOL

While taking my Mom back to her home after Christmas I spotted a Z in a auto wreckers. I pulled in for a quick look and found two, a series 1 and a series 2. As the family was waiting in the car I did not have much time to look them over. Of course no camera, I even forgot to check the vin number:stupid:. I will be going back in Jan so will check then. It is a shock to find a S30 in a auto yard around here let alone two. I did manage to pick up this for $20 while I was there.

Only $20.00, that's a great price, especially since it's all intact. If it turns out that the motor is operational, then you got a steal! I've been looking for one of those for a while now.

When you go back in January, please be sure to take some pics and let us know what else you find.

More important than the motor is the condition of the white nylon spool shaft. If the shaft is intact, that's a rare part indeed.
