I bought this car with great intentions, but I have a 73 240Z that is quite frankly in better shape. This car has rust, but it has potential for someone that has more bodywork skills than I do. Pictures of any angle or location of the car that you need will be taken upon request. The reason that this car is in bad shape, is that the person that I bought this from left it sitting outside for a year and did absolutely nothing with it, but disassemble parts and leaves them laying...this is really the reason that I bought it is because it is basically the best and last ZX made, and I was going to make it right. If no one wants the complete car...then I will start parting it out, I really want someone who is interested in this complete car first since this car has great potential being all original. I also have a MSA downpipe that I just bought today because they were on sale that will go with this car. My zip is 31804, about 1 1/2 hours southwest of Atlanta, next to Ft Benning, GA. This car had not title when I bought it, you will get a bill of sale, GA law does not require a title for cars older than 1985...check your state. 

 

**UPDATE** Replaced ECU today and the engine fired up and died a few seconds later...vacuum hoses are rotten and I will be getting to them shortly, but it should run once those are fixed. Everyday I do something to improve this vehicle, I am working on putting the interior back together between school, work and kids...I will keep updates on here as I get them. Good Luck

Due to the numerous questions about the same thing, this car does have rust, it does not run, but everyday I am repairing it as I can. I know what the car is worth just from the parts that are on it and this is a fair price, but to reaffirm this car does need body work, but what can you expect, the previous owner left it outside for over a year. I have a friend in Atlanta that is going to let me borrow an ECU to see if I can get the engine running, which I believe it will. I just want to give someone the opportunity to get a complete car before I part it out. Consider this a project car, I am just being honest.

I adjusted price to reflect the cost of an ECU.
