Topher88 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 The other day i was doing my regular datsun search on CL and stumbled upon an Add for some guy selling two Z's 240 and 260 up in the high desert so before i knew it i called the guy and 3 hours later i was heded up there with two trucks and two trailers. The guy told me the cars were his sons back in the early 2000's and they had been sitting for some time. He said the black 240z on had a strait body and surface rust (we all know they usually play it off and there is really shit loads of rust holes) and that the car had an L26 with duel early SU's along with an upgraded rear end and 5 speed. He said the 260z was just simply a parts car and beyond repair so with that little knowledge i was ready to make a deal on the spot. Once i get up there i relise that we are in the middle of nowhere and i arrive to the sight of these two beauties There really was no visible rust on either cars other then the surface rust. I was pleasantly surprised and how strait both cars were but especially surprised at the black 240z. After some wheeling and dealing i ended up taking home both of the Z's and a random 81 510 was thrown in the bunch lol. Once i was able to get them home and start examining them more i came to find out that both cars were in fact 240's witch was a nice treat. I was also able to dig into it a little more and to my pleasant surprise the black 240 has 0 rust on the floors, 0 rust on the deck lid, 0 rust on the rockers and 0 rust in the trunk. [ As of right now the plan is to get the brown one nice and clean and sell it as a rolling shell, going to get the 510 running and sold and the black one on the other hand is going to be my new baby. Plans as of right now is to do this but we will see where time takes my taste buds. Here is the 510 I'm going to flip 2 Quote Link to comment

Should be getting it rolling here in the next week and Gona put it on here and CL oh ! well either way still seems awesome between the 3 datto's :cool: I towed 2 cars about 2 hours away a bit ago and that proved to be "interestingly" fun acheivment. Only took me 14-hours for pretty much everything. That's cool Topher and keep on keeping on !! :thumbup: These are awesome.. the perfect environment to find some abandoned D's... his place reminds me of the movie Tremors.. The Tremor's thought briefly crossed my mind .... immediately after that get drinks + snacks , .50 cal with ammo .. don't forget the binoculars ..then head to the roof... 1 Quote Link to comment
S13 b210 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Nice score, my 260z with built engine and triple 45's made me put my 510's to the side, but that was holy shit "20 years ago"! Man I'm old... The sound of triple carbs are just so addicting!! Quote Link to comment
Topher88 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Well I think the brown 240 is sold. After I get the pinks it should be going to a new home but I'm not holding my breathe yet... So far the plans with the black Z is too find myself an l28 block and slap on an E31 head that came with the cars. Hopefully find some triple 40's somewhere for a decent price. Going to have my buddy tear down the motor and do the rebuild of the motor. Also what's planned is to go threw the suspension and do coil overs all around. Right now depending on how much we get for the other 3 cars we are most likely just going to keep the flares stock and just add an air dam and spoiler along with the Z fender mirrors. Paint and body will also be on the top of the list. Now that we are going to have pinks for all the cars things should start rolling and get some cash flowing. Can't wait to dig into the Z Quote Link to comment
Topher88 Posted May 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Been a while since I have posted. Been super busy on this beast and my other baby. The car has been tucked away in my pops shop for the last few months so when the time came we did a little car shuffling Z my dad's and skyline is mine Finally time to dig in First up is suspension Guy drove the car drunk and a wheel fell off and caused this.... So we picked up this And this Also addressed the rear. I hate that pin with a passion!!! Picked up an LSD and some CV's and rear control arms. Quickly found out we need to do something with the stock control arm support the rear since the finned cover dosnt work. Picked up the power plant too More to come soon 3 Quote Link to comment
