Up for sale is my 1978 280z with less than 130,000 miles. I bought the car from the original owner over10 years ago and have been diligently restoring it ever since…brings me back to my high school days (my first car was a 1978 280z). But life has gotten in the way…recent divorce and the subsequent fallout mandates the sale. I hope my car end up with the right owner that will complete as I intended (no reserve auction with opening bid at a fraction of what I have invested as listed below without labor).
What has been done: Rebuilt Stroker Turbo engine, pgraded Z32 5-speed Transmission and Z31 LSD differential and reconditioned/ upgraded suspension. The LSD clutches were upgraded w/ thicker clutch plates for about a 80 lb/ftbreakaway which clunks/ chatter a bit when cold (comes with original clutch plates if you chose to return to stock).
