Another one of my projects that I have finally accepted I will never have a chance to finish. I am going to trim down my collection in order to make space and improvements to the shop. This 260Z came out of eastern Oregon a few years back. The gentleman I had purchased it from had bought it as a project many years ago and started some body work/paint prep but stalled out. Currently running I was able to drive around the driveway on a plastic gas can. Fuel tank should be cleaned out. Starts only in N not in Park. Engine runs strong wants to rev freely, carbs will need adjustment. Choke works. Fresh oil change with OEM Nissan filter. It has worn teeth on flywheel so starter does skip occasionally. Brakes work, soft pedal should be bled. All lights, including under hood, dome and map lights. Turn signals worked for a bit, now some gauges are not working. Tach cuts out sometimes. Has had a repair on the radiator but I will include a good used replacement.
Excellent newer exhaust system.
The windshield is broken I have a new one available at added cost.
The seats are original tears and split seams and patched areas on the drivers side. The interior door and plastic panels are in great shape. As is the headliner and sun visors. No front carpet, rear cargo carpet is a aftermarket replacement. Original floor mats drivers side is missing fuzz. No front carpet. Diamond vinyl in back has some knicks, center hump is good. Great console. Dash has a cover.
The body is probably the best attribute to this project. Besides the front fender bottoms and some holes in flat sections of floors left frame rail bottom dented a bit, good pinch welds, no rust otherwise, great battery box area, the body of this Z is nice and mostly straight, has some minor dings. Some previous damage on rear panel behind bumper. Most likely due to its favorable climate in the desert. Including a rust free left side fender lower fender repair panel large enough to fix both sides.
The dealer added side trim pieces are includes but will need new rubber centers. All emblems included in good condition as are rain gutter and windshield stainless trim.
