Description:

1978 Datsun 280z, with a Ferrari 250 GTO Body Kit. Great Kit.Condition of the car is in good condition.No known defects. I bought the car nearly two years ago, and never finished it. Now my priorities have changed.
I did make a lot of awesome changes to the characteristics of the car. I replaced the entire suspension system. All new bushings, all new inner and outer tie rods. Sway Bars on front and rear of car. New shocks. This car corners like a dream!!! I drive and race porsches and this car handles better than any porsche I have ever driven, takes a corner like a champ!!
Brand new Tires. Less than 200 miles on them.
New Clutch, points and distributor cap. The car runs good.
Things I think need to happen to the car. ..
The interior is original to the car. Needs to be updated. Its worn, and needs to be changed out to complete the 250 gto look.The motor runs good, so does the transmission. However, i think (i dont know for sure) its original to the car (1978) the odometer reads 02, 958 so who knows if its rolled once or twice?? I doubt its rolled twice, its got good compression, but to be honest to complete the tranformation, it needs a motor with much more Horse Power.
The car is located in Houston, Texas. I would hope a true prospective buyer would come before agreeing to purchase this car and drive it with me. We can drive it, beat it like a red headed step child then drive it some more. Its a fun car, most people have never seen a real 250 gto. It turns heads. This car would be nothing short of awesome if the interior were complete and the motor was changed out with a small block, or even fix this motor up with some rebello heads on it!! Google it, there is an elite following of these cars out there.
