Well it is done...I have sold my last 280zx, my 1979 coupe. She is off to bigger and better things. She will first be going to a body shop where she will receive a ZXR paint scheme. The person who bought it works for Paramount pictures and he is quite the Nissan fan. Who knows...it may end up in a movie.
Some of you are probably wondering why I would sell it, well I sold alot of black interior panels last October and I have not been able to ship them. I don't like screwing people over and even though I got some help from a person on this forum I was still unable to ship the parts. He knows who he is and I am still very thankful to him. So what I did was list my ZX on the local Craigslist at 2am and within an hour I got an email for the listing. He gave me a down payment which was enough to ship the parts finally to the guy from Hybrid Z's.
With the rest of the money I will be getting my DL back and I will be bringing the Kawasaki LTD 440 home. The LTD 440 will be my main mode of transportation for a long time. If and when the price of gas comes back down to a reasonable price per gallon I will begin the search for another ZX...a Turbo, only this time in better shape than the one I had.
Well, that is where I am at right at the moment...Zless........for now. Just thought I would let everyone know. Oh yeah...I was going through the shed and I still have some parts from my Turbo...the T-Tops with bags, AFM, and a few small items...they are for sell if anyone is interested. Just send me a P.M.

Maybe you need a break man, these things are moneypits. Get your stuff together and then get a good one.

Well Nismo...I got the 440 home and I have already made some progress. I have installed two new NGK plugs and a battery. I finally got to test it to make sure it still turns over and all the lights work and the engine spun when I cranked it. She didn't start but I new it wouldn't, the gas is 2 years old. I found an oil leak and fixed it now there is a major gas leak near the carbs. Gonna take the tank off and fix all that junk. I ordered new hand grips and I still have to work on the front brake and throttle cables...they is locked up like Michael Vic!! Anyway, here is a pic of the bike guys...should hold me over till I can afford another Z.

im thinking Canada health care is free and they are nice people. when have you ever heard of school shootings in canada...never plus the beer is stronger there, and we all know it makes the women alot prettier.

i actually think zed is cooler than zee but if i said it people would think im weird and the Canadians are probably saying, all we need to do is teach them to say ZED instead of ZEE and say aboot instead of about...other than that I think they are cool.

That sucks man...too bad you had to sell the Z. If my friend does not follow through with my '83. I may put another engine in it..Clean it up...to be daily driver status..and maybe a little more..And then either sell it..or fix it up more..and keep it. Not sure yet...but yeah concentrate on your bike. And when you get financially stable. You will find another Z...to be proud of..Keep your head up man. You Rock in my book too bro'!
