Just testing waters right now since I may get out of the drifting scene and just focus my tuning dollars on the Yaris. The car is a 1975, which means it's the first year of the 280Z. From what I gather, that's very rare. I bought the car on here a few months back and since then have put in a lot of time and effort to get her cleaned up and up to performing standards. It has the oil pan dropped out of it right now as I'm cleaning and resealing it. The spark plugs will soon be replaced as well since it needs them. The body is in great condition with no rust. Needs a new front passenger side fender and there is a small dent under the driver-side door. A rear bumper wouldn't hurt either but the stock one weighed about 80 pounds. The car has only seen one drift event.

This is not a daily driver. This is a purpose built drift/race car so if you're looking for something comfortable for a drive to the mall, look elsewhere.

This is purely a hypothetical post. If someone offers $5000 or somewhere close to it, then I'd let her go. Low-ballers go elsewhere. The cost of the car, engine, parts, and the time I've put into it are well worth $5K.

good luck with the sell! If i had the cash and room to place it, I would be all over it. Because of its age, i dont think it has to pass emmissions inspection right? anyways, bump for a timeless classic.
