So, remember a couple days ago how I said I was gonna start looking into researching ls swapping a 240-280z?

Well, I did some initial research….holy sh1t prices for old z’s are not what i remembered from 10-15 years ago.

I expected some increase in prices but damn. A beat to **** possibly rolled rust bucket was going for over 5k. I mean that’s just a parts shell.

Maybe wifey and I will just wait a few years and just pick up a new z35 at some point to go with our TT RS. She likes that idea as well. Not as cool but way less headaches.

Mine 1975 280z turbo is in the garage. I never sold it. After selling my 1974 1/2 260z and my 1978 280z I knew better than to sell this one. I sold my 1990 300zxtt and keep the 1975.

Are you trying to suggest there aren't people that stupid?

Nice. Smart man. I think the “picking up an old z to restomod” ship has sailed for us. I can’t justify the expense. A z35 will be in our future at some point down the road.

Went to to doc appointment. Can't do blood work today. I can only get A1C test done once every 90 days. Today is day 85 since last test. So I go back on the 10th.
