Datsun 280Z

[jewbacca02]

Anyone know the stock horsepower/torque of a 1976 Datsun 280Z? I found one with 47,000 miles, 1 owner, Florida car for around $4000. Is that a good deal? And PLEASE tell me what the hp is, I want to know if it's worth it to buy this car.

I think that Z is a great deal for that price with that little miles... hows it look? Good shape?

Good thing about the old Zs is the 280zx turbo motor bolts right in... find one at a junkyard, throw it in, and have some fun...

Actually... just about any motor can be put in a Z... check out hybridz.org
