They are getting harder to find. There are some in the Northwest and so cal and arizona. You should look there, also they have them on ebay. I need to get an alarm installed in mine, but the electrical system in this car is so 70's. There is one place for all the fuses in the car, and they are bus fuses. lol

This is one nice classic auto. Don't get me wrong though, it sounds like it will tear up the tarmac for what it is. I'm a big fan of this thing, makes anything made after the 300zx look like garbage. Thanks for the background, I thought it was interesting.

I'd like to see what you had to do to restore it to its condition. Was it hard to find parts, etc.

I bought it like this, its very expensive and hard to restore. Your better off just buying a california or arizona car to make sure it does not have rust. There is no two peice frame, its a uni-body, so rust is a real issue.

This car has been restored already. It does haul a$$, if I run it up to 7k and dump second, the tires screech and sometimes it fish tales a little, this is with 255's on the rear.


It's funny though, because today, I just got my a$$ handed to by a Plymouth duster. It was an ugly looking peice of $hit, but it was fast and loud.

Wow finding a rare care in great condition is hard to do. Good investment.

If you're such a fan, u shud get one too! U can get a restored z in decent condition for around 3-4k.

Yes, if its all original they can be upwards of 20,000$. If its a restor ite lowers value of the car, basically the more you go aftermarket, the lower the value of the car is. But it does not matter since they have been appreciating for a while now. In the next 10 years, these cars will hardly exist anymore...
