lol. the more I read this thread, the more jealous I get. What are the odds, honestly.
I can't wait to hear what info is found out from the owner on how it got all the way to GA under a bunch of leaves.

He bought it from a shop in Norcross GA, with intentions of restoring it. The car is up in Dawsonville GA, so if I can make it up there this weekend I will take a pic of the vin and title. Being a 79 it does not need a title...

Freakin nice. Keep us posted. If you didn't want that thing and it was running I'd tell you to put me in contact with the owner and I'll come get it and drive it home! (well maybe tow it after it broke down. heh)
man, that's like some guy having a old stingray corvette sittin under a few layers of dust in Japan.
can I come live with you till I get my money situation figured out!
Man I just love Z's. Mirrors on the hood rock! I wish they gave us cars like that

holy shit
BUY IT
seriously. it doesn't look as awful as the people here are whining about, lol. it's moldy, OH NOEZ!!!!!! a bit of muscle power will get that crap off. I really don't see much rust, as others have mentioned, check under the carpets and in the wheel wells, lower control arm and firewall.
This is a super rare car, to let this pass would be borderline retarded. I honestly hate 2+2 Z cars, but beings that this is a Fairlday, this ain't no joke.

oh and put something interesting in there, hell even if you have to use a crappy ol 5MGE and W58 for now to putt around in until you can do up a sexy RB26 swap :naughty:
Get an L26. Restock it. New tranny should cost nothing from a junk yard. Then do somthing fancy. ITB's or turbocharge it.
Well if anything else im sure i could fix it up a little and find a Z guy to sell it to and make a decent profit :-D
I have a mint 74 280zx here with the inline 6 and SIDE DRAFT CARBS.
It needs to be repainted, and a windsheild. Other than that, the car is mint.
PM me and we'll talk.... ps its original Datzun white.
