Craigslist Find: '77 280z, L28ET

We spend a great deal of time lusting after RB or 2JZ swapped Datsuns. The reality of driving a RB powered car in the States is probably pretty grim when it comes to replacing parts in a timely fashion. We'd probably have to "over nigh parts from Japan" should anything go wrong in a daily driver situation. This L28ET powered 280z is a bit more common place than the RB and parts are plentiful, even in your local salvage yard. This car looks great and appears to have been built right. This car may prove to be difficult to smog being that it's '77 but if you live outside of Commifornia, you should be fine. The seller states that the interior is missing some parts, the speedometer doesn't work, the fuel gauge doesn't work, and the heater blower motor doesn't work. All pretty minor when you consider that the seller is asking only $6,000. Find it here in Centennial, NV.
