eBay Find: '77 280Z, LS1 Swap

Take a light weight body, drop a light-weight-big-power V8 behind the front wheels, add a 6 speed manual trans, and a dash of big sticky rubbers and you've got a recipe for super car levels of performance. An LS1 powered S30 Datsun is on our bucket list in a bad way. This '77 280Z isn't Smog friendly but it is possible to get this car BAR'ed and passing smog with a good amount of work. While visually stunning for being stripped of it's chrome, the LS1 looks to have been installed with great care. Amazingly, this car has retained it's air conditioning and could end up being a daily driver for the next owner. The seller states that this car is an almost complete project but does not mention what's missing or necessary to complete. We love the subtly widened quarter panels that retain a very stock look. This is an incredibly well done Datsun and we wouldn't hesitate to place a bid. Find it here, in Gretna, LA, with current bid at $8,600, reserve not met.
