    1975 camaro

    1982 Nissan 280zx DD

    This wa my first car that I sold to a friend for 3500 bucks to buy and work on my 75 camaro, my buddy called me and said hey I'm selling the Z for 1000 bucks, you want it? I jumped on that shit the next day. Here she is! car handles like a go cars and gets awesome gas milage!









    It needs a little work but nothing major. New condencer, blower motor, minor body work and the synchronizers in 1st and second gear are starting to go out a little bit. I have plans to do a 2 inch drop all around, wheels, front/rear lip and side skirts. Maybe exhaust later. Goof for something like this



    How many 18 year olds do you know of thy has 2 cars that thy bought themselves and has restored one of them? I'd say in doing pretty good for myself

    I like it! How long was it gone that the guy only wanted $1,000 back for it? Was the $3,500 you sold it for reasonable?

    That's a good picture with the Camaro behind it, I really like the Camaro! But yep I say good for you, you've got two cars I would've loved at that age...

    being it's an '82, removing all of that junk underhood would make it nicer to work on. 25 years and older need no emissions components. Very nice for 1k

    1975 camaro

    Before inoriginaly sold it, it was in pretty good shape. A/c and heater worked, interior was just redone, had a new sound system, and the body was straight. At the time 3500 was a decent price. I got the car for free from a family friend who had it sitting in his drive way for 3 years. I have the camaro in the garage for now until Im done getting the z back in shape. I had to take the insurance off it, can't afford insurance on both cars along with my phone bill and gas. 180 for just liability, I can thank a idiot woman for stopping at a green light on a pebbly road -_-

    1975 camaro

    I'm planning on moving to lafayete Louisiana in the next 8 to 10 months with a buddy of mine. Were garanteed a job at his families lube shop making about 500 a week and splitting rent on a 400 a month 2 bedroom apartment. I want to get my degree in business management/ownership an eventually open up my own shop. The odds of it being successful are not that great but it is whatno want to do and if it doesn't work out I can say I tried

    Better to try and fail then sit back and wonder if it would have ever worked you know, just like the military when a new career comes along jump on it cause you never know where its going to lead you.

    That's awesome man mad props! Yeah the z is a really fun dd. I just wish it had more torque and power steering as good as the camaro. Every time I jump in the camaro for a drive around the neighborhood I forget how good the power steering is and how crappy the brakes are haha

    I love those cars. I want one, but its virtually impossible to find one in "drive it now" condition around here. I dont wanna a resto project. I love the way they look and handle like a dream. That straight 6 is one of the best engines Nissan ever made as well. Hell thats one of the best engines ever made period. The L series inline 6.
