For the one's who said bullcrap......

[Double_0_Rusty]

Finally I have gotten my new love home.....as you can see she needs some TLC, but I have the time, and money for it. Let the fapping begin....... Also, these are the only shots I got before my camera went dead. More pics to come, as I have cleaned it up. It needs work, has been sitting for 13 years untouched. 87k orginial miles.

62 Gto 250, paid for it over 4 years time.

does it run?

[Double_0_Rusty]

I haven't got it to start yet.....the motor will spin over...but the clutch and brakes are "froze" up. It needs a fair amount of work ( body wise ). But I should have it running next weekend.

[green91]

Wow man i am very envious of your new project. Id say you def have your work cut out for you though! Beautiful chassis.

[Double_0_Rusty]

Thanks green. I def will have to hone in some skills. lol Chevy tech workin on this thang....ugh:D

[Motivation]

nice project man... good luck with it! Props on a project that you don't see most people doing.

[green91]

LOL youll probably never see another one. These were rare in their own time, much less today.

[Double_0_Rusty]

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Def something that's going to take some time, to bring back to the "Fap" factor.

i call shotgun on first test ride

i call driver on the first test run... :ninja:

[Juggernaut]

Def one of the nicer kit cars I have seen. Good luck with the project

[Double_0_Rusty]

Hahahaha already fighting for a ride. hmmmm, no one but me gets the driver's seat. So, that means....Motivation gets to ride in Scotsman's lap. Deal?

[Double_0_Rusty]

Lol, I was waiting for that. Thanks man.

[green91]

I assumed it was a kit just because of the rarity of the actual car, but what are the tell-tale signs of a kit car over the real deal?

[Motivation]

lulz... umm... no thanks then. :lmfao: He might try to "shift gears" with out the actual shifter. :eek: :no:

Thanks Simon, I mean the pics show the differences. I was hoping y'all could tell that it was a kit. Nonetheless, I haven't seen any Kits of this car in all my life.

[Motivation]

kit or not, it's nice and something different...

[Juggernaut]

I assumed it was a kit just because of the rarity of the actual car, but what are the tell-tale signs of a kit car over the real deal?The pic Simontibbet shows the big details. However, since the car is black and so dirty it makes those details a bit harder to spot. That fuzzy pic of the interior is a Datsun if I'm not mistaken.

Yes! yeah, I mean I have 12k in it. The real deal goes for around 15 million, I think. Oh well. I am budgeting another 5k for it. It will look hella better by next sept.

[dragoncelica]

Nice find of a Datsun 240z GTO kit car bro, it looks really nice good luck with it!

[Elbow]

There are of course some things different, but it's def. a well done kit, not like one of those cheapo crap Fiero kits some people do. Can't wait to see it done!

[noridetoolow]

well of course the REAL DEAL woulda been nice but being a kit...it should be SO MUCH FREAKING EASIER to get running and keep on the road. I know back in the day the favorite chassis for kit cars was the Mustang II....what is the foundation you are working with?

[Motivation]

at least it's not an mr2 with all the badging that revs up at the Varsity at everyong...

[dragoncelica]

i love it bro a nice LS1 in that with a t56 will be awesome.

[Double_0_Rusty]

yeah, it's not going to be hard to get running. I just have to replace vacuum lines, radiator hoses, brakes, ect ect. simple stuff. It was originally a 84 Datsun 280z. I have all the paper work the guy has put about 40k into the work done on it, and it's titled as a 1984 Alpha Ferrari. One owner!

[Double_0_Rusty]

ohhhh man, that has crossed my mind ALOT. I think for now, I am going to leave it as it is.

that shouldnt be too bad....DEFINATLY much easier than getting a real Ferarri to run after 13 years! :goodjob: That and you will get the nice engine tone from a Japaneese 4 cyl vs a Ford V6!

[green91]

4cyl huh?

[FasTech]

Yeah regaurdless to it being a kit car, you don't ever see this hardly! I most deff. wanna see more on the build. Very awesome man. Reps!

[noridetoolow]

4cyl huh?

AHHHH>...ya got me! 280Z...straight 6 right?? Its been a WHILE! lol

[Got Milk?]

aaaaa damn what a nice project. I also want a ride in that thing, i dont care if i sit on someones lap. :D

[noridetoolow]

i would be happy to wash it! ;)

[Scotsman]

aaaaa damn what a nice project. I also want a ride in that thing, i dont care if i sit on someones lap. :D:ninja:

[StraightSix]

That kit used a 240/260/280Z. The 280ZXs had a much more plush interior. Plus, the door panel gives it away, straight up original Z-car door panel. Also, 1984 was the first year of the Nissan 300ZX, which differed even more from the the 280ZX.

My Dad sold a 1978 280Z to a guy who was going to use the car for this kit. I have seen one in person at a Z show some years ago, and done right the kit looks really, really good.

[dragoncelica]

aaaaa damn what a nice project. I also want a ride in that thing, i dont care if i sit on someones lap. :D

BBBBAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA:bump:

[Double_0_Rusty]

Dang at all the guest veiws......wonder if someone wants to buy this????? hmmmmm?

[EM1toEVO]

Sick project car Rusty! I can't wait to see the finished product. Athens meets will never be the same. :D

[Dwisforme05]

thats gonna be sick when its done. nice man.

[Dracc]

so i get to drive it around when i come home right

[twincannon26]

one of my dads best friends growing up had one of these, all it did was sit in the garage tho. first time i saw it i freaked out cause i thought it was a real ferrari. think i was 14 or so. eventually sold it to a guy that entered it into some bullrun contest i saw on cardomain a while back.

if you wanna swap a small block into it, i can help ya. best of luck on what will be an amazing car.

[Bud]

looking good bro. looking for aint and body? bring it down to moonshine in winder. well get that beast looking new ha. pm me if you intersted.

I know a guy that specializes in restoration if you need a body man.

[BKgen®]

beautiful. even though it's a kit car, please do it justice.

[Me86Rob]

welcome to the Z car family :ninja:

[XLR8NMR2]

nice project

I would restore it and sell it for madddddd profit...

Werd!:D

[Double_0_Rusty]

It's getting painted the same color as the one in the pic above. I will do this car justice, and then prolly sale it for mad bank.

[EJ25RUN]

My only suggestion.

[OneSlow5pt0]

u need to deff go the LS1/6 route...i see tons of Z cars with em,so sure wouldnt be to hard and have very nice performace with the looks

[speedminded]

Before I read a single reply I'm going to say that's 100% 240z, lol.

[Kaiser]

Before I read a single reply I'm going to say that's 100% 240z, lol.

I'd say that's probably a 240z as well from the interior, but it's too fuzzy to tell for sure, there's minor differences in the interior from 240-280 but not huge ones. A cleaner shot of the interior would probably make it easier. Definitely an S30 Z-car, I'd venture to say it's probably a 74, and not an 84 and the guy just got his decades wrong.

If you want to REALLY do it justice...Remember 250 GTO's came with 3.0L V12's. Older BMW V12's are readily available for quite cheap, and with the money you save getting the block, you can spend on custom machine work to make the mounts. If you get a custom crank and rods you can even lower the displacement to get closer to the real Ferrari experience.

There's lots of guys on HybridZ.org who can help you more too, several of them have Kit 250's on their S30's.

[RUFFIAN]

I like it. A car like the Noble is a kit too. If it is done great who cares if its a kit? go forth and kick ass.

[Elbow]

A Noble isn't a kit car. A Ultima is. And they aren't exotic copies...that's the difference lol...............

[fawk_you]

very nice.

[1439/2000]

I like it. A car like the Noble is a kit too. If it is done great who cares if its a kit? go forth and kick ass.

But a Noble isn't trying to be anything but a Noble. This is a Datsun trying to be a Ferrari. Like a Pontiac trying to be a Lamborghini.

Its a okay kit but I dont think you will bring top dollar with it or anything.

It's a 280z. Thanks for the info, will be checking in to it.

Never did I say that it would bring top dollar. I have alot in it, and would be happy to get more out of it, that is if I really do decide to sale it....which I doubt. I see it, as being a nice replica when it is "restored", and you left out one other notable kit car, fox body Mustang trying to be a Shelby Cobra. I don't see anything wrong with a kit car, unless it's just not built in a tasteful manner. Basically, I could care less if others don't like it because it's a Datsun trying to be a Ferrari, that isn't why I got it. I've never in my life seen one on the road like this, so yeah. Also, I'm not being an ass, just sayin'.

[EJ25RUN]

I have brought this up before. Kit cars are not the problem. It is usually their owners lying about what they are. (Obviously not in this case).

The reason i say that is because it is possible to put together a kit car and have a quality product. Cobra kits have been doing that for 30 years.

In the case of this car, Ferrari made barley any GTOs and a real one is north of 10 million so.....kit car in this case is the only realistic option.

:cheers: You are teh man, man! No homo:crazy:

[Nismo]

Why not try and find an old Ferrari motor to put in it?

[Elbow]

^Because in the end it's still a Datsun lol.

That's too much work anyway, you could buy a real Ferrari 348 or something for as much as that swap would cost.

[jr4mny]

very nice, 1 of my favs

[RhdDc2]

That car is going to be sick! Very original project. Best of luck and looking foward to seeing the project when its done. Congratulations on an amazing purchase

[Double_0_Rusty]

Thanks guys, more pics to come!

[Nismo]

How much was it that you had to pay for it over 4 years?

[Double_0_Rusty]

12k. Just been paying here and there. Spaced it out overtime to help save for the budget on it.

[VooDooXII]

I just fainted.

[RSX-S]

wow thats sick, nice to see something different

[AlliRae]

i love it bro a nice LS1 in that with a t56 will be awesome.

you will never be able to put any power down with it. if you use the t56.

[AlliRae]

nice find rusty... not bad at all.

[NAIZBST]

very nice .. good project

[Double_0_Rusty]

Thanks everyone! Due to the holidays, I haven't even touched it, other than covering it up.

[BTEC]

i thought it was a 280z with ferrari sticker on the side in the 1st pic. :dunno:

so, youre saying "shit'll buff out" ?

[cactusEG]

dude what happen to the celica project ?

[Double_0_Rusty]

Btec - it could possibly be buffed out, but I'm not going to worry with it. I am having it repainted, and some minor body work done.

Cactus - I sold the '74 Celica 3.8 to Bugman. I kicked myself in the ass. I am not going to sell this one, though.

[Imadaman]

good luck,hope it turns out good.

[Double_0_Rusty]

thanks dude. I still havent gotten anymore pics, as it's dark when I get home. UGH
