I am putting up for sale my custom-built Datsun 280Z. I spent the better part of last year building this car with help at my shop, and cut no corners on the installation. It runs and drives perfectly on the swapped turbo motor at about 12 psi of boost. There is no significant rust on the body; the floor pans are free of rust, and the only notable rust is under the battery tray, and where the frame has scraped from the low ride height. The car even still has working A/C, I believe the condenser has a leak that is preventing the A/C from holding a charge. I am just looking to get back out of this car the money I spent in parts, not including the professional labor put in to building this car. This was going to be the promotional/show vehicle for my side business, Urban Legends Motorsport, but I had to reprioritize my funds. The only thing this car needs to be in show condition is some body work to cover the moldings, mirrors and bumpers I removed to give it the 240z look. All fluids have been flushed and recently filled with factory-specified fluids.

Asking $12.5k currently. Would be willing to do a trade+cash on your end, let me know what you have. MUST be manual transmission for me to even consider it.
