So my friend was in the market to get a new car, after rolling his this winter. He was searching for a Corrado for a while, but really couldnt find one in good shape. This winter, his dad had a friend who wanted 8 grand for a 74 240z, but he told him that was not in his price range. So now, the guy is geting married and wants to get rid of the car quick. The Z is completely restored, and is clean as hell. Its a dark green color, with perfect black leather. The car is 4 speed and sounds, drives and handles just like it should. He ended up paying 4 grand for it, which I thought was pretty decent, considering the guy had like 7 into the body and 3 into the engine. Pics will come later.

I had to come home and didnt get a chance to take any yet. The thing is a two seater, so him and his girlfriend were cruising around. I'll probaly go over there after dinner and take some.

dude its 30 years old!!

Thats what I said, but after driving in it, its worth every penny. The car is mean.

Hes 20 years old like myself, and this purchase was kind of random. Heres the cars he had.

-88 Ford Tempo - Paid $100
-91 Honda Accord - Paid $1000
-96 VW Golf - Paid $4000
-74 240z - Paid $4000

He still has the golf, and will probaly store the Z in the winter and drive it till it dies.
