Very clean indeed....original tires? j/k I would have to say put it in storage and find a shell for your project. But that's just my opinion.

Why not?

It's a pos from the 80's not a Ferrari...

....because these cars have sentimental value to some people and possibly an increase in monetary value in the future. Anyways, it's too easy to find a tore up 240 for dirt cheap to turn into a project car.

That is for sure an awesome find. I am for sure on board for making it a project car- it would be AMAZING to have a slate that clean and perfect to work from. Do it up right!

That old lady smell will never leave that car. I'd take high milage, no grandma smell over low mileage anyday.

J/k Nice find! Swap in a 5 speed and sell that super fresh automatic transmission!

..43k unabused miles makes it a solid deal.

we bought my dads 79 trans am with 40 thousand original miles, sat outside for like 2 years, but just had a fresh paint job. Got it for 2500.

Im not really a speed guy, im really into looks. So i will install the nismo S-Tune suspension and the Nismo Lmgt4. The rest of the car will be stock. NO engine upgrades, well i did change the seats R32 seats. The stock seats feel like s***. But they are super clean.

Im also going to be taking the s13 to the dealer. Well the other dealer i worked for all the guys there are cool. So i will have them flush everything out. Trans, motor, coolant, ps, brake system. I want a good dependable car. I actually installed a koyo oem style radiator and nismo thermostat. The coolant is still dirty so i will have them use the coolant flush machine.

Great find!

I just installed nismo s-tune coils on my s14 and am still having a hard time believing the published spring rates. The thing rides smooth like stock (SE trim). You'll love the coils for DD.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

I want to tell you to go register it as a classic and store it away and just dust it off from time to time.

But................

I know that is not what anyone with a new project car wants to do. So have fun and DON'T BREAK THE STOCK STUFF SELL IT.

Keep us updated

One Love,
