Who would shell out tons of cash to power their 90 240sx with a RB and then sell it for 600? I think he's just jerk'n your balls.

sounds like a great project car. only thing that turns me off about swapped engines are the replacement parts...kind of hard to find and can also be expensive. that's the only reason i don't really want to do a swap in my car cause it's my daily driver. if i had a project car though, i'd be all over it.

Congrats to your friend.

Definitely THE best deal on any 240.... ever.

Now, if you can get him to sell it to you for a decent price, you could have the second best deal..

If this is legit, it's the best deal ANYONE has ever gotten on ANY automobile in the history of the damned things....

The previous owner seriously must've had a drug problem, or gamb|ing debts, or SOMETHING shady...

Dude, just because your friend needs to get rid of it, doesn't mean he'll sell it to you for $600.....

He could ebay that car for close to $10,000.

$9,400 in profit....I'd take that, it'd pay off my loan on the S14.
