Finding Project Cars in a Junkyard

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I can't believe how many rust free and straight project cars were found in this junkyard. A modern Porsche Roadster catches me off gauge, along with the Mazda RX8 with a 13b still in it.
Do you feel as tho the Ford Probe was an attempt to combat the market with the 240sx?
After coming across a mint BMW E36 sedan in the yard, I feel the need to own one now.. The Nissan Z Z31 is becoming a rarity. Unfortunately this junkyard had many 300zx to pull parts from.
I venture deeper into the yard and stumble across some very interesting itemS...

    I can't wait I'm totally excited. Junk yards are usually a $2 classroom. I was told when I was young that a junkyard is a place to learn. It's kinda crazy to see other states that have tons of rust when cars here in Oregon get scrapped because they are unwanted projects.

    Quick lesson... The E36 that was black was a 318 you don't want it. It's 4 cyl. And it's easier to actually find the 6 cyl... The Mitsubishi diamante is actually a cool little family race car. They had a turbo version and they actually have decent HP stock n/a. Also you missed 3 2j's 😅 also the 4 motion vws typically came big brake.

    As a second gen probe owner I can kinda see the resemblance of the 240 in it, especially with the wrap around rear windows. Personally I think it’s a good car by itself, fwd sucks but that puts it in the same class as the Integra and the prelude. Fun underrated car that is still really cheep to buy to this day.

    That 300ZX with the digital dash reminds me of the one I used to own back in the 90s. Nice ride but it constantly needed work and I couldn't keep up with it. The digital tach was more like a bar graph that went horizontal, and it also indicated intake manifold vacuum. The higher the bars went vertically, the more the engine was being worked. It was neat, when it worked.

    Thumbnail takes my back. I helped rebuild 2 Z31 project cars. One was red, the other, white… About 15 years ago, I was 21 and I knew I wanted to get an old rwd JDM car. I ended up with a white na 86 FC RX7. A week later, my best friends lil brother bought a gold 88 FC RX7. About 6 months later, my best friend bought a red na 85 Z31. A week later, his lil brother bought an na 86 white Z31. So 2 z31’s, and 2 FC’s altogether. We spent many, many hours over the next few years rebuilding those cars. Mine was a lemon. I sold mine a year and a half later and bought a Mustang. My best buddy’s lil bro sold his z31 cause he couldn’t support 2 20+ year old project cars while in college. Then my best buddy had a bad accident delivering food. He hit a jaywalker running across the street wearing all black on a dark rainy night. Jaywalker was fine, but my buddy was shaken up and sold his red z31 after that. His lil brother continued building his gold RX7 til he put $10k into it only to have the apex seals blow. He sold it at a HUGE loss after that. Now I have a 14 Fiesta ST, my buddy has an 08 Civic, and his lil brother bought a 17 Elantra.
