I've been wanting an older 240 fastback for a while. Friend had one that he offered to sell me, said it ran but needed a valve job. Wanted $700, I offered $500 cash right then and there and he wouldn't take it.

That was a couple months ago, his grandad told me tonight his mom's making him get rid of it. Went to look at it and the head's off, been off for a couple months. He's got two heads for it and everything else is there. KA24, five-speed, good exterior shape, interior's good (doesn't matter to me though...track car...like to replace the KA24 anyway...NOT for drifting)

Talked to him tonight he said $500 and I said no more that $350 and he accepted....so....

Should I do it? Engine isn't seized, sure I can get it running with a fresh rebuild. It ran before he pulled the head off a couple months ago.

 

a car for 350.00 i would do it thats cheap

 

get it....

/thread

post pics up tomorrow after u get it home

 

dude, get on that shit, i also have some parts you might want... ka pistons, intake manny, block, radiator. good luck with you

 

I'll take that as a go. I might get up with you on some parts...

Dunno when I'm bringing it home...sometime this week just dunno what day.

 

Jump on it, I would if I had the time to rebuild it.

 

Now my other question is...is the KA24 worth it? Here's the idea...

I'd like to have something just to tinker with for a bit and have a little fun with at the track. Not on a mission to build a beast or anything...but I do want something that will be quick and competitive in a street class...so I won't be sinking a lot of money into it but is it worth rebuilding for a good na engine?

Possibly turbo....?

 

dude for 350 you can get in it and strap on your seat belt at the top of a big hill in the country and have the time of your life flipping that bitch end over end til' the wheels fall off

 

Yeah $350 is nothing. I would buy in... no questions asked. I look forward to seeing your pictures.

 

i say buy it, rebuild it, boost the KA and call it a day!
