Wanted: RHD Silvia or 180SX

I would like to buy a RHD Silvia or 180SX. The condition of the car is not that important, but the car must run. I don't care if the car has a U.S. title or not, just as long as there is some paperwork on the car that proves it is not stolen. I live in Pennsylvania and am limited to how far I can travel, so a local car is a plus, but not a must. If anyone out there has a RHD car, or knows someone that does, please get in touch with me. I have cash waiting for the right car. You can E-mail me, or call (717)270-0949. If nobody answers, leave a message. Thank you!

Hmm wouldn't it be easier to simply grab a US 240, then buy a front clip.. and from there ask someone to put the two together. If everything looks good it's a simple matter of welding, and I'm sure multipled bodyshops can do it!.... I mean this is how all the limos are made, so there's got to be someone in your area that can do it.

Just a thought

I have thought of possibly going that route, but it seems like alot of work. I had a 180SX last summer that I paid $6000.00 for with a US title and everything. Some people are asking almost that for a clip. If I buy a clip and a decent donor car plus pay someone to put it together (I don't have the time to do it) I will most likely end up paying more in the long run. I guess I should have kept my 180SX, but I needed funding for another project at the time. I just figured I would buy another car when I had built my funds back up, but it seems there are less cars out there for sale now then there were a year ago. I'll find one sooner or later. Thank you for your reply. If you run into anything give me a hollar. Thanks again, Craig a.k.a. Silvia San

Sadly I am located in Lebanon, Pa. If I did live in California I could have probobly bought at least four cars by now. There just aren't may RHD cars available over here. Most of the cars that are here are drastically overpriced anyway. I bought my last 180SX for $6000.00 alittle over a year ago. I thought that was resonable, not a good deal, just reasonable. If I could find one in the same shape now for that price I would be tickled pink. If you have any info on the cars for sale in Cali, I would greatly appreciate it if you pass it on to me. You never know, If I can't find one here, maybe I'll have one shiped over. Thanks a lot, Craig

Ill give ya as much info as i can, The 180sx is for 5k, no engine (i dont think ur interested in that one) And the S13 is the aero model (Q? K? forgot) And is going for 6k or 7k i forgot. Cali is the place to be man for the import scene...i dont think anything compares to all the stuff we have here.

Yea man, if you are from Harrisburg you know exactly what I am talking about. It seems everyone around here is still into Hondas and Volkswagons. There are not many S13's around period, so finding a RHD car is even harder. I bought my last 180SX near Martinsburg, W.V. (about two hours and 45 minutes away). I think in time people in our area will start to catch on. I am starting to get more and more people commenting on my 240SX coupe these days. A year ago hardly anyone even knew what it was. As drifting catches on over here, I believe these type of cars will catch on as well.
