myzblubyu Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Can anyone identify this body kit. I just bought it on Ebay and I would like to try and find out who made it. Thank in advance. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3984Q2em1439Q2el2649QQitemZ330608119583QQsspagenameZSTRKQ3aMEWNXQ3aIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB240zDET Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Man who ever got that is one lucky guy....Might be a knock off IMSA body kit or might be the real deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 tuff z Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Stolen for the price. I too have never seen that kit, it may have a stamp or marking on the back side of 1 or more of the panels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myzblubyu Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 Stolen for the price. I too have never seen that kit, it may have a stamp or marking on the back side of 1 or more of the panels. I will be picking the panels up this coming Sat. I'll post on here if I find a name or a stamping on it. I seen most of the kits out there andbthis one reminds me of theb1980 IMSA GTO /GTU 280zx. I'll be putting this on my green '72 along with a built ZZ4 engine topped off with a FIRST fuel injection system and a stand olone computer with distributor less ignition. Now I need a rear diff. The motor is currently in a '84 Buick Regal and it ran in the high 11s. This will be my winter project with my oldest boys, Automotive Technology 101, first I need to get my '90 IROC out of my garage... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOTHALOSISM Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I saw that and was going to bid on it untill I saw that it was local pick up only. I do know a guy that has the molds to remake that kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know a guy that has the molds to remake that kit. Do you know the name of the kit or the company that designed it? Would he sell the molds? That would have been a nice drive from Vegas...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayven14 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I was going to suggest buying them and making molds but if a set already exist... why bother. Interest would be a factor also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myzblubyu Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 I was going to suggest buying them and making molds but if a set already exist... why bother. Interest would be a factor also This is the kit from Ebay... I picked it up last weekend and there is no stamping on the inside. The seller told me that his father bought this kit over twenty years ago in Carlisle, Pa... I have never seen this body kit before. The front fender is a bolt in, door is a skin and factory rear quarter would need to be cut and the fg put on with adhesive... How hard is it to make molds of these pieces??

mario_82_ZXT Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Wow, that's like a mix of box flares and an IMSA kit. Anyone know of any finished? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehelix112 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Hehe.. I was thinking that. It has that unique factor, but I'm definitely not a fan. The lines from the guards to the door don't look to match up very well at all.. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PR280z Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 (edited) Looks like the California Kit.Lets see if i have a pic somewhere of it.Could it be this kit??? Edited September 17, 2011 by PR280z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PR280z Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Sorry! i just so the rest of your pics on your car.My bad !! You might have a custom kit there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lines from the guards to the door don't look to match up very well at all.. Dave Actually the lines are very good, it's the overlying of the panels that makes it looks bad. The fender is a direct rplacement, it was off big time just hanging on the original fender. I wanted to get an idea what it would look like and for those on this site. I was hoping that someone could identify it. The kit is very unique and should make my 240Z very different. For $200.00 I couldn't go wrong...lol Edited September 18, 2011 by myzblubyu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I restored my 75 280z 2+2 I wanted to try and find a kit like that one for it and it didn't happen. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.107669799246791.13649.100000113141735&type=1#!/media/set/?set=a.107669799246791.13649.100000113141735&type=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZXR_KiD Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I seem to remember seeing something VERY similar in an old Hot Rod & custom car Pictorial from the late 70's maybe early 80s that I'd found in an old dresser my mom bought... I think I still have it but I'll have to find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
