gdv350ss Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Looks like most of the build was well executed. Did notice that the rad support got hacked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Saw that. Gives me hope for my car having some value, though, since mine has even more value in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Paint and interior look real nice. Underhood is just OK IMO. It will be interesting to see where it winds up. jt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLATA Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) Wasn't this on Ebay about a month ago? I recalled a very similar Z but not with an LS1 mill . Edited January 6, 2015 by PLATA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryant67 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Wasn't this on Ebay about a month ago? It was, I recall seeing it before. Reserve wasn't met, at around $25k-ish I think. Sharp car, not much to dislike, it's clean looking and the interior has been left mostly stock, which is always a plus. Hood vents aren't my style, but hey, he tried something a little different there. Rad support being missing is interesting... Dislike what looks like a DIY front grill - although I also dislike the JDM one that looks like that as well. Some pics of the underside of the car would be nice. Biggest problem with that ad is the line "JUST TO MUXH TO WRITE UP THIS IS SHOW QUALITY BIG $$$$$$$$$$ MONEY INVESTED " If you want top dollar for your BIG $$$$$$$$ MONEY INVESTED car, you should NOT be too lazy to at least list some of the modifications on the car, especially when it's on ebay. Saying new suspension and upgraded brakes doesn't tell the buyer much at all, especially when you lace those modifications with exaggerated superlatives. Sorry for the little rant, just a personal pet peeve and I remember the headaches of dealing with listings like this when I was looking to buy my Z a few years back...

I agree, the more info on the mods will be a plus to a potential buyer at that coin . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Anybody concerned about that oil pressure? No, not if at operating temperature. My fully warmed up car with oil up to temp will usually idle at 20 psi or so. At first start up, though, I am up over 50 psi. I'd be more worried about the vacuum unless he has a cam.

BitchinZ Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 It was for sale in Florida in October, you posted about it here - http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/120053-a-hybrid-z-on-ebay-getting-good-bids/ $28k didnt meet the reserve then. I wonder if it sold off ebay and is for sale again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsommer Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 How about some under body shots? Was the car a full media restoration? I know mine is and I'd show the heck out of the under carriage because it's so clean! Could have used cleaner pictures too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Lot's of little things that worry me a bit. First and foremost is the missing radiator support. That's a structural item. The front strut tower braces hooked to the firewall but not each other - significantly reduces their ability to do their job properly. Radio - looks almost original - in a car with "significant expense"? I'm not paying big bucks for a 30 year old AM/FM. Interior - basically a refurbished stock interior. No real money here. Single exhaust out the back. If the exhaust is Y'd together and then run on as a single to out the rear then some HP is being left on the table. All-in-all it looks like someone took a generally nice Z, put a fancied up LS1 in it, and painted it. If they got bids up to $26,600 that way then one that lists all the sweet stuff should do even better. I don't think they listed more because there really wasn't any more to list other than the LS, some ZG flares so it can run wider wheels/tires, and the Autometer gauges.

PLATA Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 ^^^^ Good to see that Z's with a transplant are bringing good money. and yes the $$$$$$ is in the details plus with quality work/parts used . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
