RB26powered74zcar Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I know you guys have seen Keith's thread in non tech forum, but I think this set up deserves its own headline Here is the RB26dett / 240z project for sale> http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=015&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=250093473663&rd=1&rd=1 http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=120008 j.

Stealth-Z Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I debated posting it here after seeing it on ebay yesterday. My stomach dropped because I know how much he has invested. Unfortunetly from what I have seen, no one buys ebay project cars unless they are silly cheap. With all the parts he has, I can see the vultures hovering about.

Zhadman Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Thanks Joel... don't worry... I'll be around. My stomach dropped because I know how much he has invested. Yeah... I've got about $17k in just parts! Nevermind the work that I have done on the body (well... the parts that are completed!). Unfortunetly from what I have seen, no one buys ebay project cars unless they are silly cheap. This is my fear, too. In the 24 hours since the listing posted, though, I have recieved lots of questions and have quite a few 'watching'. We'll see. I can probably make more money parting the car out...

ab0z Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I don't even know the seller, but it almost brings tears to my eyes to see somthing so close to completion with so much work into it be sold to the highest bidder. I wish I could buy it from you and sell it back when you could afford to finish... Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

240Z_Master Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Hey Keith, what do you honestly want for the setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhadman Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Hey Keith, what do you honestly want for the setup? Your car! hahahahaha... j/k. Dude if I tell you that then my auction will go sour (see how many bids I have?). My reserve is set at $10k. Anything above and beyond that is cool.

EZ-E Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Its a shame to see that car go, especially as long as you worked on it and what you put into it. Unfortuately as someone else said, projects like this one Ebay, though well worth the 10k hardly ever see it. Thing is they dont source out how much most of it would cost to begin with.

hoov100 Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 if its still available at the end of june, ill plop out $10k for it, if you promise to help me finish it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhadman Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 You guys are right. The car will likely not sell on ebay. That's okay, though... I'm not hurting for the money... just the time. I have recieved dozens of emails about the parts, however, and can probably part it out. I guess the topic of my car came up on zcar.com ( ) and I was getting slammed by some of thier members (guys who I don't even know... go figure) because my wheel studs are too long. ~17k in parts and I'm being knocked for my wheel studs? Lol... that's why I like Hybrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280z1975 Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Saw your car on Ebay and if someone picked it up they would be a lucky man (or woman). I've seen projects like this come along and now that I look back at all the money I have put into my car (and I haven't even come close to upgrading it like you) that I would have bought your car in a second, but this is all hindsight ... still I wish you luck in getting a good price.
