aziza z Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 First of all, the interior looks like ♥♥♥♥. that box is hideous. Like everyone said, those rims are cheap too. this just proves that even with some nice parts, if the quality of the work is no good, and the car has no vision, its gona come out looking like ♥♥♥♥. but good luck to him anyway. Maybe he will find a sucker to buy it. Makes me wonder what mine is worth thou... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aziza z Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 oh yea and about the paint matching thing. Its hard to match this color.

Careless Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I think the car looks nice. The engine bay looks especially well detailed. However, I wouldn't offer more than 15k for the car if I was seriously in love with it, which I am definately not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatbackz Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 except that car has a 700hp supercharged, nitrous injected v-8and has PROOF of the show's that it's won haha even with the weird square headlights and taillights, i kinda like it. I usually don't like the 2+2's, but I think that whale tail is what makes me like it. i agree. i dont know why, but i love the mid '70s to early '80s custom styling. my favorite example is the 69 stingray in corvette summer. that car was badazzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zcarguy07 Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 that guy must crap gold nuggets...this guy must not realize that you dont get all your money back out of your restoration...plus he said it should be part of a collection...sounds like a sales pitch to me...a true collector would go for an unmolested s30...have fun getting rid of that for 45k....

Lunar240z Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 to be honest, when i saw that car at MSA i wasnt very impressed at all.sure it was nicely detailed, but imo, the rims dont belong on a z, and there isnt really any custom cool fabrication...

zfever Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 "This 240z belongs in a collection or museum, or a very discriminating enthusiast" ... wow thats called pride. I wonder what museum he'd want to see it in .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimZee Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 That's too expensive for that car; and that guy is way too full of himself. There is a difference between pride and cockyness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BobDigi5060 Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 This might be a crazy question but.. Would a swapped Z ever sell for $45k? Along the lines of a built SB or LS with F/I amongst other goodies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rztmartini Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 i think its kinda funny, some people's mentality about how to build cars. he spent how much for the paint job, but couldn't fork over the extra $300 for some GC coilovers, instead he just cut his junk aftermarket springs...lmao I think the only 240Z that migh sell for that much would be the Nissan race car from back in the day. maybe the Safari 240Z too...not sure on the specifics of that tho...

ArnZ Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 I wonder if he will lower the price after the auction ends? He has had 3 offers that he has declined. If he really wants or needs to sell the car, he is not even going to get close. He could be just showing the world "The most amazing 240Z". Here are the questions to the seller... good for a few laughs Q: Kenneth W. Dantley, Jr. would be proud. Oct-08-07A: thanks Q: Awesome car man. I had a question for you about the engine. I was going with the l28 turbo engine but i've ran into issues so what all would i need to go carburated with the turbo engine like the setup you have?? thanks Oct-06-07A: I am not positive of the crossover you would need. I went with Triple carbs because the car came originally with dual carbs and I was trying to stay within the same concept. Having said that I am very pleased with the performance but you really need to find an expert at triple carbs. The car who built most of the car did not do a good job on this one aspect, but once I found the right guy the car ran amazing. I also like the acceleration and lack of lag with carbs vs injection, plus triple carbs look cool. Q: Hello My name is Sjur and i`m restoring a 240z in Norway. I was wondering what the name of the colour is. Do you have a paint code or a name?? This was a very nice car and i liked your colour. From Sjur Oct-05-07A: the brand is PPG and their Candy series. The color is one of kind custom blended. I get a lot of great feedback because it looks different than some of the stock candy color cars. I would recommend you don't go custom because it makes it that harder to match. No matter what you do Candy colors are extremely difficult to paint and match (I use to paint cars for a living), so find an expert with lots of experience. Some newer cars use a multi-stage urethanes that tries to imitate Candy but the depth and gloss from Candy is superior, especially in sunlight. Q: It looks like the front airdam isn't correctly lined up with the fenders, is this just a mounting issue? What kind of headlights are those? Thanks. Oct-04-07A: airdam lines up great very pleased. The headlights are the MSA aftermarket for brightness, the center light has that diamond pattern. Q: Great work but the wheels have to go and get nice deep dish 0 offset. love the paint and level of attention. This car is semi riced out sorry. What you did to this z is like anyone else doing what they want with a v8. Just you added other items of distraction. Oct-04-07A: yeah, I know certinly not OEM...but I like it and the buzz I get from others makes me happyQ: Beautiful car!!! Is that the urethane or fiberglass spoiler on the front? Oct-04-07A: Urethane, it has held up very well. I scraped the paint on it going up a driveway so it had to be re-painted (bummer) but it might have cracked if it was fiberglass Q: It looks like the right fender and gas door are different colors? Is this a stock ZX engine with Webers? Thanks Oct-03-07A: Their is a shadow difference in color between the fender and gas door that you can see in certain light. Candy Color very difficult to match perfectly and I had them re-done due to some paint imperfections. The ZX is just the block everything inside was re-done with updated parts. I have detailed list of every receipt for serious buyers. I hope this answers your questions, all the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrycoxusa Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 This is his second time on ebay, no offers the first time. There's lots of clean z cars going for 2500-6000. Look at 65 to 68 mustangs, 2500 will get you a clapped out six cylinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
