JSM Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I'm looking at this car locally that is suppossed to be in good shape running and rust wise. It has a g-nose on it, dual webers, and reamaining looks stock other than the wheels and whale tail. Paint is suppossed to be 8 out of 10. If it checks out as stated and being the fact that i'm on the East Coast and most of the sales of Z's on ebay i've seen are in Cali, what do you think it may bring? Does the G-nose help or hurt the car? I think the whale tail may deter from top price. The guy was asking $2800 and is now down to $1800, that is what he has in it.

RB26powered74zcar Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 There is something strange about that Z.... it has a 240 rear bumper on it, but 260/280 tail lights. Is it a left hand drive? I like it. If it were local to me, I'd pay the money for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks280zt Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I would jump on that. Weird thing I think the original owner is lookng for that car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSM Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 I just want to flip it. Who is the original owner? I'm thinking it is an early 260z thin bumper 74. The bumpers look very similar to the 240, but are different I know, it is hard to tell from the pics. I also think they removed the rubber parts around the bumper. Would you chance the $1800 to make more money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 If it's not rusty, 1800 is a deal! I'd buy is tomorrow for 2800 if it was not rusty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffer949 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 hrrmrmmm i might have to beat ya to this one jeff... I need another car. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilC Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Jeff, might be able to sell it for 3k depends on the rust. You can watch the one that is on ebay right now. If that goes for 1000 or more I think you can flip this on with no prob. Might be able to clean it up and get 5k for it....we just need more pics. How is your car coming along? Plan on making the trip to the 08 Convention? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BayAreaZT Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 If you invest in a cheap set of wheels like konig rewinds or rota's and maybe fender mirrors, you may be able to get close to 4k for it. Maybe 5k if you include the magic word "JDM" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_furious Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 That's a 240 bumper, the early 260 Z overrider 'warts' were 100% rubber. Got one propped up against the wall in my kitchen right now. Can't see from the photo, but it looks as if the bumper shocks were removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BayAreaZT Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Not bad so far. Got here friday night just in time for the storm . I'm gonna have to fix my windshield wipers on my Z when it gets here. Never used them in Cali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSM Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 Looked at the car months ago... I wouldn't touch it for $1500 Thanks Mike! What was the condition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilC Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Must be bad if $1500 gets you a POS. Must be rusty. Jeff I was talking about the Z you showed on the Ebay link. Clive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSM Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 Looked at it today. Needs doors, fenders, and hatch. Some bondo here and there. Floors appeared to be okay. If anyone wants the number let me know. He's stuck at $1800. To me it is a $700-$1000 range car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
