Posted March 7, 200421 yr comment_71586 Hardly looks worth trying to restore..... :disappoin http://cgi.aol.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2465110065&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/10599-damn-shame/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 7, 200421 yr comment_71597 That truly is a heart-breaker. I wonder what the vin # is. I have to agree with you 2ManyZs. Probably not worth the money it would cost to restore it. We all know that to make a restoration job more pleasurable, you should really start out with a half way decent car. Looking at a Z that's just wasting away like that really hurts Vicky Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/10599-damn-shame/#findComment-71597 Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 7, 200421 yr comment_71598 The Japanse inspection sticker is still in the middle of the windshield. Most likely it was not driven long on US roads.Have to agree it is a shame to see it waste away.

March 7, 200421 yr comment_71611 I am sure this is not the end of the road for this car. It just needs extreme tlc. If I had the time, money, and know how I would snatch this car, but I don't. I would hate to see this car go to the junkyard . 2manyzs, you should take it. I know you are interested in the Fairlady Z's and you definately have the know how to give this car the glory it deserves. Your kyosho collection told me so. :stupid: -Ben Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/10599-damn-shame/#findComment-71611 Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 7, 200421 yr Author comment_71614 Yeah, I'd like to have one, but this one might be a little more of a project than I need right now. No job=no money:disappoin Plus I have 2 projects in the garage now....2 things scare me about this one, no title(?), and, if the rust under the battery tray is any indication of the underside..:cross-eye Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/10599-damn-shame/#findComment-71614 Share on other sites More sharing options...

March 7, 200421 yr comment_71625 I wonder what the reserve is?Did everyone notice the rally clock?A lot of work and money to get that car back on the road, which is a shame because there wouldn't be too many RHD Fairlady Z's in the US would there?

March 7, 200421 yr Author comment_71629 I noticed the clock, but I also notice it has the vented C-pillars and no hatch vents. I too would like to see the VIN number.... There wouldn't be many in the US that's for sure. I personally know of only 2 in my general area over the years, and one of them wasn't in much better shape than this one(it was also auctioned off on Ebay about 2 years ago).

March 7, 200421 yr comment_71632 werent those fairlday's only available in a 2.0 4cyl? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/10599-damn-shame/#findComment-71632 Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 7, 200421 yr comment_71638 It was a 2ltr straight 6, L-series. However, there was a L24 offered as well, the car was known as the Fairlady 240z. There was never a Z with a 4 cylinder, they were always straight 6's.

March 8, 200421 yr comment_71709 Are those vented pillar emblems or the solid ones I think have been discussed in past forums. I don't think the JDM Z got the "flying wing" 240Z emblem like the early cars sold in the U.S (like in my avatar). Of course I know very little about the Fairlady Z, other then what I've read here. Would be fun, if not expensive and time consuming, to restore. I didn't notice the rally clock, but my laptop monitor isn't very big, also can't tell much about the pillar emblems from the pictures on my computer. Gary D.

March 8, 200421 yr comment_71711 This is probably a stupid question, but being from Aus I don't understand what the Title is on a car over there in the US.Why is it a problem if there is no title?Al.
