Damn shame....

[26th-Z]

What has me dumbfounded is the rear red marker light. None of my photographs of Fairlady Zs show this marker light and I thought the red marker light was for export. The vented quarters would make sense - except for a '69 car. The steering wheel is not stock. I wonder what this model really is!

Japanese market Fairlady Zs came with a 2 litre, six cylinder engine until October 1971 when they were replaced with the 2.4 litre.

A title is a government registration of the ownership. It records the owner and the serial number of the car. Without one, the car can not be registered to drive. Of course there IS a title somewhere, but it may require a significant amount of research to find it.

That car is in seriously bad shape. Wayyyyy beyond "tender loving care", it would require a complete chassis up restoration and compared to my project, I would guess in the $30,000 range to make it pristine again. The engine is seized? Zowie! That poor thing is a parts car. And I see a few things I would like!

too bad she's in indiana. I'd pick this thing up in a hearbeat. I could certainly shift some things around in the garage and get this on a rotisserie until I had some other projects out of the way. certianly no harm in it sitting inside while it waits for the proper care it needs.

I knew you'd say that Kevin.....

If I had room for it, I'd probably try bidding on it too, as long as it had a title.

glad to see you guys thinking of restoring her, it makes mine seem alot less monumentouse!(can't spell)

SOMEONE PLEASE SAVE HER!!!!!!!!

THEIR TOO GOOD TO WASTE!!!!!!

keith, re-reading that aspect of no title....man, thats a tough one. Theres nothing worse than restoring it, and then you can;t drive it because you can't title it

280Z,

The Pics you have linked to have any additional info other then what pops up?

I have interest, but like many, a car like this would wind up on the next back burner in line behind 2 other cars in need of "fixes".

Lots of little knobs, & switches of interest.

thats not my car, i emailed the seller on ebay for a little info and he sent me those pics. if your interested in parts, try emailing the seller ( his names chuck ) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6392&item=2465110065

this cars already up to 500 bucks though and i dont think he would sell parts for it.

I believe this is the pillar emblem that would be seen on an early home market car. I really do hope that this car gets a proper home and a proper resoration. It would be a shame if it became a parts car.

Take care,

Ben

if its a complete car it would be worth restoring if you can do metal work everything else can be cleaned up and fixed right hand drives are very rare here. can most body panels from our cars fix on the one?
