Hey guys, I'm new here. My name is Matt, I live in NC and I'm 17. My first car was a Z and unfortunately I was an idiot and sold it. Anyways, Im lookin to get another and ran across these 2 on eBay. Just wondering what you guys think about them. Thanks

280z with Z Tech block

76 280z

seems a bit pricy for a 280z and alot of the info that was posted on previous listings of this car made alot of the people on this site question the knowledge of the owner and what he was truly selling, I would only buy it based on what a nice 280z would go for and nothing more , but just my 2 pennies:geek:

You see the cost of parts for this thing. Heres an example

Accessory Products - Clifton, NJ - $402.35

$402.35 - Standard Shift, Headlight Covers, Halogen Lamps

Headlight covers 50.00 MSA

Halogen Lamps 18.90 a pair any parts store

Standard Shift ???????? what the hell does that mean

Stay away from that car, the owner wants to much and its basically not worth it.

The other car is from Maine, ie east coast lots of snow. Unless you get pics of the floor pans and frame rails and all the rust areas dont bother.

Yea I thougt the 280 with the Z Tech block was quite expensive and I have asked for photos of the frame on the 2nd and the seller never responded. Thanks guys for your input.

The one in Texas was listed as a "Bob Sharp race car" until I e-mailed the seller and told him he ought to put the truth in the listing instead of what he was claiming. The seller is one of the "middle men", listing it for another individual, so it's not his fault, he could only list what the owner told him, but it's "more" correct now. The owner is still hoping for 6500, which is too much for that car. Probably only worth 2500-4K at most. If he takes those stupid traction bars off that makes it look like a "half-arsed" attempt to "make a silk purse out of a sow's ear".

It's kinda funny, the seller of that car just e-mailed me thanking me for setting the record straight on the car just before you posted this... I sent him to Carl Beck to verify what I was telling him.....:devious:

The second car is probably the better deal, if the chassis is as rust free as he claims. I'd want to see more detailed pics of the underside and under the hood than what he has posted before making any decision on what it could go for. If it is truly in the condition he describes, being on the east coast in that condition, it could end up being bid to a pretty substantial price as rust free (or nearly rust free) cars on the east coast are getting scarce.
