Saw a beautiful '73 today...

And the guy wants to sell it. Got his e-mail address and told him to post it here, but who knows.... Anyways, if someone is looking for a pretty clean, fairly original Z, this is a good one. I went over it pretty well for about a half hour, and it is one of the better examples I have seen for sale in some time. Orange and has been re-painted, but match very very close. A few chips and dings here and there. Found several split-pea-sized rust bubbles in the passenger dogleg about 1 1/2 inch behind the seam, otherwise could not find anything. The other three corners of the rocker seem fine. Rear hatch inner deck perfect. Nothing in front fenders. Pulled the (new) carpet kit and found nothing glaring through the sound-proofing. Frame rails look good. 183,000 miles and well preserved. Original hubcaps (in good condition) and newish Dunlops in the correct size. Overrider on rear, but not on front. Front bumper has the two holes in the front and a couple dings, but the chrome is bright all around. No rust in the chrome. Seats have been recovered in black leather but it looks like original. Don't remember any cracks in the dash, but didn't look at it too hard. Original engine (didn't check numbers) and round tops. AUTOMATIC (oops, meant to put that at the beginning!) Supposedly runs and drives great. I found almost NO disappointments looking at this car. I would proudly enter it AS-IS in any Z car show I have been to, and at several I have been to, wouldn't be surprised if it took OEM class. He wasn't sure how much to sell it for and was "researching". It is at least a $5000 car. It is in Pismo Beach, CA.

No, I don't have any pictures. All I have is an e-mail address:
