Anyone seen the little write-up in "AutoWeek" in the market section on page 23, Dec. 13th edition? It's about a '72 240Z that was sold for auction in Portland, OR. The car sold for $1,098.

The picture and article makes the car sound not too bad... original and nice interior, grimy but very original under the hood. It also says that there are rock chips and rust bubbles in fender wells, and some rust underneath. The writer says "Overall, at one time a pretty decent survivor that's been allowed to deteriorate"

Then it goes in to tell some nice things about 240Z's in general.

What I found strange is that the guy goes on to call this car a "pig" that would cost $25,000 to make right!

Kind of weird, I thought. What do you think?

I think I have a better "pig" that will cost much more to restore. Actually, Princess 27 is very beautiful and descends from royalty, but the guy who writes that article doesn't recognize sentimental value.

No the guy that wrote it didnt have any common since
