I thought everyone might like this. It is perfect, except that it has an automatic gear box.

Awesome! Perfect! Almost... I would feel bad driving it though.

I wrote the seller but haven't heard anything back yet, Ben. This car is one of three I have documented automatic transmissions. Two of them are this color and one is 907 dark green. I believe this car as well as the dark green car were some of the first completed by Pierre and appeared at the May 3rd 1997 Vintage Z Rally. It is also quite possible that this car is pictured in the Z-Store brochure.

Chris that car looks just like Jims. Isn't his an automatic also? As far as the colors of these VZ cars, how many of each have you located. I've seen 2 reds, 1 dark green, 2 orange and 1 lime yellow. Anybody have any different numbers?

Seller pulled the auction early.

I heard the seller had problems with the title, but....

When I first met Jim, we thought his was the only automatic VZ, but I have three accounted for now. Carl Beck remarked to me this weekend that we may find more because the automatics may have been a type of car that was used less and garaged more making them easier to find in better condition. Pure speculation, but interesting to consider. I have ten cars photodocumented, Vicky. Two yellows. Yours is the only yellow in that flavor I know of.

Wow, so much for his attempt to reassure bidders with the "THE CONTRACT FOR PURCHASE SHOWS IT WAS SOLD BY UNIVERSAL CITY NISSAN IN 1997 FOR $35,500. THE CALIFORNIA TITLE SHOWS NISSAN MOTOR CORPORATION AS PREVIOUS OWNER. BUYER INSPECTION WELCOME!" statement.

Minus $1000 for the turned horn pad. I love that color, hehehehe.
