another nissan resto program zed.love that datsun orange.

i noticed this one doesn't have the tow hooks.

I never realized that the restoration Z’s came with leather upholstery and a cassette player.

I didn't realize a restoration program car would seem to have the wrong parts, and a restored dash with the lighter hole still covered, and a poorly restored console.

Vicky, Scott, Chris, Z police, what do you think?

Hi Will,

I also questioned the dash when I saw the cigarette lighter hole covered. I don't believe that the interior is leather, looks like vinyl to me. All in all not a bad looking car for $ 15,000.00 minimum bid. Wonder what the reserve is?

Love to own another but are sorely out of room. Trying to find a place for the new Scarab Z that will soon be arriving at my door. Yes Will you heard it right!

Z ya!

Scott

Scarab, Zweet!

I emailed the seller and asked if he had any documentation that it's a FRP car. No response so far.

I checked on Carl Beck's web site zhome.com and it is listed as a Vintage Z.

Now their is a couple with everything.

I don't think the clock works.

still looks nice.

those seats are def. vinyl; they look the same as mine.

28527th is an estate sale car and was on eBay last March. I don't recall that it sold at that time. I'll have to look it up. It is a nice one - #918 New Sight Orange. Evidently, it was driven occasionally when it was purchased instead of garage collected. The story about the son buying the car for his retired father is true. I talked to the son last March. At the time, I think we were picking at it because the lighter was missing from the console. I wouldn't be surprised if this car has a couple of maintanence issues.

Look, you guys. Vintage Zs have all sorts of oddball parts and features. Take my word for the moment. A cassette deck is quite possible. An incorrect dash would be common. A real leather interior is unlikely. I think the only people who know that the interior isn't leather are us. I'm still working on the biggest, longest explanation of Vintage Zs you can ever imagine. Including; "Pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back explaining each one"! I think the Vintage Z story is fascinating and unique. If I were to buy a collector / investment grade Z, I would consider one of these. Great car to show and dabble with.

Thanks for the heads-up, Patrick. So, its out of the bag, Vicky? On its way? When does it arrive? Did you buy that brochure? Was that your car?

Just a thought about that dash. I had talked to Pierre of Pierre Z about availability of dashed for the "Restoration Project". He had told me that since the availability of NOS series 1 dashed had dried up, he was forced to use later dashes. The covered lighter hole is the way those dashes came in the box. I used one in my series 1 car for the same reason. I am sure that it is not a restored dash, but NOS.
