December 17, 200519 yr comment_149320 How about the extra bar on the front bumper? I don't know that I've ever seen that before. OEM? Add on? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/18320-check-out-this-one-on-ebay/#findComment-149320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
December 17, 200519 yr comment_149330 How about the extra bar on the front bumper? I don't know that I've ever seen that before. OEM? Add on?I've seen those in the accessory catalog. So that would make it a dealer installed option rather than OEM.

December 17, 200519 yr comment_149334 How about the extra bar on the front bumper? I don't know that I've ever seen that before. OEM? Add on?I have one in my garage. MSA doesn't even list them, but I think they were OEM, like the one for the rear bumper, which is on my car.I'd put the front one on but the plating is pretty torn up, and the PO labeled it with masking tape which, over time peeled off some of the chrome.I like that one though...now I wish mine looked better.

December 17, 200519 yr comment_149343 It appears to mount on the same bolts as the rubber bumperettes. What condition is yours in texasz? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/18320-check-out-this-one-on-ebay/#findComment-149343 Share on other sites More sharing options...
December 17, 200519 yr comment_149351 That is one nice Z. It's hard to believe that anyone could hang on to a car like this that long and drive it so little. I plan on putting lots of miles on mine. These things were made to be driven. IMHO Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/18320-check-out-this-one-on-ebay/#findComment-149351 Share on other sites More sharing options...

These things were made to be driven. IMHOWhenever I see a car like this with ultra low mileage my first thought is -- there's a LEMON.Why else wouldn't it have been driven?

December 17, 200519 yr comment_149358 Whenever I see a car like this with ultra low mileage my first thought is -- there's a LEMON.Why else wouldn't it have been driven?There are people who don't care about driving, mere possession is satisfaction enough. That doesn't describe me, or many others on this board either.

December 17, 200519 yr comment_149365 I suppose you're right, but the Z wasn't exactly a high end automobile at the time. It'd be much the same as having a '90 Miata that you've spent the last 16 years staring at lovingly. Sure, you could. But IMO that Miata and the Z in the ad is not worthy of this kind of worship. They're both cheap fun mass produced Japanese sports cars, not some exclusive one of 100 built supercar.
