The last car is definately the best. Would be a great buy.

Perhaps, but they are very 'period' and will look just right on a mostly stock Series I.

At least, they would to me, but everyone is different.

The first car has too much iceberg showing-even as a non running "6" with no title and brand new 8 year old tires!

Not enough to get me to swap $650(incl.travel exp.) and the better part of a couple of days.

Too much project for too much money-without considering the time and effort in going to get it.

I bought a complete 280Z 2+2 with flawless mags(but flat tires), a great front clip and a freshly rebuilt 5 speed, and a 60k engine for a great deal less than that recently, and only had $1.78 in expenses and 2 hours in the tow.

Arne,

I think Libra-type wheels look great on a first gen Z, just wish they came in 15x7. Not fugly at all.
