Saw the 72 240Z up for auction it is a California car, vin in the 72000's there is no reserve ,interior is nice , paint is excellent, could not see mileage or engine no one there to show the car but I know it was shipped in from calif because I saw the transport evelope inside the car !!! Would love to hear it run!!!! Maybe I will go back tommorrow !!!! Told my wife about the car and it she was not happy!! Just sold my 72 904 white and now we can actually walk in the garage!!!!! I will keep you posted as I hear more about the car !!!! Looks like persimmon red or however you spell it !!!!!!!

LUCKY!! All those sweet rides to gawk at...I can just imagine the look on your wife's face too!

My purpose was to see the Z,but I got there at 11:00am and did not get home until 4:00pm I just finished eating dinner and I am going to go back !!!! Good thing I live 20 minutes away !!! Every car is being sold !!!boy people have money to burn, but the cars a fetching prices lower than I expected !!!! I am definitely interest in the Z wife or no wife !!!!!

Hey John, that sure would look sweet next to your orange baby

Where's the auction being held?

http://www.barrett-jackson.com/events/florida/default.asp

South Florida Expo Center in Palm Beach, FL. Wish I could get up to watch John bid on that Z, I met him once and if I read him right he's gonna be itchin to get it Looks like that Z is scheduled to cross the block tomorrow morning :/

Where if FL are you?

Leave it to the old guy to find the link.

Alex are you going to attend the auction? i always wanted to go to one.

Here is the pic of the Orange 240Z

I went back last night and the Z is still locked up!!!! Cannot see mileage or even look under the hood !!!! My wife would divorce me if I come home with that Z plus there is a $200 dollar fee for the right to bid on cars !!! My pockets are not as deep as these speculators !!!!! Lot of uppity people there !!! But you will never see an assortment of cars in one location ever it was worth the $15 admission !!! The location of the aution is in West Palm Beach, Florida at the South Florida Fairgrounds about 20 minutes from my house !!!!!!!!!!

Here's a link to the listing in the site:

They say the color is orange, but it looks more red.

Bob

from the auction listing: ............."rare factory A/C car"

Oh brother!

Let me tell you there was not many Japanese cars there and the Z did not get much attention !!!! Car is definetly red !!!! They say it is a restoration but we are away of the degress's of restoration just ask 26th Z It has dual mirrors and the Z shift knob, but was still locked up at the end of the auction at 8.00pm ,maybe some one will show the car today !!!! They auctioned about 150 vechicles yesturday and the Z is lot number 309 so I would say it will go late tonight !!!!! Put like this the Z "Got no respect" for the people who remember Rodney Dangerfield !!! I was the only one who oggled over it !!! With all those exotic and muscle cars there the Z would be for me. I quess I am a true Z fanactic like many of us on this site !!!! I will keep you posted !!!!!!!!!!!!!
