73 on Ebay. Toughts?

[280z1975]

For someone who wants a first generation Z this is *might* have been a good deal (it needs an in person look like hls30.com said). I mean 7,400 for something that appears much better than most on ebay and would be a pleasure to drive isn't that bad of a deal. Photos can be misleading, but this does look quite nice.

This car is far from a canidate for a full up restoration, I mean, it's a 73'. The only Z cars, IMHO, that qualify for a full-up restoration (in terms of retaining value and more that are put into it) are low vin Z's from the first year. Don't get me wrong, if someone wants to restore ANY car to orginal state I won't stop them, but some cars to be kept in thier orginal 100% state would be monetariay unsound.

When I got my 75' I started out trying to keep it orignional, but then after looking at both the cost and the time I said forget it. I am keeping it orginal looking (no whale tales or custom fiberglass sub boxes with 4, 12" subs, as seen in other threads) but still a nice car that is and will always be a Z car.

I love the color. It looks to be fairly clean but I would be concerned that there are no pictures of the undercarriage. I would not spend this much on a car without first looking at it or getting a complete set of pictures of all the known trouble spots.

I bought my car via eBay, or tried to anyway. In the end I went and looked at it in person after losing the auction as the high bidder. The auction had a fairly complete set of pics as can be evidenced here, PICS, as well as a few others including the frame rails and batt box.
