260z?

[KenshinX]

Well I was just skimming through the clasifieds section on sites to find a 260z and well this one seems different. I asked the seller to send me some more pics of the car and it seems like some kind of special edition, but no info on the car was brought up on google. Can someone please fill me on this car strange features.

It seems the interior is a bit different from what im use to its tan or butterscotch yes, but it has multi shades of brown stripes in the seat and an DATSUN emblem on the dash below the three gauges:surprised .

The exterior looks like a regular early 260z but the rear spoiler looks like the one on the special edition 280z and says what i thought to be GR but insteads its ER(the pictures a lil blurry:ermm: )

The car is from the west coast but is here in the east coast and has little to NO rust floor pans and all frame rails are clean as a bed of a s10 pickup and the battery try looks new

floor looks pretty beat up. when that happens the sound deadening tar stuff bends or cracks and can come away from the metal (which is bare metal with no paint or undercoat at all) and eventually starts to rust under the sound deadening, and you cant see it happening untill it rusts all the way through to the other side of the metal.

So whats supposed to be special about it?

The datsun badge on the dash could have been added by anyone, like the datsun gear knob. Seats could have been retrimed.

I've not seen or heard of any special edition 260z in my experience. The seats appear to be reupolstered in that pattern and the Dastun emblem on the dash is not original either. As far as a 'special edition 280Z' rear spoiler no such thing really existed though there were dealer addons and aftermarket stuff available at the time such as the ones used on the 77 Zzap and the 78 BPE but they weren't unique to those cars. If the car is as clean overall as you say and the price is right, I'd say go for it. You can always correct those 'strange features' you speak of. The important thing is having a the cleanest starting point you can find.

No i wasnt interested in buying the car the seller already has offer for 2500 cash in hand i was just a little curious as to all the differences in it its jus as you guys said owner add-ons and i kinda thought that was it after asking a local mechanic that knows a little about Zs
