I don't think it is too bad althought I did not really like it when I first saw it last Friday on ebay. I think the fender mirrors are inappropriate on a U.S. spec car especially without the G-nose. Also the wheels look a little over sized for the car. It is not a $12K car, I suspect the reserve is $11 or 12K but the car is at best a $5-6K car. Looks like it will be staying in Oregon for a few more years.

He's been trying to sell it on Craigslist for several months, for about that same $12,500 price. I was hoping to see it in person at the Canby show, but it wasn't there. Not quite my cup of tea, either.

Other than the 4bbl (BTDT) and the 17"s (way too big, wrong offset, and not enough tire), that thing is HOT.

I'd rock it fa sho.

Get rid of the mirrers and put a air dam on it, and il take it!

I actually like fender mirrors on old Zs. A pair of those and some Wats and you'll get my attention. The fender flares only look great on lowered Zs with Wats or Konigs to me but hey, that's just me.

I guess i don't see what's so bad with the car. As far as personalizing a vehicle, this car is mild and not overboard by any means.I would have done things a little different but the car looks pretty good. I would rather see more tire and less wheel, and the zg flares aren't put on exactly right, but no mistaken that it's a Z.

I'm not gonna say that there isn't A LOT of things I wouldn't do different, but it's not as bad as MANY others. Fender mirrors would go better with different wheels, ie: really wide Wats.

Overall I would have to say that I like this car, I dont see whats wrong with it. There are some little things that I dont like about like the fender mirrors (without the G-nose they look out of place), the rear window louvers and the headlight covers I'm not a fan of either. But I liked this one as a first impression, even though its not worth $12K.

Change out the tires/wheels and you gotta nice looking Z!!!

Ok, although not what I would do to the car, I'm not grossed out either.

So, could you define "Weird" please?

That he's asking too much money is typical. He's invested a lot of money into putting what HE considers to be the ultimate performance package together and now he wants to get his $ out. Unfortunately, "Ultimate" is a question begging term and is highly subjective to the user.

FWIW

not my taste but at least the guy likes the car and has looked after it

better to see a zed with someone who cares about it
