Well at least the rims look nice...

Oh man, scary... doesn't look as bad as some of the other ones I've seen out there.

I'd still drive it though... at least if it sounded as badass as it sounds... seriously, it has a skull on it!!

Maybe the owners were trying to go for the rat rod looks.

The skull and cross bones is also the Universal symbol for Poision, or a band of Pirates. Aye Aye matey, Arrrggg.

Interesting to see rust holes on the top of the pass side quarter panel. Can only imagine what brown will do for you underneath.

But all-in-all someone should buy it since the guy says its the first year of the 280Z.

As zbane mentioned, the wheels are nice.

:dead:

The Skull badge may be holding it together - that car has been played out.

Ashes to ashes,

dust to dust,

if you been taken care of,

you'ld still be with us.

At best, it's a parts car and at $600 not a very desirable one. Lots of misinformation in the ad. 5-speed, If it's a has 5 speed, someone put it in there, Motor and clutch are good , Runs and drives good , I find those statements suspect as the pictures show improper and missing hook ups both under the hood and dash and a fuel pressure guage which would be used for troubleshooting but generally not left under the hood on a street car, Needs body repair inside and out , duh!, Rust on hood and tailpipe , and many, many other places, 1st year of 280Z , not!, Nice Deep-Dish Rims, deep-dish yes but nice? Maybe after a cleanup. But it does have nice covers on some of the hose clamps, a nice oil cap, and nice valve stem caps. I agree with Bob. The car needs prayer.

It might be worth it for just the rims... But i doubt it

It's obvious that at some time earlier in its life, someone cared about this car - and put some money into it. The wheels, rear fender flares, and exhaust; and underhood the strut bar, polished cam cover, oil cap, air filter assy, and the mentioned fuel pressure gage.

You just have to wonder the path that lead from what it once was ... to what it is now....

actually, it sounds like someone got a car in pretty roughed up condition, threw on some "go fast" and "pretty" parts and called it a day.

what's funny is from the first pic i thought "well, that car doesn't look THAT messed up, looks a little like my car.."

then i saw the rest of the pics and thought "......oh......"

The skull and cross bones is also the Universal symbol for Poision, or a band of Pirates. Aye Aye matey, Arrrggg.

Oh, so maybe it's Brett Michaels' old car..?

I don't know if they're pirates though...
