If that was restored 6 years ago then my name is Lucy and I live on the moon!

Look at all that rust!!!

[BRE-240Z]

Yeah. Whoa.

[e_racer1999]

you know, aside from the rust and the seat bottom, it doesn't look half bad. don't get me wrong, i think it would have a difficult time selling for half that price.

Hi

The car shows very poor quality for the asking price! I have seen many good 240z for better prices and overall condition.

Let him dream...

Even my car looks better than that one. If it was truley "restored" 6 years ago, then that car has probably endured 6 of the hardest years of its life since then.

Id like to see the floor under the carpet on that car.

[zbane]

I wouldn't.

It appears to be sound deadener (but what is under that?)

Also,

INTERIOR

The original interior panels were red, have been repainted in black by previous owner, a well done job.

The red interior is lovely! Why change it?

[dade280]

But you always find awsome surprises under the sound deadener (i found a big hole in passenger side floor nothing in driver side yaay). At that price they should of included more pictures

[BRE-240Z]

The car obviously wasn't really restored, or even really properly refreshed. The owner got it running, cleaned up the interior (he probably dyed the panels black since that was easier and cheaper than matching the red), fixed some suspension and brake issues, and considered that a 'restoration' of the car.

[240ZX]

I think in this case, "restored" referers to putting it back in storage (re-storing)!! Looks to be a $2200.00 seller to me! Lot-O-Rust for sure and likely everything else is worn out as well....just my gut feeling.

The car is in Kentucky, and if it was driven in the winter that could account for the rust. I suspect that a lot of "restorations" depend heavily upon Bondo for body repair, and at the first sign of winter road salt, that stuff surrenders immediately.

I wouldn't pay what he is asking. If someone does, they are going to be in for some nasty surprises.
