Posted January 3, 200817 yr comment_232862 Poor No. 299. It would be a real challenge bringing this one back to life. I hate to see the earliest N. American cars in this state. Probably end up as a parts car for someone. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1969-Datsun-Nissan-240z-HLS30-00299_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ34229QQihZ019QQitemZ290195360803QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/26646-poor-299-not-for-the-feint-of-heart/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

January 3, 200817 yr comment_232866 It actually doesn't look as bad as I was expecting from your description. Lots of people here have replaced floor pans and frame rails so if you're going to do that anyway I suppose it doesn't matter how far gone they are. The body doesn't look that bad, the bumpers look good and even the battery tray appears to be present. Obviously I'd want to see more pictures but it certainly looks better than Chris's #27.

January 3, 200817 yr comment_232874 Looked better than #248! Then: Now: And #299 is a relatively complete car! But being on the backside of a complete restoration, I know that someone would easily be at +30K to do the restoration well.

January 3, 200817 yr comment_232875 I've seen *far* worse. The rust monster hasn't eaten her up yet, but that having been said, it's a major undertaking.

January 3, 200817 yr comment_232890 That title can of worms is the worst of it. He didn't say "no title", he said "No clear title" meaning there is a title with leans, meaning the car was probably stolen at some point-who would take out a loan to buy a car in that shape-or why would someone buy a car in better shape and not pay it off. Huge RED FLAG...If you are looking at this car, get the title info as it is and figure out if it can be sorted out before buying her-worst case Ebay pulls the Auction because the seller isn't actually the owner.Will Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/26646-poor-299-not-for-the-feint-of-heart/#findComment-232890 Share on other sites More sharing options...
