Wow not only is it a REALLY clean looking 72 he even throws in a spare tranny, a set of fenders AND headlight buckets (and I know those buckets/fenders aren't exactly cheap) AND a spare hood.

It's also been for sale before. Definitely on craigslist, maybe eBay. Seems to me that his ad has improved, it sounded pretty arrogant last time I saw it offered. Might also have come down a touch on price. I've not seen it in person, don't know how nice it really is.

Yes, I remember this car on eBay previously.

Looking at the 1st photo and in #17, it seems the passenger side door and front fender are slightly different shades?

If it's close to as described/as pictured - it is a bargain at the Buy-It-Now... rare color too.

2 used Fenders painted to match $250.00 each = $500.00

2 Headlight Nacelles painted to match = $125 each = $250.00

1 hood $225.00

2 Spare original color matched seats, $150.00

Brand new factory floor mats

New Nissan factory pedal pads.

Rebuilt 5spd. $450.00 to rebuild + $250.00 good used tranny = $700.00

$1825.00 to $2K in spares... $16,500.00 - $2K = $14,500.00 for the car... remember the green Z that the dealer had here in Clearwater that sold for $13,500.00?... it wasn't even close... On the other hand - the 2 Green A/T's that just sold are looking better and better...

Just shows you the range - but a 72 in that condition is well worth $16,500.00 today - I also agree that if you started with the typical $6K example - you couldn't get close to this for less than another $12K plus two years of work.

FWIW,

BTW - that color really needs a bright set of mag's to set it off...

i've seen that Z a couple of times on eBay. nice car. i think he might be stuck with it for a while. funky color combo....all due respect for the brown on tan bunch..

betcha it would sell if it were red/black, yellow/black, orange/black, green/black, etc..
