Any opinions on this car?

Nev and Cal do not use salt. They use cinder.

hhmm OK then maybe I'm wrong but thats what it sure looks like to me when I see the photo. looks like the underside of a vehicle that has seen salt. :paranoid: who knows

What do people use in their driveways to deal with ice and compacted snow? The 73 I bought there definately had signs of salt.

"It is original. NO RUST as you can see from the pictures." LOLLOL

I'm to critical I guess so I'll shut up now

That pic from the back underneath looks like it's been in a fire ! What's with all the black sooty stuff on most everything ? It can't look that bad just from a rich carb mixture .

That would explain that.

Hey Im just trying to give this poor guy the benefit of the doubt. Reno DOES NOT get alot of snow, I should know.

Ever hear of a garage? If it is snowing or the roads are covered in snow, your not going to drive a Z in it anyway. Many people have a 4x4 and a garage...my Z NEVER leaves my garage in any type of bad weather, EVER.

Was the 73 you bought here always garaged?

I have 3 cars and a quad cab 4x4, also a motorcycle, a garage and I shovel the driveway if I have to..I dont put salt on it. My whole point is that the speculation has been mostly against this car, fire, damage, salt, rust...I see no signs of any of these things. I see a nice lookin Z that someone took the time to take a crapload of pictures of. If there was a ton of things to hide this guy would not have taken so many pictures imo. But thats just my opinion...I should go look at this car just out of curiosity ....

You mean to tell me you don't see rust under this car in this photo???? :laugh: Yeah, I've seen a lot worse but it's not "Rust Free" from what I see.

I guess I'm just fussy. I store mine during the winter months and you could eat off the bottom of mine.

OK I went and looked at it really close. I honestly do not see any rust..I guess our perceptions of rust is different. I see maybe road grime/undercoating/40yrs of dirt but not rust. For sure no fire. No salt for sure.

As far as everything else, it looks good to me. The front bumper does have a few small dings but nothing too noticable but that was in the description.

It has been repainted in the past but also in the description.

Reserve too high? I thought the point of a reserve was to protect the seller from having slow bidding and having to end up selling his/her car for 1000 dollars...but hey who knows. Maybe this one is simply only worth 2000 maybe less! 2 or 3 hundred?

I will have to go look even closer later but it is cold as hell in my garage right now.

When I was alot younger I got into steroids. I was a long time member on a site "ANABOLEX". I remember when some of those angry dudes would tear in to each other and wanna kill each other over the dumbest little things. They would critique the smallest most ridiculous part of a persons training or diet.

" You eat 15% unsaturated fat when not lifting in the mornings exclusively What a ****in idiot!" I remember thinking that it would be better to just read and observe, learn, NOT post.

I realize obsession is obsession, roids, cars whatever. This car was not intended to go for 10k. It was not intended to be sold as a show car, museum piece, or ever represented as such. The description listed is accurate in my eyes. This is the ONLY time this vehicle has ever been put on ebay, the 24 pictures were put on at the time of posting and it wasnt realized until later you would not be allowed to post more. The pics were taken at noon when the sun was high making it difficult to get a good pic, but then again much time brainstorming this entire process was not applied. I would venture to say that given anyones Z on this board, show car or not, that another one of us could and would find flaws. I should have just read and observed and learned but I must say it is difficult to not respond to the speculation. I reviewed a few of the owners rides here and must say, wow i saw huge flaws, huge. Good luck with your endeavors, your obsessions (not all obsessions are bad) and yourselves, I hope this car goes on to someone who can enjoy it and maybe even obsess on it. I myself am going to return to my old rule of reading, watching, learning. Flame on. Speculate. Indulge the temptation. :tapemouth
