Just noticed this Z here in Richmond on EBay

[JLPurcell]

I just found this on ebay and was surprised to see it listed from here in Richmond. If any one is interested I would be happy to take a look at it for them. I do not know the car or the seller. I will probably go to look at it tomorrow out of curiosity.

I got it in my watch list. looks like a mighty fine specimen. curious what it'll sell for. i'm guessing between 15k to 20k

I've seen that car on craigslist for a couple of months now I think his asking price was 23,000.

Since it has been repainted - it won't bring anything close to $23K at this point. At $15K it would be a bargain and $18K it would be a reasonable buy. You would of course have to get under it and check the usual places..

Looks like a very nice 240Z..

FWIW,

Carl, you are right on the money as usual. I just took a look at the car and it is a nice driver. I has damage to the gas tank where it was either hit in the rear or ran up on something. The right rear hatch deck has had some repair the left side has not (damage or rust?). Under the battery tray has had some paint but I do not believe it has been patched. This being a late 71 production has the vertical defrost but does not have the vents in the rear hatch. I tool some photos of the normal problem areas and have attached them. After talking with the owner I believe that this car can be purchased in the mid teens. Let me know if anyone wants more information. JLP

Beautiful car. Thanks for the additional photos, JL.

Is that a fuel leak (image 1224)? I am wondering if when the fuel tank got hit, there is now a crack?

[JLPurcell]

The antenna is not original, the original wheels and hub caps are in the boxes shown in the photos. The paint job shows well but is a 5 out of 10 in my estimation. The seat covers have been replaced with reproductions, the smog pump goes with the car but is locked up and has been removed and a make shift pulley put in its place. Let me know if I can help in any way even to the point of negotiation. JLP

Rubber seals are deteriorated and the bumper rubber trim is hard and showing deterioration.

The car has the Series 2 style tool boxes on the deck behind the seats and it looks as if the spare is the original. I hope this helps. jlp
