Saw this on CL last night and wanted to share with the Z car community. A very rare car but in need of a ton of work. There are no pictures of the interior but given the rust damage you can conclude it will need work as well. The seller is very upfront showing the amount of work that is needed to bring this car back to road worthiness. If someone on here buys it please let us know!

Is that Tony Curtis?

See, that 300zx is a beauty.

Jeff a VW is more apropos for Pflugerville .... but a Messerschmidt even more so.

That's exactly who it is, with his wife Janet Leigh.

Just thought I would let everyone know I heard from the seller and the 240z sold. I don't know where it is headed or who bought it but it's off the market for now.

300ZX is a beauty, my son has a white 88 300ZX Turbo "Shiro"

Thank you Fred. I was looking for a Shiro when I bought the red turbo '88. My 300zx just sold late last week and the buyer already has it in Miami FL. All of my efforts are focused on the Karmann Ghia but I still look for 240z's every day on CL.

556 for sale again... up from the $1,800 above.

Yup about $55k

Seems to have undergone quite a metamorphosis since 2014.  Even the sunroof appears to have self healed.

As described on Craigslist 2014 and EBAY 2021:

2014:  Body/Underside heavily rusted.  Would need Floor Pans, Left Rocker, Engine Frame Rails, etc, etc.

2021:  RUST FREE Classic Z car has been been well preserved and maintained.

It's harmony01, down there in Beverly Hills. 

@psdenno Probably garage kept, climate controlled its whole life, too.

This 240Z is proof that there is a "witness protection" program for old rusty cars that enables them to assume new identities in a new location and with a whole new back story.  As Fox Mulder used to say on the X-Files, "Trust no one".
