[DatsunZGuy]

Anyone here know about the history of this car?

If I had the time, money and skill, this would be the level of restoration I would strive for.

 

I can only imagine the asking price. 

 

Please someone buy it before I do something rash!!!

Looks interesting but the guy seems like a shyster.  He contradicts himself.  Looks like a car dealer to me.  Just because you're not licensed doesn't mean you're not.

THIS IS NOT AN AUTO DEALER AD

That website design is straight outta Angelfire circa 1997. But the car looks awesome.

 

A price might be a good thing to put on a sales page, just sayin'.

Hmm, this quote makes me a bit skeptical... 

 

NEVER SEEN RAIN NOR WASHED WITH WATER!

[cbuczesk]

A guy in our car club had a black 1967 Plymouth GTX that had "NEVER SEEN RAIN NOR WASHED WITH WATER!" Before I bought my Pantera I asked the seller if the seals leaked. He paused for a bit and said he didn't know. He never washed it or drove it in the rain. In this case I think it's because the restoration is fairly recent. The car looks good. Remind me of the one I'm building now. Very similar color.

Nice looking Z.  If someone finds out the price, please post it here, curious to see what he is asking.

Someone sprayed a bunch of that shiny auto dealer black crap all over the underside of the exhaust.  That car is going to stink for a week until that all burns off.  It looks like they sprayed that stuff over most of the underside of the car.  Notice a lot of the undercar nuts and bolts are rusted.  The rest of the is finished to a good standard, but as usual, the underside of the car is substandard.

Nice engine detail, but what's that remote Fram filter tied into? It already looks like there's one of everything.

That's some kind of high performance fuel filter, http://www.summitracing.com/parts/frm-hpg1

 

More filter area?

The seller has put the car up for auction.

Everything about the style of that eBay listing says "guard your wallet".  If the car is that good it would sell itself.  Dennis-the-Marketing-Guy's efforts actually reduce the value of the car.  I can't imagine being that guy.  Weird.

This part of the eBay listing is just total made-up BS.  Who do you report them to if they violate the code?  Themselves.  Beware.

On the positive side - it is a nice-looking car.  Isn't it odd though, that he doesn't post the VIN?  I found the dash VIN in one of the pictures.  I don't know where the other ones are for the early cars.  The pictures , by the way, show that whoever took them is a big-game hunter.  Lots of dead animal heads.
