Check out this ugly ducking on Craigslist located in Sarasota, Florida!

Posted this guy a few months back - wonder why it's still for sale... Ha!

Why do some of those pictures distort?

Maybe someone slipped some LSD in your sammich.

I think Phillip is having fun stretching those pictures? Could be a LSD Whopper he's munching on.

I've had LSD sugar cubes back in my past life. Laughed for 10 hours, slept for 20.

Oh my goodness! That's truly impressive. Curious if anyone would know why there's a lock cylinder in one of the front fender emblems?

[Terrapin Z]

Ha ha I thought that was amazing as well. The emblem holding the fender together. I thought the lock might be some sort of anti theft switch, but who knows.

In the '80's overhere you could buy anti theft equipment that used a keylock that you could put on the car somewhere and this is what you see here i think.

I’ve seen car alarms back in the day that had a key cylinder on the exterior, but never one creatively placed like the one on this 280Z.

What a bunch of rust buckets. Not much usable structure left on any of them.
