psdenno Posted November 25, 2015 Share #2 Posted November 25, 2015 Watching it now. It's a 2+2 with a bit over 2,000 miles that has been parked for years. Mice and mildew have added a little patina. He thinks the low miles will balance out the fact it's a 2+2.Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djwarner Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share #3 Posted November 25, 2015 Ok the 1972 in the episode description was a typo. The car is a 1976 2+2 280Z. More good press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbuczesk Posted November 25, 2015 Share #4 Posted November 25, 2015 I think when he was taking it back to the shop he said it was a 1978. Somebody needs to do some fact checking before the show goes on air. I wonder how many mistakes have been made on other episodes. But it was good to see a Z on the show. I wish he had found the 1969 Z that Garage Squad modified and they had "rescued" the 2+2. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikes Z car Posted November 25, 2015 Share #5 Posted November 25, 2015 I think I saw that Z on previous episodes in the background. Think I noticed it was a blue 2+2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomoHawk Posted November 26, 2015 Share #7 Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) That must be the same guy in a car show that tried to convince me he had a 1982 280Z. It was obviously a ZX, but the guy insisted otherwise. I should have pointed out all the "welding" that was done to his "cracked" intake manifold! I suppose those guys think a 1970s Impala SS has a V8, when it actually doesn't? Edited November 26, 2015 by TomoHawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim Posted November 28, 2015 Share #9 Posted November 28, 2015 It isn't a '78. I want to watch all of this episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgood Posted November 29, 2015 Share #10 Posted November 29, 2015 The bumper's are late 74 to 76. The owners manual in top of the car he is looking at says 1976. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djwarner Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share #11 Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) The on screen graphics said it was a '76. I think some confusion may come from the owner's statement that he bought it, drove it 'til the cold weather came and parked it. Then the license plate is shown with a '78 tag. For this to make sense, the owner must have renewed the tags a couple of times without driving it. Edited November 29, 2015 by djwarner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcb280z Posted November 30, 2015 Share #12 Posted November 30, 2015 He clearly said it was a 76 and was parked in 78 and never driven again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
