The white/blue 70 is mine. This was the 2nd time running it on Ebay with the first time meeting reserve at $18K. The highest bidder was a pretty known Z parts seller on ebay who said he was trying to do me a favor by bidding on it but had no intentions of buying it. Stupidest thing I've ever heard. He ruined the auction because the 2nd highest bidder at $17.9K had already moved on to another Z listed on Ebay and my 2nd chance offer to him was not accepted.

 The 2nd time around with the reserve lowered a bit, it didn't meet reserve and peaked near $14k as mentioned above.

    That's a drag, what a twit.  Wait a couple of weeks and put it out again, the markets on fire. Looks like great car.

    It makes no sense to me that the white car didn't sell.  I would take that car over that BAT blue one any day. Original cars are becoming more rare every day. I was told that red sells.  Could it be the color?  That blue is nice.  My first 240 was white.  I really liked it.  I have a red one now.  When I got it appraised by a professional appraiser, it said it was the money color.  I didn't know that. I just want one of each.

    It is interesting: White cars cost more new and are more valuable used in Japan just on the colour.

    I think oemz's car is worth at least $30k for its age, rare colour combination and the condition.

    I sorry a fool wrecked your auction.

    That's why they call it "Resale Red"

    In comparison, this car is too expensive and the reserve wasn't met at $6,300.  I cant imagine the money required to bring that car back. Non numbers matching, the rear deck was cut out, The interior was completely destroyed.  Apparently the car had an uncracked dash but it was spray painted.  I would rather have the cracked dash.  If I were offered $6,300 for it, I would take it in a minute.

    Parts car at best?
