Car is in rough shape, but is still restorable. Here's the link:

What a mess!

It's already $5,300 reserve not met

Every panel on that car will need work. Cowl is rotten, frame rails, floors, evidently has a sunroof, so roof panel, quarters, everything. At this point you're buying data plates and a minimal amount of metal. I hope it gets saved but I can't see paying that kind of money for this car. Although if it ends up at 100k in 5-10 years I guess that changes the calculus. Still, you better have a good welder and 50#'s of MIG wire

Agreed. It is going to take a lot of time and money to restore this car properly. The prices keep going up on these 1969 240Z production cars no matter what condition they're in.

Send it to the dippers and see what's left when it comes out of the tank, I wouldn't want to be the guy that has to repair that body.

Agreed. Looks like the auction ended 2 days ago and did not meet the reserve with a high bid of $5,600.00. With the condition this car is in, the seller should have lowered the reserve, taken the $5,600.00 and ran!
