Patcon Posted April 3, 2019 Share #2 Posted April 3, 2019 Wow! Not even verified low mileage and not a low number car. Very clean but not perfect or overly unique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVZEE Posted April 3, 2019 Share #3 Posted April 3, 2019 That's a nice one, too. Rotisserie resto, insulated, fresh engine, white on red, etc. etc. Going to bring some big money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DatsunZGuy Posted April 3, 2019 Share #6 Posted April 3, 2019 Nice car. I just hope we are not seeing an overly exuberant Z car bubble. A just year ago, jaws would have dropped if this sold for even 35K. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A just year ago, jaws would have dropped if this sold for even 35K. What's incredible is that there was a $40K bid placed only 25 minutes into the auction, blowing the first bid of $10k completely out of the water! This morning a third bid came in at $42.5K and and hour later the bidder who placed the earlier $40K bid placed a bid for $45K. All of this happening during the first 12 to 13 hours of the auction with 6 and a half days to go. If activity like this continues on these auctions, it could cause a bubble.

26th-Z Posted April 3, 2019 Share #9 Posted April 3, 2019 Doesn't it have a replacement engine? I think the original engine comes with the car? Of course, it ran when parked.... The front of the radiator support should be black - brush painted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, it ran when parked.... The front of the radiator support should be black - brush painted. You're correct, it has a rebuilt 2.4 liter replacement engine and the car's original engine is included with the purchase (which makes it a hassle for the buyer having to pay to transport both). And yes, I also noticed that the front of the radiator support wasn't painted black - which really shows up when a 240Z happens be white or another light color. The grille looks bent as well.
