Am I missing something or does it have no bids currently?

Pretty nice car. Could really be finished well with out a ton of work

Interesting.  Comments are funny.  It has an R180 diff.  And an ECU Masters engine control.  Never heard of them but they look like a reasonable engine management option.  New knowledge.

I know the shop that is selling this car and they are reputable. Some really nice cars have come out of there. 

I would expect to see this one go for $25 - 40,000 USD... depends on the mood of the bidders!

You just beat me...  I was about to post that the car looks like a fairly beat up old 73 240Z with a nice engine in it.  Look at the paint and the fender flare work in the pictures.  For 25-40K he should at least splurge on some aftermarket fenders.  Don't know.  I'd need to see a build sheet with some big numbers on that engine to get up over 15.  Just me...

If he cut the fenders to make room for the tires, he probably cut dollars off the sale price.

The sides don't match.  The driver's side is sticking out, the passenger side is even.  This car is a driver, not a looker, I think.

[wheee!]

The fact that the car is in Canada means that a prospective local buyer may spend more here as there will be no importation costs or hassles. A local buyer will be hard pressed to find a good 240 for sale anywhere local. That being said, you're absolutely correct Zed, the car has definite flaws. They are at least being honest in showing them in the pics.

Definitely looks like fun.  The not-so-hot cars can be driven without so much worry.

Here's another new thing.  D-Brinkworth flares.  Never heard of them either.

It got a bid. $8,000.  USD, I assume.

[Zed Head]

$10,000 and there's a driving video now.  Something off, I think, it's a high performance car shop, supposedly, but the video is just a few seconds of cruising down the highway.  They know what people want but don't give it.  It's a 240Z with a turbo and giant tires.  C'mon!

It has some power though.  Thanks for posting this wheee! (Mark).  Fun to to follow.
