Z's on BAT and other places collection

[Zed Head]

One of the orange 72's didn't get bid very high.  $20,750.  Seems like original is the key on the early ones.  Keep those old parts.

I wouldn't try and sale that car with those wheels. Yuck. Mine will have the hubcaps on the car and the Rewinds in the hatch.

Another 71.  Over-riders, shiny mag wheels, and... an L26.  Might as well just drive it to the wrecking yard.  Ruined!  💀☠️↘️

Interesting hard top sun roof though.  Not sure how it works.

Just like the BMW's from the 80's, slides back parallel to roof but in a Z there wouldn't be much headroom.

The BAT post is another one of those weird ones where they don't seem to know how to show the car.  No driving video and many questions about the sunroof.  But no answers.

The comments are interesting also.  A few people saying that the sunroof actually adds value.  Value defenders are active there.  

I'd want to see it working, and not leaking when water is sprayed on the car.  I bet if it leaks it just ruins the headliner, among other things.

The 65 GTO is closing today, soon.  Seems low, but it sold.  $36,000.

If they did it the way BMW did then the whole contraption sits in a pan with a lip around it and has 2 drain holes in the back corners and tubes that run down the C pillar and exit under the car, but if so much as a leaf or thick bug gets in there the tubes clog up.

You have completely dated yourself by the use of the word, 'contraption' (which I personally use a lot)

That would be my Dad speaking through me again.  Here are 2 "flying contraptions" the old man built when he was a teenager in the 1930's

That takes brass!!

Back then if you got badly hurt they might not be able to put you back together again

1977-1978 Datsun 280Z coupe rear 1/4 panels - $350 

This set of rear quarter panels look to be solid and priced at $350.00 per quarter. Located in the Denver area. 

Here's the link: https://denver.craigslist.org/pts/d/arvada-datsun-280z-coupe-rear-4-panels/7272763092.html

FOR SALE - we have a PAIR of rear 1/4 panels cut off of a 1977-1978 Datsun 280Z coupe. The OUTER SKIN will fit the 1975-1976 280Z coupe, but the door jamb panel is different! These panels are different than the earlier 240Z 260Z, but you can make them work. These panels DO NOT fit the 2+2. The door strikers in the pics are NOT INCLUDED! Both of these panels are in decent condition, with no crash damage, but both sides have MINOR rust behind the wheel arches, under where the rear bumper wraps around the sides. The wheel arches actually appear to be very solid!

These 1/4 panels are priced at $350 PER SIDE!! We will separate them, we will sell one side if that is what you need. Located in Arvada Colorado.

Contact TJ thru this listing!

If you are a scammer, I WILL know it & I WILL play you, until you send me a fake check! Come on, let's PLAY!!
