Namerow Posted October 2, 2021 Share #997 Posted October 2, 2021 12 hours ago, DC871F said: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224622229120?nma=true&si=TdVXYK%2BCsEjtyEAzd6BJ8qLh91E%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Did this go way to cheap? Based on what I can see from the photos, it sold at a fair price. It might have pulled $15K on just the right day, but that rarely arrives on time. The floors need to be replaced. Maybe the front frame rails, too. The interior has been rode hard and hung up wet. Dash is really bad. Door cards are incorrect. Seats look shot. The sunroof is unfortunate. Most Z buyers don't want this and it's hard to restore the roof to as-new condition without grafting in a completely new panel from a donor car. We also don't know whether there may be collision damage lurking in the dark areas. The only offsetting feature that I can see the set of first-gen wheel covers. And even they need restoring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zspert Posted October 2, 2021 Share #998 Posted October 2, 2021 Can anyone identify the shop in the background? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted October 2, 2021 Author Share #999 Posted October 2, 2021 (edited) Another low mile 280Z. Seems a shame that it spent so much time in the garage, not enjoyed. 1978. Already at $45,000. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1978-datsun-280z-108/ Edited October 2, 2021 by Zed Head 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zspert Posted October 2, 2021 Share #1000 Posted October 2, 2021 Very nice. Weather permitting, I'll look out for it at Hershey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freez74 Posted October 3, 2021 Share #1001 Posted October 3, 2021 I would think that aftermarket undercoating would devalue the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Pic nr 1 on the bat listing of this car.) Funny - Pic one and Pic six are the same pic just reversed, but not the 240Z script. Smells fishy!! That car sure is dirty for being in an auction setting.

Av8ferg Posted October 5, 2021 Share #1008 Posted October 5, 2021 The exhaust....that’s what I found. Pic one you cannot see the exhaust pipe but later pics you can and instead of going straight back it takes a 90 deg turn towards drivers side. Looks odd for sure, the pics were taken at different times and why would you bend the pipe like that unless you are trying to stop exhaust from getting in the cabin.
