That Z looks better than most of the piles of ferric oxide they have offered up, but yeah, I’d be skeptical of any car they offer up.  

I think one of the members here bought one of their Z's. Sight unseen.  Had it shipped to him.

Was not really as advertised. He posted here he pulling the dash all apart to fix.

We have not heard from him for a while now. Z was supposed to be a runner but was not when he got it. From what I remember.

Yeah, i remember it too.  It's "my new z" from Rabbitz..   i guess he's still praying for some new miracles.

This one from BHCC is fun to browse.  Nice rivet and screw body work and a Turbo valve cover.  Who knows, might even be a turbo engine converted to NA.

Can’t even imagine what the bottom half looks like

It's in the pictures.  BHCC does deserve some credit for supplying a ton of pictures.  The car has seen some high speed bumps.  At least the PO used galvanized metal.

8325 is right behind it.  Better shape, seems to be.

The seller just posted his picture of how the car has been stored for the last 15 years. It's still only at 12K with two days to go.

I wonder if the car belongs to the Bubble Boy from Seinfeld.

A ZX at Tacoma Pick n Pull. Might have a rear diff still intact.

That's a hard hit. Strange angle. Famous 280zx loose booty?

It's rough, bodywork is very rusty, I see many places that have been replaced allread and rusted again. Thing needs total resto.
