$4,000 six days to go!

I figured 4-5k. Looks like it'll exceed that

Here's a few for anyone with a lot of money burning a hole in his pocket: https://www.mecum.com/auctions/kissimmee-2024/lots/?auction[0]=Kissimmee 2024|1704153600|1705190400&q=datsun&sortBy=wp_posts_lot_sort_order_asc

And if you're looking for later gen Z to round out your stable, there are some opportunities as well: https://www.mecum.com/auctions/kissimmee-2024/lots/?auction[0]=Kissimmee 2024|1704153600|1705190400&q=Nissan&sortBy=wp_posts_lot_sort_order_asc

This one has potential to be a nice driver, you would have to strip off the 80s style bumpers and side skirts and try and match the paint.

Has a dash cap rather than the replacement dash as the description says but otherwise it is nice shape.  The seller says he purchased from Barrett Jackson so he probably paid more than he should have but I'm thinking BaT agreed to about a $15,000 reserve.

Interesting cars he has there.  The rusty one is only $69,500.

I found my Z's twin!  Same color and everything, just built 4 months earlier:

No Reserve: 1976 Datsun 280Z 2+2 4-Speed for sale on BaT Auctions - ending December 20 (Lot #131,317) | Bring a Trailer

It will be interesting to see how much it sells for, and I wonder what those floors look like under that carpet?  

[Zed Head]

Here's a good basic 280Z for somebody that wants to get in to the Z world and drive one without spending too much.  Lots of nickels and dimes waiting to be spent but it should be pretty easy  to get back in to good running shape.  Might even make a good "will it run and drive  XX miles" video.

I'm confident my unsolicited advice will go in one ear and out the other but the new owner would be wise to start the operation with an S30 World reproduction fuel tank. Build your house on a solid foundation!

[Yarb]

I 100% agree. Repaired my original tank twice. Total waste of time. Bought the S30 tank. Fantastic reproduction.

[zspert]

There are 2 tiny issues which I'll go into another time. One is important the other not so much.
