Mine was much worse.  His isn't bad, one small piece.  It has the typical gouge marks from the seatbelt latch.  Looks like somebody was loading rebar.

You haven't seen the door vinyl pictures? Somebody shut the doors on that re-bar.

Are we talking about the same car?  Not seeing therm.

I clicked on the 188+.

So he's not hiding anything.  He just doesn't know that the direct side shot is a good one.

That's what I like about BAT. No scammers can get through and they know it. Plenty of photos.

No one mentions the painters work? (who should be ashamed)  In the first video (car exterior) on 1:22min.   you can see 3! different colors of silver on the fenders and hood..  (Maybe the left fender is like the hood (if you look from another angle) the same but the right fender is much darker. as is the headlightbucket.

The P/S front fender has been resprayed for sure, not a very good match but nice clean Z. 

Watching the walk around video you can just feel that warm California breeze, I'm looking a foot of snow out my window.

I think that the seller is just showing a used 1978 280Z for sale, all warts and defects disclosed.  It's not a "matching numbers" "Series X" 240Z.

I have come across what is obviously the true inspiration for the Z car.

Man, that looks WONDERFULLY 50's or 60's.  Italian styling from that era knocks me out!!

I owned a 1958 Fiat Transformabile (Spyder) for many years.  Classic 50's Italian sports car styling.

Bought this for a friend. 67 chevelle 383 stroker. 15k. It's currently in the port of new york

Great looking car! I love the 66 and 67. It was my favorite model and dream car as a kid.

Clean original 1975 2+2 automatic that I had overlooked is up today.  Already doing well.
