okdan Posted January 17, 2002 Share #1 Posted January 17, 2002 has anyone seen the supposed 22k mile Black pearl car on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=600318392 the only problem is the seller claims that it is original paint -- but it is a 1977 -- so that is not possible (is it) also I have never seen a black pearl with a white interior overall car looks good but seems fishy (probably a better car than the supposed nissan resto) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Rogan Posted January 17, 2002 Share #2 Posted January 17, 2002 Didn't the Black Pearl edition have red accent stripes on the hood? Also, that edition came out in 1978!!! I don't I could ever feel comfortable buying a car off Ebay, without being able to see it first.Marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmack Posted January 17, 2002 Share #5 Posted January 17, 2002 It doesn't say in the ad that it is a black pearl car or not. Just implies that that the black paint is rare. I love how they say it has 20+ "original" miles, then put their disclaimer that they can't verify it! Starting to sound familiar?I doubt this is a Black Pearl Edition car, and if so, $6700 sounds like a lot for a 280! I'd look under the carpet, around the interior, and in the engine bay for signs of another color before I bought this car. Just my $.02....

okdan Posted January 17, 2002 Author Share #6 Posted January 17, 2002 I actually have paid exactly $6700 for a 280z in the past (but wouldn't for this one)the red stripes on a black pearl were optional -- so it is possible to have an original black pearl with out themI asked the seller why a 22k mile car would have been repainted -- he claimed it was original paint and wanted to know why I thought it was a repaint (I explained that as far I was aware the first time datsun offered z car in black was the 1978 black pearl edition)he refused to send me a photo of the engine bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
