If you don't have the time take it to a mechanic and see what it needs to get running and driving right. It might be a tune up, tires, and some alignment. Do what it needs and drive it as a toy. It will last that way for years, not all of these need to be restored. There are a bunch of people that take them apart to restore and they never get them back on the road. Figure out what it needs to be drivable for a year, then drive it for that year before deciding to restore it. That one year of driving can quickly turn into 5 years of driving it instead of 5 years in the garage as a project...

On site buyer pays 10%. Offsite buyer pays 12%. Seller pays 8% if no reserve, 10% if reserve http://www.barrett-jackson.com/bid/absentee.asp#6 I was there last year. These are the fees. Yes BJ gets some from the buyer AND some from the seller on the same car

That is the sellers fees, they get a buyers fee and a sellers fee. If you are there (paid the $500 registration) it is 10%. If you do it online or phone it is 12%

Why does everyone think Jay Leno will buy every old car? He laughed about that in an interview once. His quote was "everyone with an old car thinks I will buy it for a crazy amount of money if I only knew about it, keep dreaming"

or he will get the attitude of "These Z guys are A-holes" and just send it to the crushers.

1970 Fairlady could be a Roadster or Z. Hard to give a value without knowing more details...

If you are only going to put about 2500 miles on the car each year the gray one already has 5.5 years of miles on it (in your case). I would get the 2010

The Roadsters had braided fuel line so it would make sense that some early Z cars had it also.

That's funny. There has not been an actual music video on MTV for at least 15 years now....

You could order them new from Nissan as recent as last November for $12....

This is the 5th or so time it has been listed on Ebay......

That is on the White car, which has a number plate. The silver car does not have that equipment or a number plate (I have seen the car in person) It even has stock wheels. So the Silver car is a regular one with some stripes and spoilers..... All I am saying is I don't know if it is worth rescuing one that has that much rust only because it had a dealer add on package. If you like the looks of it, get a better car and replicate it...

I know what the factory Celica Sunchaser was. If I was talking about those I would have put 30 years ago instead of 15 years ago. Google 1995 Celica Sunchaser and see what comes up.... This was not the factory models, it was a Dealer thing. Why is this different? As far as comparing it to the Seattle Z-Hawk, again, why is the Bob Sharp car not considered the same? The Z-Hawk was stripes, the Bob Sharp car is stripes and some spoilers..... I think it is a neat car, I just don't know what makes it more rare than any other Z. I just think it was a way for the Dealer to make more $$$

From what I read the Dealer put on accessories and some stripes and called it a special edition. Does that make it rare? In that rough shape, what is the difference if I take a regular silver Z and put the spoiler and stripes on it? Why would that one be worth more? About 15 years ago the local Toyota store was installing spoilers and sunroof in base Celicas and marking them up as "sunchaser" special editions. Come trade in time it was still a base Celica.....

It was supposed to be Datsun this year (2010) but we were bumped in 2009 when Alfa announced a return to the USA.
