daddz Posted January 15, 2006 Share #13 Posted January 15, 2006 This car screams 'fraud'. It has all of the Z car sins present: sunroof, ugly aftermarket wheels, 'ground effects', awful looking rear spoiler and rust. The seller has deliberately taken great care to not photograph the passenger side of the engine bay, as well as the door tag and engine bay data plate. If you look at the dashboard I would place this car as a 1975 280Z. Notice the 'amp' meter; in 1976 the 280Z had a 'volt' meter. The seats are from a 1984-1986 Toyota Supra MKII (notice the little bulb for adding air to the lumbar area), and leather seats didn't appear in the MKII's until '84. The front bumper and the little piece of sheetmetal behind it most likely were picked from a '77 or '78 280Z as the early '75/'76 280Z's did not have that piece.Whatever the price this car should be allowed to retire to the scrapyard. If the topside looks this bad can you imagine what the underside must look like especially coming from New York?

mriz Posted January 15, 2006 Share #14 Posted January 15, 2006 The only other insult to add is what looks to be a ZX shifter boot and knob along with driver side front end damage by the way the parking light is pushed back . I guess you would have to register it as a composite?

jjones-lg Posted January 17, 2006 Share #15 Posted January 17, 2006 I'm betting it's been clipped with a 240 rear. I don't see the bumper mounts for the 77/78 bumpers that are on the front. Left and right front fenders look different too. Dash is 260? Man what what ever it is you don't want it!!

er34gtt2000jp Posted January 17, 2006 Share #16 Posted January 17, 2006 I would bet money it is 74' 260z, look at the wiring and connectors in the engine compartment as well as under the dash. That with the front turn signals in the grill, who in their right mind would go through the trouble to transplant those onto a 240z!!!!This guy should be strung up by his jock strap and beaten with his own cheesy rear wing!:mad: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/18561-ebay-car-what-year-is-it-really/?page=2#findComment-152367 Share on other sites More sharing options...
er34gtt2000jp Posted January 17, 2006 Share #17 Posted January 17, 2006 The vin is not from a 240z if I am not mistaken as well. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/18561-ebay-car-what-year-is-it-really/?page=2#findComment-152368 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zrush Posted January 17, 2006 Share #19 Posted January 17, 2006 It's a nice parts car for anyone who owns all three 1st gens, 240Z, 260Z and 280Z.

sblake01 Posted January 18, 2006 Share #20 Posted January 18, 2006 Well, whatever it is, it sold for $3400, met it's reserve and I guess the new owner will have to worry about it's identity.
