zbane Posted January 17, 2007 Share #1 Posted January 17, 2007 Only on e-bay! This is the first body kit that seems to make the car smile (that I have seen), or at least that's the impression I get from it. Whoever did this body kit obviously put quite alot of time into it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1972-DATSUN-240Z-Customed-for-Racing-PLUS-Many-Extras_W0QQitemZ260076931258QQihZ016QQcategoryZ6187QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Note the cloth dash treatment-interesting look, though I wouldn't go that route.

BRE-240Z Posted January 17, 2007 Share #2 Posted January 17, 2007 I was teasing my brother this morning about just this very car. He's been looking for a Z for some time (he lives in Savannah) and I told him that I'd found just the car for him.....ha.The cloth dash and center console covering appears to be some kind of black burlap. Weird! Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/22963-interesting-if-not-a-little-odd-240z-body-kit/#findComment-195867 Share on other sites More sharing options...

hls30.com Posted January 17, 2007 Share #4 Posted January 17, 2007 I don't buy what he says. I just don't see 23 year old technology(with a 8.6 second 1/8 mile) beating too many Corvettes. I think a while back he was trying to sell just the engine and got no takers. That engine looks like it has been sitting a lot more than four years and 15k since any work was done to it. Brand new four year old tires...sitting in one spot for four years...the water lines down the door panels don't inspire too much confidence.I would guess that is a quick bondo job and the flash paint is recent. The engine compartment and interior certianly does not match the exterior(which (even with the severe cropping of the close shots), and says a great deal about the last four years and before...That would be a $500 parts car with a new paintjob unless an inspection of what he didn't show finds everything beautiful and pristine.

Zak's Z Posted January 17, 2007 Share #6 Posted January 17, 2007 Whats that stuff covering the dash and console?? Looks like an old canvas backpack I had 20 years ago.

Sailor Bob Posted January 18, 2007 Share #7 Posted January 18, 2007 That is one weird looking car! I don't get it. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/22963-interesting-if-not-a-little-odd-240z-body-kit/#findComment-195914 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbabcock Posted January 18, 2007 Share #8 Posted January 18, 2007 I completely agree - saw it earlier on ebay and made me wonder what comes over a person to put that amount of effort into making a car look it came out of a hotwheels box?

greenmonster80 Posted January 18, 2007 Share #9 Posted January 18, 2007 Does the rear of the car past the rear hatch look longer or am I looking at it cockeyed?
