New Z for sale on ebay

[oskidunker1]

Buy it now at $21,000. I would be interested in opinions on this car.

I think the one he's talking about is this one:

Not bad, but I'd rather buy this one inste4ad:

This one? A little too 'personalized' for my taste. Beyond that, I don't get into the 'Z Police' thing and point out all of the things that are 'wrong' with the car since I have no plans of buying it. I'm with you, Arne, on the gold car. Edited September 17, 2008 by sblake01

Both look like great cars, both well-priced with a 20% premium for "survivor" status on the 1971. Maybe some price deduction for the -uh- "unique" color that can be a detractor to some bidders. Not a fan of the spoke rims on the red one, but to each their own.

On this car:

The wedge pin on the rear strut isn't tightened down properly. It looks the the suspension just got sprayed with chassis black paint from a rattle can - bushings, fasteners, and everything. Its not a $21K car by any stretch.

Well, for here out West, no, probably not. But in Connecticut? Sure, you can buy a car like that out here for a lot less, but then you have to get it shipped, and how do you spend that much on a car without checking it over in person?

As a clean, East Coast car with little or no rust, $21k probably isn't out of line.

Not only do I not like the look but they are very unpractical. I would be hitting curbs and destroying it in a few weeks. Does anyone think that front spoiler really adds anything to the car?

I believe so! At least on my 240 it has.......at speeds above, let's say 60mph!
