I've asked the seller for more pictures, hopefully I'll get some. Owner says it's a '72, repainted its original color in 1985 due to vandalism, it's claimed to be in excellent mechanical condition and it's claimed rust free. If swapping in a manual transmission doesn't involve cutting or drilling, and of course if the car turned out to be otherwise sound, it would be quite appealing. What sayeth the group?

Nice car if the underbody is clean. Auto to manual swaps are not difficult. I did a swap about 25 years ago when I didn't have much Z experience. You just need a parts car to get all the parts for the swap.

This car has been on and off both Ebay and Craigslist for quite a while. I seem to remember the only issue was poor installation of the rear window louver.

Some of those pictures are five years old........

It HAS been around for quite some time. I have not seen it, but I'm not that far away. If you are really interested let me know and I can get over there.

I have three manual transmissions...I am sure you could swap it if you really wanted it.

Things that make you wonder just from the limited old pics:

Electric fuel pump installed but mechanical left on block? (fuel delivery issues)

Valve cover not correct with only 44K ?? (broken choke knob and modified ashtray lid)

Passenger side door panel not original ??? (hard life for only 44K especially as an automatic)
