Hardly looks worth trying to restore..... :disappoin

That truly is a heart-breaker. I wonder what the vin # is. I have to agree with you 2ManyZs. Probably not worth the money it would cost to restore it. We all know that to make a restoration job more pleasurable, you should really start out with a half way decent car. Looking at a Z that's just wasting away like that really hurts

The Japanse inspection sticker is still in the middle of the windshield. Most likely it was not driven long on US roads.

Have to agree it is a shame to see it waste away.

I am sure this is not the end of the road for this car. It just needs extreme tlc. If I had the time, money, and know how I would snatch this car, but I don't. I would hate to see this car go to the junkyard . 2manyzs, you should take it. I know you are interested in the Fairlady Z's and you definately have the know how to give this car the glory it deserves. Your kyosho collection told me so. :stupid:

Yeah, I'd like to have one, but this one might be a little more of a project than I need right now. No job=no money:disappoin

Plus I have 2 projects in the garage now....

2 things scare me about this one, no title(?), and, if the rust under the battery tray is any indication of the underside..:cross-eye

if i was a billionaire, i swear, i would by up every single z car heading for the junk yard and invest whatever it takes to restore those cars from ground zero. i can see my garage now..

I wonder what the reserve is?

Did everyone notice the rally clock?

A lot of work and money to get that car back on the road, which is a shame because there wouldn't be too many RHD Fairlady Z's in the US would there?

I noticed the clock, but I also notice it has the vented C-pillars and no hatch vents. I too would like to see the VIN number....

There wouldn't be many in the US that's for sure.

I personally know of only 2 in my general area over the years, and one of them wasn't in much better shape than this one(it was also auctioned off on Ebay about 2 years ago).

werent those fairlday's only available in a 2.0 4cyl?

It was a 2ltr straight 6, L-series. However, there was a L24 offered as well, the car was known as the Fairlady 240z. There was never a Z with a 4 cylinder, they were always straight 6's.

Are those vented pillar emblems or the solid ones I think have been discussed in past forums. I don't think the JDM Z got the "flying wing" 240Z emblem like the early cars sold in the U.S (like in my avatar). Of course I know very little about the Fairlady Z, other then what I've read here. Would be fun, if not expensive and time consuming, to restore. I didn't notice the rally clock, but my laptop monitor isn't very big, also can't tell much about the pillar emblems from the pictures on my computer. Gary D.

This is probably a stupid question, but being from Aus I don't understand what the Title is on a car over there in the US.

Why is it a problem if there is no title?
