While I was browsing Ebay I came across this a new that I had to show you guys.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/280ZX-10th-Annv-8-500-Original-Miles_W0QQitemZ120041874678QQihZ002QQcategoryZ6187QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

We've seen them before. At nearly 11 grand and it's reserve is not yet met, to me, it has two things going against it. 1.) Price, 2.) 10th anniversary or not, it's still a ZX.

Yeah, I'm not big ZX's either. I really prefer the first generation Z's, but I thought that this one really stood out since it had the low original miles and everything...

Search the archives there is one somewhere a goober from ALabama is asking over 200k for...

WIll

if the original sticker price was +13,000 us back in '80, then to not drive the thing and it was taking up space in some real good storage area, you'd have to make at least 30,000 on it--if not you look like an idiot...and there aren't very many people who would pay 30k even if it does have 8500 miles...remember the one in the Z mag that had 200 miles on it?

I sent the following note to the seller.. be interesting to see what response I get if any.

Hello:

This is just an FYI - so that you don't look like your BS's and so that you look like you know what your talking about... Almost everyone in the Z Car community has seen several 10th AE's with less than one thousand miles on them. While 8.5K is certainly on the low end of what is typically on these cars.. it's far from exceptional as far as mileage goes. Many of them can be found at Z Car Shows with 8 to 15K miles across the country.

I'd expect to get bids in the $15K to $18K range on this one..but I'm afraid that Private Listings of bidders will hold serious buyers out of this auction....I wish you good luck with the auction.

It's also intersting that he doesn't show any pictures of the engine.

Can't wait to see what kind of response you get.... would be surprised if you got anything.....

The car does look nice, but I think the rarer Red/Burgandy & Black combination is much nicer. I am curious about the condition of some of the inner bits, say the GAS TANK-is she nice and clean, like the car might lead you to believe, or is she rusty, rusty, rusty?

One thing of lesser importance-Whoever typed up the ad should avoid ALLCAPS because the spellchecker doesn't work with it.

EXEPTIONAL!! is actually spelled Exceptional-the seller forgot the "C," I wonderd what else was forgotten...

i have a black red 7645 miles.
