"The experts have heard of this car and now you can buy it."

No kidding! I off to the bank...wait, the banks aren't lending right now. Damn, it could've been all mine!

Maybe we could arrange a group buy..........

[sblake01]

NO OTHER Z known to have this motor.......What I do know is that this is a one-of-a-kind car. There are NO OTHERS like it in the United States, and probably not in the entire world.

That's not even true. There are several sites at a least one You Tube video that show Y44 engines in S30s in the US and other parts of the world.

...

I asked him who "the experts" were, and for the Vin...

Of course, now that the car is on ebay, every one of us has heard of it. Though confusing knowledge of the car with agreement that it is valuable is just a wee bit of a stretch:stupid:

A guy in West Aus has put the same engine in his 260Z 2+2, so that guy cant claim it's the only one in the world.

Wow, someone buy this rare piece of machinery!

Wow, a beaten up, unrestored, molested old 260zX 2+2 for a quarter mil? Fascinating... Might be worth more with a quick Maaco respray and some pimped out rims.

Ya know, You could probably pay a competent shop(one with an owner with proper mechanical ability and reasonable judgment;)) a whole lot less to build a much better car with the same engine, put it on ebay and have just as much history-maybe more if the shell didn't spend more than 10 years in the sand...collecting dust and mystery:eek:.

A seller with 0 feedback and a stupid asking price? I figured it was a scam from the beginning. And as of this morning, the auction is gone, pulled by eBay.

haha, you guys are roasting this guy good haha, sounds like a very easy beliver if ya ask me. ive never heard of the motor myself this is the first time i find out nissan had a v8 in the 70's but i know for a fact that z's only had the L series and the S20.

You see that stuff on the Barrett-Jackson auctions ALL the time:

people auctioning something like a '70 Cuda, claiming their car is a one-of-a-kind or the 'only one like it.' It just means it's a car with something like a left-handed cigar lighter/ashtray or any other combination of factory options that would make it the only one with that combination of options.

And they think it'll get them an extra $20 or $30,000
