Z Monster for $35k

[Mike]

Anyone looking at this?  Definitely a lot of modification.  Worth the sticker?

Only if you love the mods. I don't

Sounds like it could be a tricky purchase - from the ad:

 

 

[Zed Head]

There's a lot of either outright wrongness or confusion in that ad.  425 HP (500 minus the nitrous) from 11 lbs of boost on what looks like a fairly stock L28 turbo engine.  $70,000 spent on what looks like a fairly stock 240Z with a paint job and not much engine work.  Not seeing the value.

 

Says L24 in the description, L28 in the text.  Wrong VIN.  Says AC, but later says it's just an AC compressor hanging off the engine.  "Track ready" implies that it won't pass emissions in CA.

 

But, at least, the emergency brake works.  With perfect idle and no overheating issues.

 

Notice the last part says "we".  Looks like a dealer picked up a car for cheap and is selling for all they can milk out of it.  I'll bet the seller is not the builder.

This car is track ready and almost no miles after restoration. 

 

 

If there's no miles on the car its not sorted and definitely not track ready.  It takes hundreds of miles to sort a car out and make it ready for the track. It looks like a nice car otherwise.
