Not with me behind the wheel!!

At least the guy isn't trying to hide anything. Somebody had a fun mod it and run it weekend warrior project, looks like. It has other problems. Looks like it's still possible to get it back on the public roads. I wonder what happens when you hit the brakes hard. Something's off with the driver's side wheel.

High performance valve stem? Less is best? 😂

Old red 240Z.

Looks like a very nice car done to a high standard. Interesting that it started life as red, changed exterior to yellow then back to red again...full circle.

The waters will be tested with this one.

Yes, a nice early car. Looks like it's pretty well done. Will be interesting to see what it does and how soft the market really is...

With a bit of investigation I think this is the seller of the red 240-Z

The data plate is interesting on this car...must have grabbed one from the right hand drive pile!

And i bet it was a beautyful and good car? It's a pity that 2+2 cars are not as wanted as 2 seaters.. why is this? I want a 2+2 because of my length 6 foot 4" so i need a seat close to the rear seats haha!

simple because a 2+2 kills the sleek look. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ;)

$16,600 for the Hooner Whale Tail Z. The Z market is unpredictable. Beat-up/beat-on street legal race car with unknown miles on "built" engine, no air filter, retarded timing to run street gas, and suspect rear suspension damage. Good money! Driving videos make a difference, apparently!
