This company has come up before. Stumbled a cross a video about it.

$9,500 for a "new" 240Z body. About 0:50 in.

But, it looks like their replication process has some flaws. Or the narrator misheard 1978 280Z as 240Z. Wonder what the rear strut towers look like.

Found it.

Are those not 280Z tall strut towers? Full size spare tire well. Vented hood. It seems to be some sort of hybrid Z.

240Z strut mounts, they have two angles, whereas the 280 is just one angle. I looked at my parts cars just now.

280 tail light holes. No fake floor mounts. Looks like a full size spare hole indeed. 280 hood vents. 240 rear bumper indents.

Kind of a mash up.

Are you saying it's a 240Z tower? AKA small body? I looked around for resto 240Z pictures and found a few. I couldn't find any 280Z pictures.

The China body doesn't look like this 240Z, below. Three holes in the brace and it doesn't reach the top of the tower. It's an abomination! Not an expert.

And first page of dspillman's resto thread.

I think that there are three rear tower styles -

240Z;

big body 74 260Z, 75 and 76 280Z;

and modifed rear deck 77 and 78 280Z.

The first are two 280Z towers, first a 78 and then a 75. They both have the single angle slope where the seatbelt mounts.

The next set are both from 73' 240Z's and look just like the ones in the China car.

Your early car pic's do look a little different with the 3 hole support.

I'm not grokking what you mean by one angle and two angles, I see numerous angles everywhere, but it does look like they copied the later 240Z body. Then put a 77/78 280Z hood on it. I wonder who is directing their efforts.

The video has only been up 13 hours and already has 3,254 comments and 594,010 views. This is one case where AI might come in handy to summarize the comments.

Might be that they're just building model car bodies to showcase their parts catalog. Might be mentioned in the video, didn't watch the whole thing. I don't see all of the parts on their page though.

Still just a mash up for all the S30 years to me.

Angles.....

Watched more of the video. At the end he talks about one of the fake Broncos selling for $400,000. At 37:00 in the video. Kind of looks like they're trying to create artificial value perception. Apparently they sent a body to a builder, who finished it. The company itself probably bought the car or paid someone to buy it. I'm a cynic.

Weird stuff. Let's see if the 73/78 2X0Z body ends up out there.

I see now. Different eyes get drawn to different things.
