#3194 and 4812, both orange and both are currently listed on Ebay. #4812 is already at $9,800.00 with 12 bids and 8 days left at the time of this post: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-Z-Series-240Z-1970-240Z_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6187QQitemZ4621673538QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-Z-Series-1970-DATSUN-240Z-ORIGINAL-80-000-MILES-PRISTINE_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6187QQitemZ4623164822QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

You guys are missing my point. The guy started the bidding at $5k, which was a good place to start, but he set the Buy-it-now too low. Why not eliminate the Buy-it-now and let it go the full 7 days and see what happens? Obviously, the Buy-it-now was too low since it was snagged in just 1 day, and we all know that it was worth more than that. I just think that the guy didn't do his due diligence researching the market, that's all.

Sold for $345.00....just the wheels by themselves had to be worth a lot more than that.

Yeah, but that's the original paint on an Arizona desert Z. I seriously doubt it has any major rust problems.

Alright, here you go: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20408&highlight

Eric, I couldn't connect to the link, it had your user name and asked for a password.

Not sure what part of the country you live in. Most junk yard Zs are pretty well stripped. Here's some project cars from all around the country: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20763

Must be that time of year again (Spring Cleaning) when the wife says the "project car" or "that piece of crap out in the garage" must go.

Eric, Since you saw the car in person, would it make a very inexpensive parts car for someone?

Well, out of the 8 or 9 Zs these people started out with they have one 240Z left starting at $50.00 (a different one than what Eric originally won, then wisely switched out for the white 240), a 280Z 2+2, starting at $100.00 and and a Triumph Spitfire starting at $50.00: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1972-Datsun-240Z-Good-project-or-parts-car-Last-one_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6783QQitemZ8046563257QQrdZ1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Black-1976-Datsun-280Z-2-2-Very-good-project-car-parts_W0QQitemZ8045257430QQcategoryZ6783QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1979-TRIUMPH-SPITFIRE-GOOD-PARTS-CAR_W0QQitemZ8046972280QQcategoryZ6783QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Hey, just becuse it looks like King Kong slammed his fist down on the roof doesn't mean that it can't be fixed You know the old saying - if there's a will, there's a way!

Ouch!! What a shame....as much as the Black Pearls are sought after I'm sure a real good bodyman could rebuild this car with the help of another donor car.

Kurt, How's the project coming along? Please post some pics when you are ready.

Eric, Hope to see more pics of the progress of your new project in the near future.

The subject (below) doesn't look as polished as some that I've seen on Ebay..to me it just looks real clean and doesn't have that chrome-like shine to it.

ahh, Zfever, the listing says the girl is not included....still interested???

Saw this on Ebay, starting bid seems to be pretty high. Just curious, what are these generally worth... this one looks to be in good condition: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4620633447&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT

For Z parts: New 240Z bumpers, dashes, consoles & "D" hubcaps. :classic: Cars: As many clean & original '67 Corvette 427/435hp coupes & convertibles I could find. :devious:

My 3/71 starts at 0; don't know about my '72, it's at the body shop.

It's good to hear your brother got a heck of a deal....From the sounds of things, there must be a lot of 240Zs in New Mexico and most of them aren't too badly rusted either.

Well, now that I've been enlightned, it's a no brainer for me.... hmm..let me think, a factory original from my local Nissan Dealer that fits very well or a repro from BV that costs more and fits like crap??

Hmmm, very curious, I wonder if he's looking to sell the owner's manual & invoice to the owner of #1316 for a very nice profit or if he's interested in buying the car?
