240Z on ebay

[IbanezDan51]

Well it looks unmolested which is nice, but saying:

“The body is exceptionally solid the chassis rails, floors, inner wings and the panel gaps are all good, although it will require some work in some areas hence it is being sold as a restoration project. The car is complete and I am not aware of anything that is missing. ”

Is extremely misleading to me...

It’s better than some I’ve seen on ebay in the last 5 years but there is absolutely no way I’d even bother trying to restore that for the current price.

You can tell it needs sills, so the floors are definitely going to be rotten. It’s gone around the fuel filler to.
Honestly mental that people will value that more than a good LHD car.

The seller is trying to big it up but he know's how rotten it is, hence the mention of the words 'needs restoration'. The floors look good from the inside. From underneath, I'm not so sure and that engine bay - if that doesn't tell you how damp it's been where it has been kept, nothing will. But people keep finding them somehow ...

looks pretty good to me. All the bits you can see detail of don't look rotten.

 

[Mr Tenno]

What are we thinking? We've seen ones with obvious holes in the bodywork go c.£15k and non-rusty but scruffy ones going for £25k

Maybe around £20k?

 

[uk66fastback]

£12k.

 

[Rob Gaskin]

£21, 736.

(And that's not a guide to anyone thinking of bidding)

 

[jonbills]

£17,756. What's the prize @Mr Tenno ?

What was it then Dan?

If I had storage I'd def buy it at the current price £11,600. Better than money in the bank.

 

[uk66fastback]

Actually, the interior looks completely salvageable so it'll make decent money but anyone thinking this is restorable on the cheap bodywise will catch a cold for sure!

To me that’s not worth 11k but I knew it would make more than this, and will continue to go up.

I think it’ll sell for around 15k.

 

[Rob Gaskin]

What's the betting we see ' The item is no longer available'?

 

[Mr Tenno]

Smug satisfaction.

Interior looks great to be fair to it!

I had already jumped at the seller when it was first listed, he wants the auction to run on.

I wonder what it used to tow!

Caravaner I recon I’ve got a tow bar if anyone wants one .lol

 

[Rob Gaskin]

Over £15k already. We are definitely enthusiasts of the right cars.

 

[Fairlineguy]

Umm call me suspicious
Someone with very low feed back bidding from £10k upwards

 

[Rob Gaskin]

Mmmm. All you have to do is set your limit and bid to it. Ignore the 'noise'. The seller may be watching on here too.

it does seem to have got to 15k rather quickly.
