280Z 2 seater Ebay

Sgreed....Brown looks good

Rest of the floor/chassis looks exceptional

Obviously that rusted from inside out but very strange how it attacked it so hard

I've had a few genuine but not looked after Z's from CA and they've been remarkably rot free

Out of interest, what would be the best Z to import to make money.? Do you have any for sale?

I would imagine a 240z, black interior, red/orange, silver, white,blue exterior, no big bits of rot on the frame. No.
 
Looks like a car in good shape on the face of it but the paint seems to have had a recent-looking blowover, and the right rear quarter looks a little odd; there appears to be an indent above the arch but the arch itself looks ok, or just the light? And if the paint is recent then a bit worrying that rust is coming through the cowl already, makes you wonder if there's anything else hiding under it.

Not saying it's a rot box but would definitely not bid without seeing it first.

Change of paint colour (and some other stuff besides) - simples !

Agreed but all relative - one of those is going to cost you +$8000, add in all the other costs and it'll land here for £9k and it'll still need some serious mechanical upgrades just to bring it to standard euro spec - hard to see where the big profit is ?

Nissan sold more 280Zs than all other S30 put together (I believe) so still plent to choose from meaning the 'bargain' at the moment for someone wanting a 2 seater S30 - lose the bumpers and lower it - job done especially if it's one that comes with a 5spd box.

S30s frequently rot at the end of the chassis rail but yes, iot has gone significantly worse than anywhere else....but not structural.

The 280Z I had was the same .they get damaged and water gets trapped inside.
I ended up replacing both chassis rails that ran under the floor

Fairly easy to fix.remove rusty part and then fit an oversized channel section to the remains of the sides of the chassis rails
 
Probably sold then !

280Z perfect in dark green/tan int, auto box but sold with a 5spd box alongside, deep front spoiler and Minlight-style wheels and on French (euro) papers and plates :£10350
