Lovely 280zx going to auction

[niroshann]

Sorry admin I cannot delete this and need help moving to the 280zx general channel.

Beautiful car and in great shape apart from paint imperfection! Even has all the engine bay stickers! I really love these pre facelift 280zx 2+2 hard tops! If I only had the space (and maybe the money depending on how much this goes for).

I saw that yesterday after a browse on matthewsons - after watching bangers and cash .

It started off as a no reserve and was wondering if there would be any bidders - clearly there is .

 

[niroshann]

Yea I thought that it might have gone through without much attention but it seems to have some serious bidders!

Yeh, looks very solid for sure, and only 20k miles too! Plus the bonus is I have the correct mirror for it... I will donate it to whoever buys it.

 

[niroshann]

Ped, I thought of you when I saw the original labels on all the right places!! You would be all over that!

 

[niroshann]

Sold for 13.8k before fees!

Strong money, that's encouraging. Or is it an exceptional car?

I thought that - that it might be a cheeky bargain. I guess not .

Exceptional car other than neeeding a paint job due to blisters, scratches and dents - so still some money to be spent!

It was getting quite a bit of publicity in a few Facebook groups that raised awareness of it I think..?

That is a surprise. It's an automatic which I thought might pull it down slightly, plus will need full respray, the engine has not been run and the bushes and running gear will need looking at... and it's missing a wing mirror. It will be really nice when it is sorted fully though. Bodes well for 280zx valuations for the future. Valuations were pretty much flat until about 4 - 5 years ago when they started going up.
