MickyG Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 It's very..... purple. It's also in Brisbane. Words cannot do the rear wing justice so I had to attach a picture.

zzzzed Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 the angle of that rear wing looks like it would give lift not down force Quote

This is a well maintained vehicle with good tyres, the engine delivers smooth performance, the paintwork and interior are in very good condition and anyone seeking this marque should consider an inspection. The vehicle has never been involved in an accident - it was subject to bare metal preparation and repainted in its original colour in 2002 by a paint and panel shop with major insurance company accreditation."

hunterzed Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 Take off the rear wing, bug catcher and guages and it would look heaps nicer. I really doubt its the best in oz but you can see the work that has gone into it and if someone wants to pay him 55k then good luck to him. Quote
garvice Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 I don't understand why people think they can improve on the Z tail lights (240 and 260). I personally love the original lights, suit the rear end really well. Each to his own though. Quote
stevo_gj Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 heh, we can't help picking apart something when it is declared 'the best' can we Quote
zzzzed Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 best car comes down to personal taste. To him it probably is the best. But to me it looks like it has been done in custom hot rod style and just my opinion this style does not suit a car that was designed to be a sports car however i can appreciate the work that has gone in to it. he has done a very good job I think this style would more suit somthing like a 260c Quote
J.B. Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 Sorry reverendzed, but I hit the 'buy it now' last night at 1am. I've been looking for a 240 or 260 (2 seater) for the last month, and when this one came up for $3,750 I couldn't resist. Spoke to the owner this morning and the deal is done and dusted. This is my first Z that I've ever owned! So excited to get it back to Adelaide and start a ground up resto. The owner is glad that its getting restored and wants me to send her photos. Look forward to being more active in the forums now that I actually got a Z! Quote
zzzzed Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 First in best dressed i guess. It is good it is comingh to south australia We are lacking members from over here Quote
mossy Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 Looks like Revs been pipped at the line again, if I see any bargains come up Rev I'll send ya a PM to keep it on the low down Quote
C.A.R. Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 Haha Rev. Dave needed another project like a hole in the head! Congrats on the purchase JB I hope you can handle the bodywork that it will inevitably need... Quote
Sirpent Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 This is my first Z that I've ever owned! So excited to get it back to Adelaide and start a ground up resto. The owner is glad that its getting restored and wants me to send her photos. Look forward to being more active in the forums now that I actually got a Z! Congrats and welcome to the fraternity............... That was a great buy, Im just suprised it was nabbed at that buy it now price 20 seconds after the listing opened. Cheers John Quote
MR260 Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 I was also looking at it today and put a $2000.00 bid on last night just to test the reserve. Oh well Lurch probably would have killed me if i picked up my 2+2 after all his hard work and dropped off another Zed with possibly even more rust hiding. Sounds like a bargain though no matter what the condition is congrats JB Quote
J.B. Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 Thanks Guys, and no hard feelings Rev. I don't think the seller realised just how much demand there would be for the car; she was saying that her phone has been ringing all morning (number posted with the ebay ad). Just goes to show that constant vigilence on all websites, forums, classifieds, etc. can eventually pay off. Only problem is its 'buying blind' - I'm sure there's plenty of work to be done to it. Although she has had it for 20 odd years and kept it undercover = hopefully minimal rust. Lurch, I hear your the man to talk to about body work.... Quote
mossy Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 There you go, ship it off to Lurch first then home to SA, might have to get on the waiting list though. Quote
