Thank you for visiting our auction. This is a very nice example of a previously owned vehicle but is likely not in perfect condition. If you are looking for a car that is 100 percent perfect, you need to purchase a new car. If you are interested in a very good used car, please consider this car. Up for bid is a 1976 Datsun 280Z . This is one of those barn finds that you won’t find every day. This is a restoration project. It will need a fuel pump. We fired the engine by putting fuel direct into the fuel distributor and it sounds very strong. It has a header and it sounds very powerful. It will need a fuel pump. This car is coming out of a San Francisco Bay area estate and I was told the previous owner had spend thousands of dollars over the years. The engine might or might not be rebuilt. It sounds very good but has fuel issue at this moment. This would be an ideal father and son project. Or this would be a great race car project or perfect for a V8 engine swap. This is a late 70’s, early 80’s custom that has been in storage for many years and would be a ideal candidate for the early enthusiast to restore as it is being offered for a very low reserve. This is an opportunity to aquire an original California car for a very low price. This California classic is all ready for a cosmetic restoration. The body is quite straight. It has a custom Ferrari like rear spoiler which is a early Z custom from the late 70s or early 1980s. The red paint is not original and is faded in spots. The original color of the car was blue. When we uncovered this hidden jewel it was clear that it had had some modifications but looked primarily stock. It has period era Center line style wheels that look very late 1970’s early 1980’s. The tires have very low mile and look quite nice. I believe the reason the car was parked was the fuel pump. I was told the inline 6 cylinder was rebuilt but have no idea how many miles it has traveled. It has an aftermarket header that sounds great. The body is quite straight however does have some cosmetic issues. With a good prep and some fresh paint this could be a budget sports car. Don’t miss out on this California original being sold with a very ow reserve.The bidding starts at only one dollar. Don’t miss out. This truck can be shipped just about anywhere in the world for a lot less than you think direct from here in California I reserve the right to end the auction early. If you would like to discuss purchase, please email me direct at msport05@comcast.net. I can also assist with shipping anywhere in the country. EXPORT OK! If you are from out of the country and want to purchase the car, we are 20 minutes from the Port of Oakland and 380 miles from the Port of Los Angeles. I can have the car shipped to either location with a flatbed truck. ***This truck is being offered again because of a nonpaying bidder. If you are new to Ebay or have a feedback score of 0-3, or a negative feedback score, you need to contact us before you bid. If we are unable to make contact with you, your bid will be cancelled. Please understand it takes us a lot of time to post and run an auction not to mention a lot money to post a car ad on Ebay. We put a lot of time and effort into the accuracy and detail of every auction and it takes only one bidder to make sure he is the winner and then fails to follow through that makes all that effort and money a waste of time. Our only recourse is to turn him into Ebay so they can strike his account. This doesn't really help me and my auction and it is not fair to the other honest people on Ebay. If for any reason you are unable to follow through on your bid or do not have the funds in hand prior to bidding, please do us all a favor and do not bid. ****I will consider any reasonable offer and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Email me with your reasonable offer and a phone number and/or email. I will sell this truck today. Please remember to read all descriptions and terms of the auction before you bid.

ADDITIONAL VEHICLE INFORMATION I can guarantee I have done my best to describe every physical and internal flaw that I am aware of. However, I don't claim to have gone over every inch of the car inside and out but I have tried to describe the major points as accurately as we know of at the time of the auction. Please remember that this is a used vehicle, and as with any used vehicle, it may have or develop issues or problems at any time. The vehicle is sold as-is, where-is, and with no warranty. Please don't have unreasonable expectations that this is a new car. All information provided in this ad is based on the condition of the car at the time the ad was written. If you would like to view the vehicle prior to bidding, please email me with your telephone number and I will call you to set up an appointment. Please do not wait until the last day of the auction. We know of no reason why you couldn't drive it anywhere, but of course we can not make any guarantee. Please be advised that any vehicle over ten years old is exempt from mileage reporting due to age. Please email any other questions you may have. Please do not email with requests for the reserve. The reserve price will not change what you can afford to pay for the car. It would also not be fair to the other bidders on the car. Bid what you feel comfortable paying for the car. Any requests for reserve price will be ignored. VEHICLE SHIPPING AND PICKUP Vehicles must be picked up within 10 days of the close of the auction. Because we are very limited on space, cars not picked up within 10 days are subject to a $15.00 a day storage fee. We are available by appointment for vehicle pick up during normal weekday business hours unless you make special arrangements. Our weekends are our family time. If you need a vehicle shipped, there are numerous shipping companies. DAS shippers has a link through Ebay motors. You can get an online quote instantly. The pick up zip code would be 94556. All shipping charges are to be paid by buyer. If you choose DAS, we can transport your vehicle to the DAS depot in Hayward for an additional $100.00. DAS will charge approximately $200.00 to pick it up at our door. VEHICLE REGISTRATION, SALES TAX, SMOG, ETC. We are a licensed California auto dealer. The state requires that if you are out of state and plan on coming here to pick up your vehicle, California law REQUIRES the buyer to pay sales tax and obtain a one day permit from the Department of Motor Vehicles. This is not my law but the State Board of Equalization. It can be found in Publication 52, May 2005, on the State Board of Equalization website. Here is a quote from it as it pertains to out of state buyers: "For a purchaser to qualify for the exclusion from use tax described above, title (ownership) and possession of the vehicle or vessel must transfer tot he purchaser outside of California. When a purchaser exercises control over the vehicle or vessel in California prior to the planned out-of-state delivery, ownership transfers to the purchaser in California. Therefore, if any person other than the seller, or an agent acting on behalf of the seller, delivers the vehicle or vessel from California to the purchaser at an out-of-state location, ownership transfers to the purchaser in California, and California use tax applies. For example, if a purchaser asks a friend or hires a common carrier to deliver the property from California to himself at any out-of-state location, use tax applies." To obtain clearance of the use tax and I quote again: "Shipping receipts showing the date of delivery to a shipping agent and the date the property was delivered to the owner (if the vehicle or vessel was shipped). the recepts should include information that clearly describes the vehicle or vessel, such as the vehicle's identification number (VIN#) or license plate number, or the vessel's California registration number (CF#) or hull identification number (HIN#). If the recepts do not provide adequate information, you may need to provide additional documentation. Also, a vehicle purchaser may use from BOE-448, Statement of Delivery Outside California, to support the fact that the vehicle was delivered outside this sate." If you are a California resident, we collect sales tax, registration fee, documenation fee, and a $50.00 smog inspection fee. We then provide you with registration in the window so you can legally drive the vehicle until your title and license plates arrive in the mail. If you are an out of state buyer, you will need to pay a $55.00 documentation fee in addition to the price of the vehicle. PAYMENT INFORMATION Please follow the rules of the auction after it is completed regarding deposit and full payment deadlines. Anyone not following auction rules will be reported to Ebay and appropriate feedback will be left. There is a clear title on the vehicle. A non refundable $500 deposit must be sent within 24 hours of close of auction via Paypal, money order or cashier's check. Full payment needs to be received no later than 5 p.m. on the Friday immediately following the of close of auction. If you reside outside the continental US you must pay via wire transfer. Please don't bid if you are unable to follow the rules. We do not finance vehicles. You mush have your funds readily available at the end of the auction for payment. Your bid is a binding contract to purchase a vehicle. We do not accept credit cards. Due to an increase in nonpaying bidders, we must insist on a nonrefundable down payment deposit within 24 hours of close of auction. Failure to leave the downpayment will result in appropriate negative feedback and I will turn the case over the Ebay Dealers Development and let them handle the situation. Simply put....don't bid unless you are prepared to follow the terms of the auction. VEHICLE REGISTRATION There is a clear title on the car. All vehicles that are sold to California buyers that legally require a smog inspection will include the smog unless otherwise stated in the auction. Any California buyer will be responsible for all state sales tax, license and documentation fees. Out of state buyers will need to contact their own DMV office for registration and transfer information. We will collect a $55.00 documentation fee from out of state buyers. Thank you and we look forward to doing business with you.
