Hey there. Relisting and lowering my reserve! This beauty is a '71 chop-top 240z with a Ferrari Dino-like rear kit, matching rims, and shaved handles. I got her from an amazing Z restorer out of Tampa (it was his project car) from eBay 11/13. I've since added a few esthetics, but kept her mechanically as I got'er. She's been a hellofa head-turner and fun ride, but I'm moving and need the cash. She came with: a bored-out to over 3L '82 280zx engine that's been modernized with a giant turbo, wastegate, radiator, tubing, and metal lines (the pic shows the quality of the build)engine has ~13,000 on it tranny is also from the '82 280zx transplant (the 4th and 5th gears were rebuilt last year with a 12k mile warranty)the rear-end is from a '76 280z R200 3.5.untouched boost controller and rev limiter (to preserve the engine)a push-pin rag top, which is surprisingly water tight and never gave me issue while (careful) hand-washing or diving, albeit it's not used often I added:the custom weather-proof interior (to match the Ferrari theme)a bluetooth radio w/ micboat-quality speakersnew fuel pumpnew starternew battery new clutch when the tranny was rebuilt HID headlightsa 2-way Viper alarm with proximity sensor The bad: she came with a deep gash in the paint of the trunk, as well as a dent and paint chip where it latches; it is still water tight though, no leaksshe suffers from the typical slight rust issues of the Zs; not extensive, but whomever gets her should note this (I've added the under-body photo to show the normal wear; you can also see the added struts to give the car extra strength in the frame; this was done when the kit was originally installed) the driver seat needs the front rail replaced (unsafe to drive until that is fixed!); I've added the picture to show this the add-on gauges (in the center dash) need to be reattached the windshield wipers were removed to give a cleaner, sleeker look (again, when the kit was installed); this was never an issue for me, I just kept RainX applied as needed (~monthly)the paint has a few blemishes that need a good waxing I have no qualms mentioning that I got her for $12k, put in another $8 in additions and maintenance, and I know I won't get that back. The reserve is set low and, obviously, whomever the lucky winner is will have to arrange pickup. Most payments will be accepted. Checks will require they are cleared before shipping. Happy bidding!
