I saw this today at the same dealer I got my 300ZX from. They got it from the original owner, or so they say. They told me it's been sitting for the past twelve years, and the motor is locked up. It's got the original motor on it. From what I could tell it's fairly rust free. I found a few spots bubbling under the paint, but what do you expect from a 34 or so year car? Anyway, sorry about the pics being kind of bad...I took them with my cell phone camera, and it's pretty crappy. The car is in Beavercreek, Ohio. The dealer is Krug Auto, and their website is http://www.krugauto.com

An exterior pic

Another exterior view. They want $4000 for it, but they would probably make a deal for a lower price.

The interior is OK. The driver side is worse than the passenger side (especially the door).

The steering wheel center

The engine. Like I said, it's locked up. They took the valve cover off, why I don't know. I think they were getting ready to remove the engine.

Finally, the door 260Z badge (Passenger Door), and the "Z" badge behind the rear window (Driver Side). Both sides have the badges.

Too bad the motor is locked up. Looks like a clean s30.

Beautiful Car. Locked up engine isnt a big deal with a 260 in that good of condition.

Looks to be a clean car. Far too expensive for what it is though.

Yeah no way would I pay that much or even 1/2 that for a 260 with a locked up engine (though, depending on what's locking it up you might have an easy fix, WD40 in the cylindars, and Back cranking with a big wrench/breaker.) though it's probably easier to replace the engine, unless you'er worried about #'s..

Indeed. I think you could do better elsewhere, unless you can talk them down quite a bit.
