 This Z is an incredibly well preserved 70's time capsule. One owner since 1977,completely unmodified, impecably maintained, and always garage kept. 100% documentation (including a log of every fuel tank fill up) and all maintenance records dating back to time of purchase included. This car has always been (lightly) driven regularly, and I have yet to see a better example of an unmodified '77 daily driver in this condition. Actual mileage is 109513 - 1 roll over at 99,999 + the 9514 you see on the odometer. Be skeptical of the sub 50k mileage figures stated on many cars of this vintage listed for sale. 100% stock L28 OHC fuel injected V6, rare 3 spd auto trans, new battery, recent routine maintenance, 195/70 14 Michelins with original wheel covers and center caps, rare lower body trim panels, and original factory A/C cold & fully operational. This car is currently registered and passed California's super stringent enhanced smog test in Feb 2013. This is a clear testament to the fine condition of the engine, emissions, and exhaust system. Factory metallic copper paint with pin striping is almost flawless. Looks incredible even on the overcast day the attached pics were taken. Just one small anamolous area of rust behind the pass. side wheel. The rest of the body shows no signs of rust. All glass is perfect. The interior is all original and the door panels, cargo area, headliner, original(working) AM/FM radio,original carpet and passenger seat look factory fresh. The dash pad has the typical splitting above the center gauges seen in most vintage Z's, and there are tears on the original driver's seat. Climate control currently doesn't switch over to heat or defrost. This might be repaired prior to sale.

Going to let this beautiful car go for way below the average selling price for '77 Z's in this condition as it has a California "Revived Salvage" title. It was briefly stolen and recovered in 1993. The insurance company "totaled" the car even though the only significant damage was a broken driver side window and a broken shift lock('70's Z's had a ridiculously low blue book value in 1993). The title designation means the car was reported by the insurance company as "totaled"(repair cost exceeded period blue book value of the car) and was later certified by  DMV inspection to be 100% road worthy after repair. The whole incident and subsequent repairs have 100% documentation, which are available for your review.

Don't pass up this incredible opportunity to own a beautifully preserved '77 280Z in original condition. This is a head turner as is, and could be a show car with only minor restoration. It's also the perfect virgin blank canvas for someone with big plans.  A non-refundable deposit of $500 is due within 48 hrs of auction close. Buyer is responsible for pick up, or must arrange their own shipping.  Let me know if you have any questions.
