I am the owner of the car being discussed and no I am not dreaming about what the car is worth. It does look rough in the pics but I chose not to fluff it up, instead doing only what I had to do to get it running. Everything  mechanically on the car is in great shape and it is a very solid running driving original drive train Z. It would be a very easy car to restore due to nice floors, base of dash at windshield, frame rails, shock towers and trunk pan. Since I  have turned down way more than the current bid I guess others agree. IMO  :)

I'm sorry if anyone offended you. I don't think that was anyone's intent. Everyone has their opinions and are very much entitled to them. Your car is a great looking Vehicle and without anyone doing an in depth inspection, they can't possibly know what you do about your car. I am pretty knew here myself, but I have a great deal of respect for the members of this Forum. The research info that has accumulated here is more than you will find anywhere. Perhaps their honesty and straight forward opinions are not received by each of us as it was intended, but I have never seen anyone post or respond with malice or intent to be derogatory of anyone's car or project. Please take their opinions and offered help as it is intended.

Since none of us wants to over speculate here, maybe you can just clear up how much do you need the car to go for?

Yes 262jp - no offence intended at all.

I would love to have the car the way it is (less the extended rears hackles :D) & drive it regularly.

Good luck with your auction!
