This car has had some unscheduled bodywork. It was hit by a tree, and has been sitting under a tarp for a couple of years.
It wasn't a direct hit, just a few branches, but they hit the roof, the rear window, the rear sail panel, and sheared off the rearview on one side. There was no insurance, and so it sits.
If I was going to pay a body man to fix it right, it would be pricey. Probably $2K +.
And it would still have the advancing return to the earth on the underside of the car.
But here's the good stuff:
It's a '72 240Z. That's gotta count for something.
It was owned by a guy who cared about it, and put a lot of effort into finding all the little bits- so it's got all the trim, knobs, handles, and details that are sometimes hard to find.
It is a totally complete original car, so it's got the complete original drivetrain. I believe I could drive it away, with a little carb tuning.
Honestly, I think it would be best as a parts donor to put together with another good body to make one complete car, but I could be wrong. I don't know what a good finished one is worth, so I don't know if this one is worth the effort. I'm debating selling as is, parting it out, or fixing (but only if someone tells me they are worth some decent change when complete, because this one alone needs some effort).
Thoughts?
