'72 240z w/SBC Swap and some dubious styling choices - San Diego - 10k bucks

I'm interested to hear from the collective on the styling changes wrought upon this Z-car. Someone spent considerable effort to do this...

I can think of more enjoyable ways to waste money.

All I can see

It's like he was going for a 911-esque look, and then ended with blowfish

That front end is hideous, also most people I have seen do the sbc swap in z's never replace the radiator and they run hot even with the large opening on a stock z. this seems like it would get cooked in traffic in no time

low ballars...

English Mother berkeleyer! Do you speak it?

I'd drive it

In reply to chandler : Better to drive it, than to be next to it. At least while you're driving it you cant see most of it

I've seen worse.

Only if you could show me that the 240Z under the plastic excrement was rust free. People are restoring these from pretty dire starting states so this might not be a total loss.

There is an awful lot of prose regarding the engine swap but not a single image of the engine swap. I seriously need to get my hands on some of that "Stainless Polyurethane" as used in the engine mounts.

If I had to be seen driving it as it is, you would have to pay me the 10k.

Fairly rust-free Z cars? The second is probably pretty close to rust-free. There are always a coupla Z-cars available out here. How much is a good roller worth up there?
