My name's Panayodis Jr Costa but everyone either calls me Pete or Pedro. I'm 22, been working in the construction trade since the age of 15-16, set to be married October 8th and I LOOOOVE my Japanese Classics!!
I've recently bought my first house( :cool3: ) not far from my current home and for years and years I've always noticed this "Red, Japanesey looking" car sitting on the drive next door to mine and it never ever moved. Upon closer inspection and a little research I've discovered it's an old (not sure what Reg) 300ZX Glass-Top in completely original condition. It seems to be in quite a good state with the only visable rust being on very bottom of the rear 1/4. All the chrome trim and glass is in great condition and the rain deflectors aren't toooo faded either :biggrin:
It's owned by an old guy who I think may not be capable of restoring it himself anymore. You can see where he's had a go in small patches here n there but looks like he may have made things worse if anything! lol. Anyways, I spoke to his grandson and he said they could do with getting rid of it and I thought it would look quite nice on my drive :devil:
I'm no Newbie when it comes to buying/selling cars but I would like a little advice with this one. What are they worth in general?! Is there a cut-off point I should consider incase the engine/box/electrics etc is FUBAR'd?!
Nice to meet you all and I look forward to being part of the club! Regards, Pedro :thumbup1:
