What's your Flight Number?

It's hard to tell a lot from the 2 pic's but the smog stuff is missing under the hood and I can't see well enough to see if the manifolds are plumbed and plugged for the smog.

Go over it good I bet they want a lot for it...

[Salvatore]

Looks like wrong manifolds. It is all about adjusting the price to suit the BUYER.

So I assume the above items are dead on anything else is questionable...But it has the exact color combo I want exterior and interior major items are correct and ive been looking since October. I have seen very very few cars with the smog still on them. 90% of the cars i have looked at theres some kind of compromise, things that are not matching ect..."Perfect"Cars are over 50K when you stumble accross that rare car where every single thing on the car is right and its priced right Its either sold by the time you call the guy or its in some color that will trigger my gag reflex everytime i walk into the garage. .

Soooo if one of you gentlman reading this post want to sell me your Perfect Totally Original Z for 40K please email me asap I have the Cash in a brown paper bag waitin for a new owner

That is right 59,000. A little high! On the other hand, Where are all those $30,000 Z's at that people are telling you about. Once you really look at them, there are not really worthy. I have a very nice one myself. R/S with endura bumper Z/28. Sam

wanting 59 is different than getting 59 !!! I would go inspect the red one...

Pointing out the missing smog and wrong manifolds was not a put down of the car. Knowing what you are looking at is a great help at bargining time. I was also going to point out the seperation in the center of the grill stiffner in the 1st pic. Again not picking the car apart...

Around here the smog equipment is an expensive item and most Z owners are putting it back on or running the correct manifolds (also expensive) with plugged smog tube bungs.

Good luck - buyer beware...

Dennis, You got good eyes with the grill stiffner. I feel that all cars are worth something. Like you said we only pick them apart to adjust the cars value. The more points the car has the more it is worth. The less amount of positives the less it is worth. Numbers matching is not as critical to me as a near perfect resto where everything has to look correct. Non matching has to reflect the price. I feel in my area car prices do reflect more the quality of the resto, more than if the motor is original to the car. JMO Sam
