Craigslist ad may be a scam....:

...however it looks like the car is real and comes with a hefty asking price:

Jaguar never made a Mark X 2 door or convertible, so this is a well done 1 of 10 aftermarket conversion.

LOL. NY plates in a Flint, MI listing, with one pic.

 

Then, Kerry posts the Hemmings listing with the SAME CAR out of NY. For $52k. With many pics - and a contact person - to back it up.

 

Yeah...that CL list needs to be flagged.

I flagged it. But since I saw it through CL first and that is what made me look up the car I thought it would be funny to include it.

That’s gotta be some guy pranking his friend and not a serious ad. I will say it’s probably a great prank just thinking about the kind of responses one usually gets from CL.

I'm nerd blocked at work but apparently there is a website and a whole number of youtube vids for this car:

What is in the water there??

40k gtfo

 

so you kinda have to know what you are looking at with this one:

 

1) It's an Early US Z. the 1970-71 US cars are special because they have a lot of 1 or half year only differences from the mid 1971-1978 cars which were more mass produced and "American-ized". The sail panel emblems and the bumpers id this one as an early 1971 car. $40K is a couple grand high for a concourse restored early car, but not unreasonable (https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1971-datsun-240z-51/).

 

2) A 1996 restoration may refer to this car being one of the 50 that were actually restored by Nissan. There was a program in 1996/1997 where Nissan bought early Z cars and restored them to new and sold them through Nissan dealers for $24K a pop (about $38K in today's money). I believe they reset the odometers on those cars which would explain the low mileage.

 

I just don't understand this part of the ad: "If I do the light body work and paint it, I will sell for 40k You do the math :)"

 

Ok, so what are you asking now? $1? does it need $39K worth of bodywork? also are you that confident in your abilities that you can churn out a concourse quality paint job worthy of a $40K Z-car? Inquiring minds want to know.

The DinoSSauR! We have owned over 650 SSRs and this is one of the coolest ever. It was modified several years ago as an art car (parade car). It snorts CO2 (tanks are mounted in trunk) and it has an audio system with a number of dinosaur sound effects. The grill is comprised of individually crafted teeth. It has reptile eyes,​ there are small talons on the running boards and it has a tail on the trunk deck. The car won a second place in the 2016 Houston Art Car Parade. The workmanship and fiberglass work is incredibly good.
