This is a true NO RESERVE AUCTION HIGH BID WINSThank you for looking at my auction for my 1975 280Z Datsun. This car is not a fluff and buff for re-sale, but an enthusiast/collector owned car. We are just simply out of room and we are faced with selling a few cars or building yet another storage building. All pics were taken on 5-14-2015 except for the storage pic which was taken prior to paint. The 2 older pics are from approx 1990 (old wheels). Now for the cars history (I'll try to keep it short). This car was purchased by Florence Winsor in 1976 in San Ramon California where it spent it's entire life. It was her pride and joy and she drove it sparingly until she was unable to drive it due to health issues. Prior to her passing in 2010 her husband "spruced" it up for her with the current wheels/tires and correct carpet kit and seat covers from Arizona Zcar. It was refurbished mechanically at this time with brakes, une up, brake lines etc etc. She and her husband were huge San Francisco Giants fans and season ticket holders for many years. It was her wish that the car be donated to the "Giants Foundation" which provides funding for children and teenagers to participate in sports programs. I purchased the car from the auction company that handles the sale of said vehicles. Now for the car itself........ This is by far the ABSOLUTE BEST 280Z body that I have ever seen !!!!It is 100% rust free. I just had it taken apart, stripped and repainted with Spes Heckler base clear in the original color at a cost of $5, 00.00. Needless to say it is beautiful and laser straight. There were only a few very small dings that were repaired. NO OTHER ISSUES WITH THE BODY... SUPER NICE !!! The car has 81, 00 actual miles and will guarantee this in writing!!! Mechanically it is great. No known issues, it runs and drives really nice. Very nice and smooth driving 280. The car is very original with only the plug wires and some hoses having been changed. It still retains most of it's original components under the hood. No teenager modifications at all. It's a 4 speedmanual with factory A/C. All gauges work except the clock. the interior is very nice but it does have an aftermarket radio installed. Console is very nice as are all panels. The car still retains it's original exhaust system with catalytic converter and muffler including the factory shielding which is unheard of. The bottom of the car is very clean and rust free as it should being garage kept and a California car. The wheels are Konig "Rewinds" with Bridgestone tires at 90% tread. The front spoiler is a BRE style. I have included 2 old pictures from about 1990 and 1 from where it's stored now Now for the boring stuff. The car is obviously 40 years old therefore it is being sold AS IS WITH NO WARRANTY!!! It may have close to 82, 00 miles since I'm driving it to the car show in Tennessee this weekend. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time for any reason. Inspections are welcome and encouraged during the auction NOT AFTER !!! please call me with any questions or concerns at 864-520-4611. FLY IN AND DRIVE IT HOME ANYWHERE

I added more pics and evacuated the R-12 Freon this morning, pulled vacuum for 1 hour to check for leaks and converted the car to R-134. A/C is good and cold.
