@Grkmf3 – @dazman , are you Leiniesbuddy from BaT? why are you selling it again after a couple months? ...
@Grkmf3, I responded to your question but I do not see it posted yet. If it doesn't get posted you are welcome to call me. Thanks and best of luck bidding.
@Grkmf3 – @dazman , are you Leiniesbuddy from BaT? why are you selling it again after a couple months? ...
@Grkmf3, yes I am and great question. I spent three years looking for the very best 240Z I could find and when I found this car a couple years ago, I bought it. The restoration is exceptional as is most every car sold by MS Classic Cars. If you go to their site, you will see this car under the SOLD menu. They have at least 250-300 detailed pictures of the car. The car looks exactly the same today as it did then. It is beautiful and needs NOTHING. This winter I sold my 1989 Ferrari 328 along with this 240Z as a 'package' deal to help finance the purchase of another Ferrari. The new owner immediately placed it on the BAT auction site.......with a VERY LOW reserve. Needless to say, I bid on it as I could see very few bidders were bidding that day, and I won the auction. The price I paid was a great buy for me and the seller explained he was OK selling it for that price as he did very well with the 328 Ferrari. I hope this answers your question. Best of luck bidding, this is an exceptional car.

BID: $40,000
@Bidders, It so happens, I have owned this car not once, but twice. I can share with you that this particular 240Z was restored by MS Classic Cars of Seekonk, MA and they are the ones who restored and sold the record breaking 1971 240Z that sold for an impressive $310,000 in January 2020. IMPO, this restoration was a no money spared restoration seen in the pictures of this gallery. This is a truely amazing example with not only Low miles, but it is restored to the original specs and maintains it's original numbers matching drivetrain and all the documentation from 1973 to present showing every piece of maintenance and proof of milage. For those of you who are looking for the VERY best in a restored 240Z, this is the car. Best of luck bidding!
BID: $35,000
