Ad says not for complete sale. This was Johhny5's car. I watched it on IAAI until it went to live bid. It was either $4900 or $4500 bid on it before the live auction began.
Sad to see another one gone

Used to chat with John over the phone about his Z.....Ok,so your saying this car was up for auction? If so, apparently by the insurance company...

So now it looks like who ever got this car is selling the parts....Does anyone know what it sold for ? Was it 4,500,4,900 if that figure?

That car was in great running condition....Top end ported along with a fidanza....

If in fact that car did sell for under five grand, that's a steal...I would imagine the motor is worth that alone, maybe more....Interior and doors are worth a decent amount also I would imagine...

I am sure it went quite a nut higher. That was the prebid before the live auction.
Lots of great parts available.

How did he manage to take out both rear corners?
One I could understand, but both?

He was cut off on the highway and hit the guardrail and spun. I understand the insurance company offered the car to him for $4000 or $4500 (I think he had posed it up) but then added $2000 for storage fees.

Just bought the complete 35k mile engine/trans out of this car. It was listed on eBay. Negotiated a sweet deal including shipping off line from eBay. It comes with a number of things I won’t be needing including the trans. I’ll be selling off that and parting out the current 90 engine in a few weeks. Stay tuned.
