Hey Z enthusiasts, help me out here. Has an L24, 5 speed out of a 280zx, tastefully modded, and seems to have had a lot of recent work done to it.

From the ad it sounds like a pretty good Z. The owner is thorough about it which is great. I'd say to go check it out. Definitely look out for rust. That's the big killer of these cars.

Nice price. With that bumper conversion already done, all it needs is the wheel bearing, clean up and coilovers.

Also, the interior doesn't look too bad. Missing a horn button and those can be kinda pricey. Besides the seat bracket thing, everything on the interior can be fixed pretty easily. It's in a hell of a lot better shape than mine haha

Looks pretty sharp, good modifications done to it also. I'd say if you have the cash, and space go for it! But check for floor pan rust and make sure to budget in repairs.

I'm really interested in this, it's modded similarly to how I'd mod my own. Definitely gonna be giving this guy a call soon.

I'm certainly gonna have to go see this in person. Clean Z, and the interior looks pretty nice. I don't use my horn too much, but I bet I'd end up putting one in anyways haha.

If you don't I will. Seriously if this thing is still forsale once I'm back in the states I'm going to show up with cash and buy it.

It actually looks really nice. If the paint is good, get it.

I'm scared of a few things. RUST! Really really look at the repairs. And if it rusted there, surer than shit its rusted somewheres else. And a new wiring harness? Whhhyyyy? And as someone who is installing a universal wiring harness right now -you get the fusebox with a bunch of colored wires attached. Its up to the installer to figure out how to attach that to all your stock connectors. Meaning that most cut the wires to the plugs + attach them to the new harness. So if done with crappy crimp on connectors, theres 100 oppertunities for problems.

Yup that's a w212. They didn't make E63 coupes right?
My uncle has one of the previous gens, I think a 2007 or 2008, still looks sharp with AMG wheels and its frequently detailed black paint.

Yeah I don't think there was an AMG coupe
The later W212s might be a lot better, just like my later year of the prior gen was great. Mine was a 2007. Looks like your uncle has a later year prior gen too.
Mercedes might be just like BMW now and have bugs in the first couple years
