E-Bay LBZ

[davidb]

For those who haven't seen it an '82 LBZ popped up on E-Bay 10+
hours ago. REAL '82 dunno? Mileage description is, well? You view
the listing & make up your own mind. If it's a REAL '82 w/low mile-
age, originally Rosso Corsa, runs, may be worth bidding on. Hey
are you tempted Jim? You need a new stead afterall.

I wonder why is there no underhood pad? My buddy's 82 (http://lancisti.net/forum/album.php?albumid=53) Zagato had one but he removed it for repairs.
BTW... we are on the home strech with the White 82 Zagato's return to service. All he needs now is a suspension alignment,and replace the center muffler (which he is now waiting to be shipped to him). He should have it ready for FFO 2009.

Well Charlie, I have had a bunch of used 81 thru 82's and none had a hood pad that was intact. You can buy them reproduced now though from Beta Boyz, at least I saw them once on their web site. Having a nice hood pad would make it worth more to me! LOL

All my 75 and 76 Coupes had theirs, not all in good shape, but they all seemed to hold up better. Probably had something to do with a combination of the 2.0 rubbing slightly on it, (ones that had anything left of theirs always showed signs of the FI intake hose indenting/rubbing/tearin on it), and the way they were mounted plus the material used

It is well worth the current price, it looks to be a decent driver and great platform for full restore. But that said, that car's a 128,000 mile car! No Way that much wear and tear gets on even a Zagato in only 28K miles. You can tell just in the pictures, you don't have to read the description. Maryland had a record on the car, that's why the title was done at 113K when he bought it, not because they made a mistake! LOL

A 28K Zag wouldn't have had re-uhpolstered seats, dash cracks, rusty lug nuts, faded wheels, bad shift bushings and the origial paint that's left where it was half butt re-painted wouldn't be that dull......that re-paint detracts from value, it is not a quality job, you do not close the doors, hood/bonnet and trunk/boot, squirt paint and call it restored! LOL, it doesn't take but a little more effort to paint all exposed areas, inside hood/engine bay perimeter, trunk and door jambs for one!......Yuk! what a hill billy/MAACO type crap job!
