So I'm sure some of you know of this car. The Minty Z has had alot of internet coverage and was in sema in 2011. Well just recently itwas put up forsale by the original owner Heres the link if you don't know much about the car.

I was on spring break in Panama city beach FL two weeks ago when one night I spotted a cool looking car from my hotel balcony.



I decided to head down and talk to the owner of the car. After talking to the owner of the car for a few minutes I had found out that the owner goes to the same school as me and lives in the same building. I had a few beers in me at the time so I didn't really realize that this car was the minty Z until I looked through my photos the next day with my friend.

Well a few days later I was back in Milwaukee. When I went to park in the garage I saw the 350Z again so I snapped a few pics. As you will see in the photos below the car is pretty haggared from the drive.





pretty good chunk of the front bumper missing.




paint is all cracked and flaking with rust showing up where the paint is missing.




Curbed up wheel




It's sad to see a car like this destroyed so fast but thats what happens when someone buys a car they didn't build and putting their own bloodsweat and tears in to.

Also there are interior panels hanging off inside that I couldn't get pics of.
sorry for the low quality photos. I only had my phone

 

damn thats sad

 

That's really sad...

After he destroyed the fender, he put regular stickers to spell out how he destroyed the car as if that was something to be proud of?

 

It looks like complete garbage now, even the side skirts are broken. Poor Z it deserved sooo much better...

 

I was expecting to read about some sort of salvage from theft after seeing the pictures. Daddy's money?

 

note to self... never sell my 8 to a miguel

 

That's what I'm thinking. No one who worked to buy a car like that would destroy it in such a manner. Atleast I would think... maybe thats just me.

 

His sale post is from 2011 with the last post dated 1/29/13 and he was still trying to sell it even then(1 and a half years later) then it got locked. Then he made another post on some other forums ( FS: 2003 Nissan 350Z Minty Z - G35Driver ) and finally said it was sold on 3/21/13 so the new guy hasn't had it very long at all. Also the original owner seems to be named Miguel so the stickers are either a joke or Miguel actually did mess it up again before he sold it.

 

That Z had been abused to much...

 

smh

 

so tell me, which of todays cars will Barret-Jackson be selling 30 or 40 years from now??

 

this is why im not a fan of slamming cars with ridiculous tire fitment and camber. Its not practical and **** will eventually fall part

 

It has had a tough life apparently.

 

^ true but the original owner could take care of it when things like this happened, fixing it after things like this happened. The current owner will not as I have been told by others who have knowen him for some time.

 

riced out POS + Fast & Furious wannabe = inevitable ending

 

^ mu ha ha.... so true.


Nothing to see here. Move along.

 

An appropriate ending to a ridiculous car.

 

so this car is in milwaukee?

 

yeah

 

lol
