S30

There is an S30 coming up for auction close to where I live. The details are very limited at this point. Evidently the person who knows about the Datsun is out of the office for a few days. Is anyone able to tell by the only picture I have if it is a 2+2? I don't want to try to shuffle my schedule around if it has a back seat. I'm guessing it's a 280... Any help would be appreciated.

Hard to tell, i am 85% sure its a 2 seater. The distance between door edge and wheel well seems short, its a tough angle, can't see any distinguishing features. Window also seems to just slope down up top instead of straight over and then down.
I would take a chance!

Thanks for the reply. I looked at pictures online for at least an hour last night. I think I will go bid on it.

Any idea what this may be worth running/not running?

That I can't give you a clear idea due to where I live, I would wait for a reply from someone closer to your area that knows the pricing better and can give you some input.

Looks like the left front corner has a bit of damage. Bumper looks cockeyed and the light bucket isn't aligned correctly.

I hope the other photos you're looking at show that side, otherwise you might be disappointed.

I tried a search for that car online but with only one photo and a location near Hell, I couldn't find anything.
Hell, California, U.S
Hell, Michigan, U.S.
Hell, Grand Cayman, the Cayman Islands
Hell, Norway, a village in Stjørdal
Hell Station, a railway station at Hell, Norway
Hell Creek, a place in Montana notable for Cretaceous dinosaur fossils

Am curious to know how this comes out for you!

I didn't realize there were so many Hells. Hopefully I can get some more info on this Z.

It was clean and rust free. Hasn't run in 15 years went for 4K.
