Unhappy Wrecked Z

We got a new parts car in , its amazing how much abuse the 350 can take without impacting the driver!

Well the from the looks of it driver walked away, unless there was no seatbelt worn, then maybe they limped away. As bad as that looks, the cabin held up pretty well.

Lorca, would you care to sell me this piece? Its holds the MAF sensor, And if you can't sell it, can you acquire it.

I was up there last weekend and I believe they did say they had a z that was hit by a train. I could be wrong, but thats what it looks like to me.

Let us know if it is being parted out. Your saying that the driver walked away though?

Lorca,

Are you in the wrecking yard business? If so, do you think that you see more wrecked 350Z's (for their number) than other cars?It seems to me that every day I read about a Z being totalled or at the least being involved in a serious accident.

How long does it take the insurance industry to build a risk profile on a car as it relates to accidents and theft? Does one exist for the 350Z?

It always hurts to see a Z wrecked... especially one with that extensive amount of damage.

We are in the Z32 & Z33 parts business so we buy wrecked '90+ Z cars. Its hard to say if there are more wrecked 350Z's because we really don't look at other cars on auction. I can say this, the 350Z is more likely to be totaled by an accident than the 300ZX, but they both protect the driver/passenger compartment very well.
