If it has a Bose stereo then there's a good chance it has premium. Heated seats are another sign (which I see switches for on the console), not sure if the coupes had memory seats as an option for that car. Interior says it's an 05-07 but I can't remember what year memory seats and the intelligent key hit the coupes. 06 maybe? I do know if it's an 05 those weren't available.

sounds plausible. definitely a good fixer upper

I think it's more than that, if you look closely you can see that the rear reinforcement is tilted forward meaning that it was hit in the back. Also the right quarter is damaged where it meets the bumper.

I did some research and it turns out that the memory seats or the intelligent key didn't come out until the 06. I believe heated seats came standard on the 05 coupes.

This should be an interesting thread, I haven't seen one of these while I've been here yet on G35D.

It looks like the whole rear end needs to be pulled and straightened. I saw a thread like this on a another board for a guy who bought a Grand Prix GXP with very similar damage. It came out well, but his father or some family member owned a body shop.

I don't know much about the rear end on these cars, but luckly it wasn't the front since they have nearly ZERO fluff for alignment.

Good luck! The marketplace here may have some suspension bits you may need. Don't forget to check the 350 sites, too. They share many parts with G35c's.

^^^Wow so what parts do they share with the 350z? I'll be sure to take some pics of the damaged suspension parts once the car gets to my place.

^^^ Everything except the springs/shocks is shared with 350Z. You can use the springs/shocks too, but it will slightly lower the car.

good luck with the build.

It looks like an 05 from the headlights? 2006 got the bi-xenon headlights and revised taillights. (Not that we can tell from behind...lol)

It is an 05 indeed I'm having the most difficult time ever finding a driver that will tow it from Georgia to California for a reasonable price. Can't wait to bring it home.
