The car suffered a good amount of side damage; hit a railing of some sort at a good rate of speed. The left side rims are destroyed which mean, the suspension, brackets, braces, etc. could have bent and sustained major damage. You probably will not be able to align this car back to factory specs. The frame its self may have endured damage by the impact as well but hard to tell.
Of course you will need air bags, but its up to you if you want to replace these. Cosmetic repairs are obvious, front headlight, front bumper, fender, door, rear quarter panel, rear light and bumper.
You are looking at a very high cost to repair without the guarantee the car will ever drive normal. Unfortunately there is a good chance you will never truly get a feel for how the Z really drives.
Return of investment is pretty much zero because if you were to sell the car, you will hardly get anything for it with a salvaged title along with the cost of depreciation.
Why don’t you chop it and sell it for parts?
