the chief of a volunteer fire department in New Jersey plead guilty to throwing buckets of rocks and debris on a rare (1 of 30) 1995 Nismo 270R in retaliation for a next door neighbor issue of how water drained from the car owners land to the fire dept land

The 270R—a version of the S14 Silvia tuned in-house by Nismo—is undeniably rare and particularly desirable, and this example was reportedly owned by Japanese racing legend and “Drift King” Keiichi Tsuchiya

The rocks caused chips, scratches, and dents to the paint

The nearly $8,000 that the fire chief has already paid in restitution doesn't cover a new paint job, but that's not the key issue, the 270R’s originality.

Bahna claims the coupe was a matching-numbers example in “mint condition” that was still wearing its original paint and decals. He adds that it now needs to be professionally restored, which will significantly reduce its value as an “all-original collector’s specimen,” and that a deal to sell the car for $500,000 fell through following the incident. He claims that he’s been unable to sell it since. (sounds like a lot of bullshit from someone that needs to get this case resolved, and hopes for half that much in a settlement instead of jury trial)

Mark Bahna says he found the 270R, which is 1 of approximately 30 built, covered in rocks and footage captured by his security cameras shows the chief of the volunteer fire department, dumping buckets of rocks onto the rare car, destroying the original paint.

 Bahna lives right next to the fire station and Scolnick admitted to police that he vandalized the 270R because he didn’t like the way water drained from Bahna’s property onto the fire station’s.
