I was looking thru the Seattle & Spokane, Wash. Craigs Lists for something to do the other day during the Classic ZCar blackout and spotted these items for sale -- cheap or for free and thought I'd share:

Okay, the last one's a joke, but the others look interesting even if I'd need a shoehorn for the roadster or pickup. There's an 810 for the fans as well. Here's one I forgot, doesn't look familiar to me: http://seattle.craigslist.org/car/113927483.html

That 810 is the same one that sold on eBay about two weeks ago for $660. It was a salvage title and I don't know if I believe the description being given by the new owner.

That WPL411 has been butchered to put the L motor in it.

Whoa! a 79 810 coupe!

Wish it was still the original sora blue

The green 320 is nothing compared to the one on sale down here.

BPE anyone?

Yes, the red one is very nice. I knew I recognized the 810 as having been discussed here before. I really like the price on the white 280Z, wish it was closer. Gary

FYI that 64 roadster sold like instantaneously.

And the Craig's list 810 listing has been deleted. Interesting!

Stephen,

Just a couple of quick questions for you. What kind of gas mileage do you get with your 810, auto or manual, and is there much room for a driver on the tall side like 6'6"? I'd like to get something a little eaiser on gas than my pickup truck (when the snow goes away) and have been eyeing a couple of local 510s that might be available -- however I haven't tried to see if they have enough room either. My Z is still in pieces.

My 810 averages 19.5/25.5 city/highway. It's a 5 speed. Right now it has the standard B 5spd which has the same ratios as the 280Z. I'll soon be puttting a 83 ZX 5 spd in it so the mileage might increase slightly. I'm 6'2" and if I wear a hat it will touch against the headliner unless I tilt the seat a little. The 510 actually has about the same headroom. I've owned a couple of those in the past also.
