Bruce,

Well said. I plan to drive my 240Z until they say I can't drive anymore...

Carl,

Herein lies the buying decision that we all have to make.

Hi Bruce:

So I take it that the answer to my question is "NO" it will not be $5,500.00.

FWIW,

Carl B.

Arnie, I just received an email and seller confirmed your post, he believes it is sold. I requested that he let me know one way or the other as soon as he knows.

I talked to him this morning and it sounded like it was sold, but you know how deals can fall through. I will gladly look at it for you if he doesn't sell it.

When I called he remembered my name and that I had bought a microphone from him about 7 years ago! Weird co-incidence!

The car in the craigslist ad in the beginning of this thread is my car. It is no longer for sale. I've actually decided to keep it and keep moving forward with refreshing it. The body and paint process has seemed quite daunting to me, but with the encouragement of several CZC members, I can see it being manageable. EVILC and JLPurcell, thanks for your interest. To all others who made complimentary remarks - much appreciated.

That's the spirit! We all get discouraged from time to time, get overwhelmed with other priorities or get hit with whatever. Glad to hear you've had a change of heart. Good luck!

Gary it looks like an amazing car. All the best with the refreshing!

Glad you are keeping it! Thanks for the time on the phone.

No, Carl, that car wont go for $5500, nor should it. A "done" car for $5500 would be the all time smoking deal.

Guesstimates as to the value of a new 2.8 motor is, ready to run? Ztherapy induction set up complete? Complete new front suspension, comp springs, urethane bushings all the way through. 5 speed, r200 3:70 diff...... complete new rubber kit installed?? And that's just what comes quickly to mind. There will be a bazillion other things addressed on this car before it's judged right and ready to ho down the road.

On the Spokane car, glad you decided to hang in. Bring it to Canby in June.

Bruce , will the Z be done in time for the upcoming Roadster show?
