Ok, here's the newest Z...

[justaZcarguy]

Well, since the untimely death of my satin gray car (ok, ok it's primer...) I have been shopping quickly for a replacement.

I found one.

Lemme know what you think.

1971 240 (birthdate 2/71)

NO RUST, was a Southern Cally car until recently

Eibach Springs and front bar.

Suspension Tech rear bar.

Fresh KYB struts

cross drilled rotors

poly steering coupler

L28 Block

N47 head

Bored (a bit he thought)

headers 2.5" exhaust

Anza exhaust

Fresh SU's

Dash cap

Velour interior

Vertical Defog

Hella H4's

Front air dam (flexible)

Borg 5 Speed tranny

3.90 Rear

Chorme Valve cover

Stock 5 hole wheels from '71.

This was a one owner car.

Guess the price...

Ok, enough suspense, $1200 bucks.

Lemme know what you think, I'll post more pics tomorrow, after 10 hours of cleaning mildew from the interior, which is now spotless by the way and buffing paint and making a few other changes, it's a totally different car now.

But posted below is the pic when it arrived at the new home.

Looking forward to info / reviews.

Thanks, have a great Monday....

Sounds like a hell of a deal, doesn't look too bad either...

As long as there are no "hidden rust surprises" I'd jump on it!:cheeky:

Only thing I'm not sure about is the T-5 Borg Warner, they weren't known as the best shifting trannies. But hey, it's in there and you can alway find a 5 speed ZX tranny later...

Maybe your "accident" may have worked out in your favor. The parts on this one are worth the purchase price.

[ZmeFly]

if like 2 many says there arent any hidden surprises

[justaZcarguy]

Well I've looked it over a bunch.

Under it.

In the battery tray.

Stripped ALL of the interior.

Including the spare.

Wheel wells and who knows where else

It's been 10 hours of fun.

Gotta love it.

Oh, found no rust.

Also, the tranny was out of a '82. Am I wrong about the Borg?

:classic: There are always "those people " you hear about.. You know , the guy that falls into a shi& hole and comes out smelling like a rose . conggrats, Carguy looks like your smelling g o o d !

[Ed]

That's nice, especially for that price!

[That Ozzy Guy]

Now that's a bargain! Congrats, car looks and sounds great. Interested in seeing the chrome valve cover.

...and it's a one owner too. Did you rob him blind or what?

[justaZcarguy]

I actually felt like I did....

But he actually was offered $1600 for the car and chose to sell it to me for the $1200 he originally quoted me.

Here's the reason why...

The "other guy" was buying the car for his 16 year old daughter. He decided to sell the car to a Z nut that would take good care of the car instead of making more $ and watching her destroy the car.

Now that's a true Z car guy.

And God knows that car saw more attention today than in the last two years.

So, I think that we both benefitted from it.

Tomorrow I'll post pics of the new and improved.

Boy was it dirty.

Have a great Monday all, thanks for the replies!

Cant you put a coat on that DOG ? makes me get chills thinking of going out in that cold to !!!!! If he is a she , she's going to freeze her toto. you know whatI mean ROFL

[Ed]

Actually he loves the snow. I take him outside and he goes nuts. I'll post some more pix.

[Gav240z]

This whole dog thing is way over my head sorry guys but can you let me in on the joke???

Here's a pic of my doggy she's usually very happy don't know why she was looking like this when I took the photo but ahwell.

[ZmeFly]

has to contend with the womans miniature yorkshire terrier

me personally i would much rather have a rhodesian ridgeback i think they are a most beautiful animal

heres a link to pics of one if no one knows what they look like

Brian,

okay you paid 1200, what do i have to pay you for it?

J/K... great find, I'm extremely jealous, and can't wait to see more of it. 16 y/o daughters first car...don't even wanna think about it.

to the dog lovers...

my wife and I have finally settled on the dog for us after we get out of this damn apartment. After much pursuasion from me she agrees on a weimaraner. If you haven't seen one they are simply one of the most beautiful german pointers you can find. They are all pretty much a silvery/gray color, and look a bit like a lab. Heres a pic.

Gav240z, So where's the picture? Is your dog invisable? or a pretend dog?

[bonniec75209]

:classic: Speaking of pets, I will be getting one in the next month or so. I figure winter is almost over so now is a good time. I love German shepherds, but since I am an apartment dweller, I will probably settle for a cat.

[CoastGuardZ]

Bambi,

dude, remeber those dog collars with the leash attached that you could walk around with and looked like you had an invisible dog?

they used to sell them at disney world and all. too funnyROFL

I walked in to my garage yesterday, about to go to work, and there was a little shitzu staring up at me with it's tale waggin like it knew I was going to give it something. This is not my dog. I don't own any dogs. This is not the first time this has happened either.

Can anyone tell me why the dogs like me?!! It freaks me out when a random dog is wondering around my yard. I usually don't bother it, I just let it wonder. I've yet to encounter any dog poop, so I don't think they come to do that.

I attached a pic of the dog that was in my garage. It wouldn't go home, so i'm going to hold onto it till the pound can do something on tuesday.

[2ManyZs]

Hmm, looks like a Pekingese to me... either way, if it's a $^!# Too or a Peke, you don't want it.:devious:

Yappy lap dog.....

I was out shoveling snow yesterday and a beautiful Siberian Husky came over the snow pile and then didn't want to leave. Layed down in front of the kitchen door and cried to come in... Don't think my dog would have understood....Finally told it to go home and it trotted back down the street. Kinda ironic, during a snowstorm to see a Husky out running loose...

[justaZcarguy]

Maybe he just wanted to see the Z

Let us know when the Saint Bernard comes around :classic:

Hi Spunky,

I get the same thing ALL THE TIME!!!! All kinds of animals just seem to flock to me. I have had pets that took to me that their owners were amazed because they never let strangers near them. My mom is the same way. I guess animals just know animal lovers!!!

[carguyinok]

Did you get to keep your old car for the parts? The new one looks real nice. congrats Not many people can find a replacment that fast. Good job and nice find.

[justaZcarguy]

Below is a pic of the improvements.

Thanks have a great day!

I'll post a shot of the rear in the next frame, I need to figure out how to post pics directly onto the page....:stupid:
