@Route66 They aren’t repos, they are awesome fenders, just 280 fenders. Very modest modification needed for perfect fit. You’ll need a body guy with a welder to move the little clip for the inspection panel to snap in……an easy job, and once you bolt it up, a slight mod to get the seams perfect……all zero sweat. @zspert is the expert to comment on the mods…..you can see the perfect result on my 71.

It seems that's what you've been doing for the last decade and really aren't any closer to a solution than you were when you first recognized the problems. Unless you have a strong emotional tie to your Z, I suggest moving on to another car that you can enjoy driving with confidence that it will run well and get you where you want to go and back home. Just a suggestion that could make your life less complicated and more enjoyable. I once had a '74 Porsche that I never drove farther from home than I cared to walk back. I knew several AAA tow truck drivers by their first names. I was happy and relieved to finally sell it and eventually bought another that I've owned for 32 years.

I have a '73 with an auto and wondered the same thing . Acording to my trasmission man and several others the openion is that they are bullet proof . The fiest thing I was going to do when I bought my Z was pull the auto and go with a 5 speed. I have driven the car three years and have decided to no way , change. I have insted dropped in a moderatly built '82ZX engine. I personally like the auto tranny. Gary
