It's ebay so.... Reserve Not Met or the first buyer flakes.

In some parts of SoCal, an interested person carrying a gun will offer you your life in exchange for your Z-Car

"Fukung" the brand name I loudly exclaim each time the wrench slips and bang my knuckles on something.

Here's a thread on the subject that I took part in:

Hi Mark, Nice to see another person who appreciates both the 240Z and MR2 like I do I'm currently restoring the 1972 240Z pictured below. It is a rust-free car with 41,000 original miles and should be out of the paint shop soon. I have more photos of the car in my gallery http://www.classiczcars.com/profile/1276-datsunzguy/?do=content&type=gallery_image&change_section=1 I am kicking around the idea of selling it when done.

IMHO...the low VIN is appealing, but the condition, lack of originality really just not justify the asking price. You'd be out close to 100K to put the vehicle to right.

And too much sake the night before

I would suggest looking into an escrow service to handle the overseas transaction. http://pages.ebay.com/help/pay/escrow.html I'm sure there is a fee involved, but both parties would be protected and have peace of mind.

Congratulations on the sale. I've bought and sold cars over long distances before and the process you described above is pretty normal in my experience. I would at least request a good faith deposit from the buyer and have it written into the bill of sale along with title released upon remaining balance received by wire transfer. Out of curiosity, what is the feedback score of the seller and has the seller purchased large ticket items in the past? Will the car be shipped? The transaction should go smoothly unless you sold the car to a Nigerian prince

I purchased a pair as well, but haven't mounted them yet. Nice to know the installation will be simple and straightforward

Yeah, last year was a mess. Unlike previous shows, the street in front of the shop was not blocked off. My understanding this was to avoid paying the city for the approval to do so. It made for an event where you had to search behind back streets and alleys to view the Z Cars on display. I also noticed a lot less vendors than past years.

This guy, too.

Note to self: Keep Elon Musk away from my 240Z.

The adhesive on decals will breakdown over time and might be a cause of peeling. A quick fix is to apply clear nail polish to the edges of decals right after you apply them. My plan is to apply the decals, then spray the air cleaner box with clear to seal everything in place. Speaking of air boxes, Mike at Banzai Motorworks is again selling orange air cleaner paint in aerosol cans. I just bought some a couple of weeks ago.

When searching the archives for information, I still find posts from Carl Stahlnecker (a.k.a. Bambikiller), who left us almost 10 years ago. He's another member from the "good old days" of this forum I still miss to this day

Here's an older thread on the subject: http://www.classiczcars.com/topic/33596-original-battery/

It's starting to sound like your frame was damaged at one time. If I were in your situation, I'd take the car to a bodyshop that specializes in frame alignment. That way, you aren't chasing your tail and and actually known what you're up against.

Be careful what you wish for. The appreciation will be a double-edged sword making NOS and used parts spike in price due to rampant speculation.

Without knowing the condition and history of the vehicle how can anyone give you its value?

I've been using AdFenderTM for about a year and it's been working well against a majority of internet ads.
