I sense a disturbance in the Force.....or is it just competition in the After-Market for Euro lenses? Dennis

Pointy end down. If it's the proper key, it should fit into the lock slot opening. Then, just a twist to release the lock cam. If it's too wide, or too thick, wrong key. Does it look like the one in the picture and drawing above? Dennis

No disagreement there. The Z you referenced is not a typical example of the "breed", however, and I don't feel that a value generalization can be made that would indicate a market trend. The Z in the ad has exceptional value added in parts and workmanship and the asking price indicates a not unreasonable value for that particular car. Dennis

One leaf falling from a tree is not an indicator of Autumn. Dennis

Not sure I'd like to explain the heavily tinted side windows and low "headlights" if I were to be stopped by the CHP for not having a front license plate. Dennis

The ad also says it's titled as a '62 Ferrari with an AZ VIN. How do they do that? Dennis

I think the seller also thinks the asking price may be optimistic. There are two choices in the auction - "Buy It Now" for 100K or "Make An Offer". I'm reasonably sure the seller doesn't expect the "Make An Offer" choice to be higher than $100,000. Dennis

There may be a significant difference between "wants" and "gets" on this one. Dennis

Enlightening. Thanks, Dennis

I know the story that goes with USA Thanksgiving. What's the story behind Canadian Thanksgiving? Dennis

I guess that means that Canadian Christmas is just a few weeks away. Dennis

And must be sold from a Beverly Hills address.

Several other question accompany the decision. Here are a few. Can you install the replacement yourself after removing the old dash and instruments? Is $1,800 within your budget? What level of restoration do you desire - show quality or cover the cracks quality? How long do you plan to keep the car? Dennis

You mean like when they drove the Ferrari under the low flying jet and connected the lap top to the ethernet cable hanging from the wheel well? Sorry, but they lost me at that point. The idea for the show is based on a real guy. His technology helped catch the recent Boston Marathon bombers. He's had quite a career that began by hacking into NASA when he was a kid. His real story is a little better than the first episode of the show. Dennis

As mentioned by Galaxybj, the fit was loose enough to let air blow in and let moisture escape. Never had a problem with condensation. In addition to looking good, they kept the snow out of the headlight nacelles in the winter when I lived in the Midwest. Dennis

The BRE front spoiler I bought in 1972 for my Z came in black gel coat. I was in the Air Force at the time and after breaking it by hitting deep snow (it doesn't make a very good plow) I had it repaired on Base and painted with the flat black paint used on C130 radar domes. And so it remains today. Dennis

Whatever you do, keep in mind that buying a vintage Z is like going to a movie at the Dollar Theater. It doesn't cost much to get in, but the popcorn and soda will cost a fortune. Lots of good advice in the previous posts. Dennis

I had a set of their headlight covers installed on my '71 in '72 and they held up for decades. Just needed to do a little grinding to fit into the headlight scoops. Dennis

I enjoyed the watch articles, too. Wasn't aware of Hodinkee. Dennis

My '71 is an April build and came from the factory with a metal fan that eventually went through the radiator after about eight years of service. It was a good reason to upgrade to a larger radiator and a plastic fan. Dennis

I guess I don't understand why that's a problem. You have a password on this site as well as having entered your email address to join. Dennis
