What's with the 260's lately? Did I miss something?

I'm printing this thread out so that I can remember the details. I'll have an answer for you by tomorrow afternoon.

Would it be possible to track down the last S30 ever produced? Hopefully she's at least still intact.

Well, here in CA there is such a thing as a temporary operating permit. I am currently using one of these because my 300ZX still needs to pass smog. So until my ZX is registered I am able to drive around with one of those. It's a red paper that is displayed on the right rear windshield indicating the month it is good for. These permits are good until the end of the month. Now, I have just illustrated how It is OK for me to use one. I do not know if the DMV would grant you one with your circumstance in mind. However I am going to the DMV tomorrow afternoon. I can ask for you if you wish.

Something smells fishy. mohammed2: In English please. Otherwise stop wasting everyone's time.

.....It's all a matter of e-pinion. I hope users on here can see past your "no apologies" stance in this arena. To simply enter a discussion under the guise of "you're wrong" is a little bold. I understand and even respect your points. Honestly those thoughts did cross my mind too. We are all eager to see the value of our cars increase over time. But c'mon, the points that others have been making are quite valid too. A little respect goes further than the hopes that a 260Z will actually sell for 20K. In the end our cars will be worth 20K, but for the time being you cannot deny that these days that is a tough sell.

I actually had him in mind. Perhaps.

Awesome! Great job on the car too!!!

1 offer was declined. I was taught to shop smart.

..So how much does this conversion cost?

....I stumbled upon an ad on craig's list the other day claiming that this 240Z for sale had cruise control. I e-mailed the guy asking about this and he said that the previous owner added it. Is this rubbish? Anyone else done this to their S30? Very curious, not that I would. I barely use it on the 300ZX.

...Just for the record Sunrise Z is more than OK. About a year ago ownership was changed, and believe me, that has made a HUGE difference.

I've got Burbank, and Pasadena covered.....LA for that matter. Sorry about the news.

Awesome article, I agree. It's about time.

Yeah, it's a Z, but please. For a 260Z in that shape.....maybe 5K - 10K at the most.

Out here in Los Angeles is quite possibly another dreamer? http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/car/459908615.html

Great idea! Still gotta keep it quiet though. One time my ex and I were in a rich residential neighborhood doing it in the Datsun. A few minutes later we parked in an alley in Pasadena and had another round. Good times!

....Don't know if you are willing to drive out to Glendale, but I recommend Sunrise Z. I've been going there for years. They know what's up. Art and Mike are the nicest guys to deal with. Very knowledgable. Sunrise Z 420 W Broadway Glendale, CA 91204 (818)240-1594......tell em' Andy Smith sent ya!!

Nice!!!

Also, I just spotted this that is quiet interesting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Conceptz.jpg Revise the looks a bit, slap in an Inline-6 and I think that it would be a decent ride. Yes, they were SORT of onto something back then. I'm glad they abandoned the gutless 4 cylinder idea. It would be nice if they brought back the straight six.

oops.

.....The real Flying Feather?

.....Could you post some pictures of the Jag? I know it's not a Z, but it did have several styling cues for the 240.

Damn! Keep us posted.
