Terrapin Z

A little late chiming in here........ Another thing we hoarders need is racking. I picked up this blue one for $40 off CL. It is 100sf in a 25sf space, worked out pretty good. Just went out today and added to the hoard. There is a 9/71 at a local yard. I grabbed the doors, scoops (one fiberglass), pedals, sill plate trim, grill, and some smalls. I keep a a nice set of spares for my car, and sell the rest to fund the projects and my hoarding diZease . Finding the stuff is almost half the fun. The better than half is driving my Z !!!!!!!

Good trade, Thanks Jerry.

Hey Jerry, I have this one, it looks as if a PO had tried to glue the horn pad on or something, so it is in need of some clean up.

Those warranty covers are interesting. Does the dealer assembles them with the warranty card and include printed information inside the outer cover as in my pic? If so, how do they get the staples to appear under the blue outer coating as in unseens's pic of a completed book? Mine is printed on the inside, and has the staples covered like unseens too. I would think the warranty books would be made and stapled in Japan, and come with the car to the dealer. I would Completely expect a dealer would have the window stickers with a dot matrix printer that fills out the info for the car they have. Cool to have a blank one. I would also be interested in buying a set just for a cool display. Just saying', It might not have been such a bad purchase after all

I was surprised the engine was not sitting in the passenger compartment. With the rear tire like that it would be easy to parallel park.

At B&R wreckers in Creswell OR. https://www.autowrecking.com/parts/view/id/9731722/see/6465724

I guess I should copy the pics over so the thread will last longer than the car is for sale. Next time.......

You are probably right about that, or a RB or KA. Something might show up as a build on Hybrids. To each, their own..........

This posting has been deleted by its author. Sold?????

Yeah I tried when the ad first went up back in Nov. But he wanted too much then, and still wants too much now. Pass.......

It is possible he never sold the radio as he first told me back in Nov. Now the radio is $800 and the rest of the car comes with it for free.

Ah you have fallen for the trickery, please note the sold list. The bottom pic is the most recent. No steering wheel. When I talked to him at the first post he said the radio was spoken for even though he did not include it's name in the sold list. It's best asset now is an E31 head and an 71A trans. parts that are already gone are as follows;seatsseatbeltsigniton switchdoorshatchdashfendersSteering wheel horn buttonAshtraycenter console

I saw that come up the other day, he still wants $800 and it is pretty well striped.

Just came up Portland. Not mine Looks pretty nice https://portland.craigslist.org/clc/cto/6025694509.html

Funny I thought that as well. Also isn't the radio supposed to sit outside of the center panel?

I sympathize with you JLP. I ended up converting an entire room to parts storage. Kind of a Datsun parts man cave, complete with a wood stove.

True enough, eBay Motors does not conduct business outside of an eBay transaction. I told her to have the car delivered and I would pay cash. No response. I suppose the scam works sometimes, or else why would they keep posting these ads? CL = deal in person / eBay = deal within eBay.

Sounds a lot like this one from late Nov. but with a new car for bait. I am a LT of USAF and I was transferred to Hickam AFB in HI for a 5 years period and because they cant ship all my cars here i am asking only $4,000 for this one. My Datsun is garaged at the Logistic Department at Fairchild AFB ready to go. No rust, garage kept,no accidents,clear title under my name. The shipping will be free for you because I will transport the car using a military trailer. The financial part will be managed by eBay Motors, which means you will have a 5 days inspection period BEFORE committing to buy my car. In this way we are covered during the steps of this transaction. Pics : http://s36.photobucket.com/user/reDatsun240z/library/

The price of patina is going up. Even at the dropped price. I'm with Jeff on a price of $400 not $4000

No Matthew, I was just poking fun at the ad. JSM : I saw a Sunbeam that was filled with dirt and made into a flower pot recently. That's where I got the idea.

Looks to be sold now. This posting has been deleted by its author.

But honey, you can fill it with soil and plant flowers in it. We would have the best flower pot ever!!!!

Price drop now only $375

Ahhh, correct. PNW patina

Seattle rain will put out the fire, and add to the rust color, all in one fell swoop.
