Why couldn't the poll say He/She...! My BF can't drive stick! I don't have to worry about him doing anything other than wish he could...yet:ermm: .

Do they EVER have events like these on the east coast!?!

Damn...forgot about the boyfriend, 5 cats, 1 dog, gecko and fish tank!

Hello. My name is Shannon, I'm 31 and I live in Gaithersburg, MD. My very first car was a '79 280ZX and that was all it took for me to fall in love with small, fast cars. Back in August of '02 I bought a '73 240Z off of ebay and (thanks to 2Many) realized that the car was going to need more work than I had ever imagined. The car has since been sold and I have learned quite a few things about these little wonders. Over the weekend I bought a '75 280Z that is in really good shape. It will need a little TLC but not much. At least this one runs and runs well. I've had my fair share of play toys and daily drivers. 1979 280ZX 1989 Chevy Beretta 1994 Pontiac Firebird 1993 Ford Ranger 1967 Mercury Cougar 1999 Pontiac Firebird 1997 Ford F150 Flareside 1984 Ford Bronco 1973 240Z 1987 Volvo 740 Turbo * 1975 280Z * *= still have. What woman needs clothes, shoes and jewelry when there are cars!

Are they serious? Is that really supposed to be a Z?

WOW!! Little car, big price tag.... Thanks for the info. I don't know why the insurance company needs that info but at least I can give it too them. I don't want to put you through the trouble of scanning and emailing although I do appreciate the offer. I think that the amount should suffice. I'm glad that the one I found needs only minimul body work and runs like a champ. It's been garaged or stored but started and driven for most of it's life and could not believe the price! Lower than dirt cheap ! I'm considering my self lucky. I'll post pics after I pick it up in two weeks so that all can see. THANKS!!

Does anyone know what the sticker price was in 1975 for these cars? I have been offered one (cheap) and the insurance company wants to know what the cost new was! Any help is appreciated. :classic:

a fuel filter? not sure. would need to take a closer look. the PO said that it would start and run for a very short time (less than a minute) and then just give up. the carbs are the....round top ones and i believe they are new used. he gave me the originals and they now grace the dining room floor. i know that he also said something about the engine smoking...until i get a battery in it i just don't know...he gave me ALL the reciepts for parts and services and i remember seeing a newer reciept for a fuel filter, air filter, spark plugs, plug wires and distributor cap.

the oil is fresh as is the coolant and master cylinder fluid. the plugs and wires are new and he put new carbs on it before he tried starting it about 2 months ago. i also know that he drained the gas train and put fresh in at that time. most of the hoses are new or at least look new. the PO did a lot of work to the car in hopes of getting it running but it would only start, stutter then stall. he also bought a new choke cable but never got around to changing it out. how in the hell does the choke on this car work? i see the little lever but the choke knob had been broken off. anyways, thanks for the advice. any more is greatly appreciated!!

The 240Z that I bought sat for 10 years but it was started from time to time as the PO tried t get it running. The last unsucessful attempt was about two months ago (I've had the car for 2 1/2 weeks now). I am including a snippet from an email that a friend sent to me to see if you guys think I really need to do all this stuff (not that I understand half of it anyways). "The z is cake but you need to check several things before trying to crank it. If it's sat for a while the cylinders need to be fogged with lube and the engine needs to have the oil pressure primed or else it will score the cylinders and possibly tear up something. The fuel is most likely trash too so that needs to be transfused with decent fuel as well as making sure there isn't rust in the fuel system." HELP!!

I had a feeling that I might be a little outnumbered...not completely outnumbered. Well, at least I know where to turn to if I run into any major problems with the restoration of my recently purchased 1973 240Z . I guess I am trying to prove to "the guys" that some ladies are Z car nuts too.

Does anyone know if you can add an entire A/C system to a '73 240Z that came from the factory without? I am contemplating this matter considering how warm it has been this summer but just don't know if it's possible. Any responses would be appreciated!

I absolutely love the new 350. I have been waiting a long time for Nissan to make up it's mind and I think that they did a hell of a job!!

I figure I'll be 31 in less than a month so I might as well vote 31.
