There is no recourse if you use a gift card versus some other form of payment

I agree, lot's of alarm bells there

That's a great looking truck! I agree you have to be fast sometimes. Look at how quickly CL ads are deleted after they get posted to the forum.

It is surprising how strong the interest can be on decent or even really rusty Z's on Copart. To the point where there is almost no difference in price from Copart to Craigslist. But the craigslist car normally has a clean title. Making it much more preferable. I have watched several times for a bargain but hard to come by unless you are looking at 280z's

I believe, if you add "site:classiczcar.com" at the end of your search string it will only search this site

Too bad. I was thinking that might increase the appeal. Not an issue in my part of the world

It's a 2+2 but it's an early 280z so it's emissions exempt, correct? https://www.copart.com/lot/35528149

It's a draw through turbo set up

That aught to bring good money!

Block off the front brakes and see what you get. It has to be one of just a few things: Air, a leak, bulging line, too much slack My bet is on air if you've got the adjustment right. The lines are long and I have run almost a whole quart through to get all the air out Do the rear drums have any lip on the inside edge?

That is really cool!

I don't know the condition of Mathew's hood but the one with the bruised nose is the one Bruce's friend has, I believe

Definitely easiest, if you can receive it with out damage. I don't have any experience with the current repops for fitment

Those kind of dents are very difficult for me. There is basically no access from the backside. So I would resort to stud welds or maybe even a plate and pull it. But you can't really hammer and dolly it to fine tune it. The 2 crease lines also make it harder to reverse the dent. If you were super adventurous you could de-skin the hood and fix it properly but a daunting task! You might could open the structure up on the bottom side, so you could slide a flat bar up in there from underneath. Then drive the dent out that way. I think there are 3 stampings at the front of the hood but I'm not sure and dont know the finer points on the construction.

Oh, I agree. Sort of like "rust free Z". I would just try to get more pics. Especially if it's being shipped. Becomes more important the further it is. Good you have leads

I keep them all together with the title work in my files

Those are the AC drains. Added if the car had dealer installed AC Did you use Searchtempest?

You could do that or try pulling the booster first. If the master isn't corroded on the rear end then you could just replace the booster and move on. That would be cheaper and you could do all the labor. If you have questions post up some pictures

@Zup This should give you an idea of how much too low your insurance coverage is! ?

Normally you can pull the master cylinder far enough away from the booster to get the booster out. The lines will flex or bend enough to do this with out unhooking them. MSA is using a rebuilder I'm sure. I think price would be my first consideration. Also your master cylinder is most likely leaking into the booster causing the failure. That would require replacement and bleeding if it's the case. There will be a lot of corrosion at the end of the master cylinder and many times you can pour excess brake fluid out of the booster. The fluid destroys the internal diaphragm

I think I found 7 nation wide. Closest seems to be in Norfolk. Several in California I searched "240z hood" in auto parts

I have an old reproduction hood on my project. It's ok, not great. It needed work to get mounted properly, properly arched and slotted the mounting holes to get it close to lining up. As for used, have you searched craigslist yet? (searchtempest) Shipping might be an issue but there are usually a few spread out around the country. Rust is an issue on many used ones

The first looks like a valve lash cap. Silver is bad!!!! Put a manet in that and see what happens. The last time I had a similar situation, I destroyed a camshaft. Might be bearing material though...

Brake bleeders have a special shape and a special material so they seat properly. They are the proper piece for the location. Find another solution...

I have been watching this coming. I am not sure they will ever legislate it out. I think they will price all but the wealthy out of self driving cars. The insurance and or property taxes will drive the majority of them off the road. Politicians can plead plausible deniability and still remove them from the road. I also agree smart phones and poorly trained drivers account for a lot of this. I know of someone just this weekend where a woman looked straight at him, the motorcyclist and still pulled out. There are just too many distractions and poorly disciplined drivers. I passed a semi the other day who was messing with his phone and wandering on and off the rumble strips!!!
