Don't get rid of the radio, even if it doesn't work! They are getting quite valuable and there are people out there who rebuild them.

Waking the Sleeping Beast Part II - 50 years later !!
The ballast resistor reduces the current the points in the distributor see. They last longer that way. Main fuse box is in the center console. Only other over current devices are the fuseable links. If the battery is charged it will start and run without the alternator or most any of the lights

What is this in the 1971 240z ??
I agree with others, dont go chopping on anything. Find the thread on "waking the sleeping beast". Work through those steps before attempting to start it. Also its best not to start multiple threads. It makes it hard for others to help you

Do I need a bumper?
I would rather damage the bumper or nose of the hood versus building up a bumper reinforcement and damaging the frame. Condensers and radiators are easy to deal with

Z's on BAT and other places collection
I thought it was $54,500? DId I misread it? Still a very respectable car and not nearly as correct as some here... @Zup Never mind it must have updated or something. Almost 70k for a "lowly" 73'! Superb!!

Radon systems typical ventilate under foundations, slabs or in basements. Can be complicated to retro fit but obviously worth it in some areas
