Who in the hell would risk losing everything to make "moonshine" when I can go two miles to the liquor store and buy Patron?

That's what terrifies me, most vets go into law enforcement.

"I hate f--cking electronics" I hate electronics too. Never tried to f♡ck them though, my girlfriends have!

Reverse image search through google. Put your cursor in the image, hold down "S" key and right click.

You can pull the inlet of the pump and stick it in a gas can to see if it pulls fuel. You could have a crudded up gas tank?

The first 240 I bought I was hypnotized by the 240 itch and paid too much for it. Lucky I kept it long enough to get my money back but that's my lesson learned, don't jump on one too quick there's plenty to be had for a good price. Use searchtempest.com I think it is, for all of craigslist listings.

$4,000, yeah but they want $14,000. That's a big difference.

Passenger's side of the hatch is a lot tighter than the driver's side too. Looks like a damaged car to me but if your son likes it oh well.

I'd take a GTR if someone feels the need to be philanthropic.

This may get a quicker response? @Apoc628

It is a fine looking steering wheel. Congratulations!

I've never seen a gauge on the sending unit, maybe the interior one flaked out? What happened with e-bay, didn't reach the reserve? Couldn't find anything from e-bay but did see these.

I lost all my gauges when my alternator started "back charging" on my 1972. That caused the fuse to blow as soon as I turned on the key so check for a blown fuse too but it sounds like the alternator needs replacing to me. Seems like the internal regulator had gone bad on the alternator I had. You could stop by an auto parts store and have them test it, quick and easy.

It looks to me like it may be a flood/water damaged car, all the interior's rusted bits and pieces. The lines all look straight on the pictures you've posted but it's had a color change and newish interior carpet and seats. We have a few members from everywhere you might get to look it over, wherever it's located or take it to an Import shop that is familiar with the older Zs and have them look it over. In my quick view I'd say $3,000, around or about. Good luck whatever you do.

Yes! That Lardassian is some kind of ET. Maybe Extra Trunk?

I leave my shoulder belt hooked to the lap belt and hang it from that plastic tensioner like you do.

It's an awesome sight to go out in the mornings and see a whole hotel parking lot filled with Zs. I'll never forget my first morning in Memphis. Guys and gals sipping coffee (Kahlua mixed) and polishing their cars, so quite and peaceful. It was nice.

Are y'all using radiator shrouds? I ask because I went for a quick drive between storms and left it running, popped the hood. I have a full plastic shroud off a 280 and it blows air between the thermostat housing and the distributor across the header runners, pushing the heat back and away. I can only imagine how it flows when I'm driving but they do have a nice opening in the front. That's how mine seems to stay cooler? Just an idea I thought I could mention but I honestly don't know if it's a hard restart or a running problem you guys are having. Best of luck anyway.

The coolant lines are easy to block, it's those two vacuum hoses coming off that thermal vacuum switch you have to deal with. I just pulled all that stuff off when I rebuilt mine, the BPT valve and the EGR.

This will be the fourth one he's bought since 1975, they work fantastic. He runs one all night and the other all day, 10 boxes 60lbs to 70lbs each of pork shoulders, 600-700 lbs a day they sale. The back pit is for chicken and ribs, use them both at Thanksgiving and Christmas smoking turkeys. His look like this "through the wall model". You load and unload inside the restaurant but the fire box is outside. Family owned since 1975, https://www.facebook.com/pruettsbbq/ I thought we were going this morning but he talked to the guy in Texas and they have a special flatbed truck with a boom lift for delivering. Stan worked a deal where he's going to give them the old one and cut the delivery price down to less than I would go for. So I'm not getting a quick $1,000 for 20 hours on I-20 and my teeth rattled out into the floorboard. That's a rough interstate.

It was eleven o'clock at night, they woke me up! I didn't know whether to get a beer or a Bloody Mary.

Bonn Scott, another that died too soon. "ain't too young to worry, ain't too old to cry"

I'm going to Mesquite Texas in the next day or so to pick up a $20,000 Oyler bar b que pit made by J&R Manufacturing. But unable to make ZCON. I'll leave a trail of empty beers to find my way back just in case.

I called my nephew's son my grand nephew and he thought he was something special. He called me his grand uncle! Get that car, quick or it'll be gone then your riding the hobby horse. Just kidding but that really is a neat 240, white with red interior. Not too common.

I live in North Alabama and keep mine in my garage. I deleted everything but the AAR so I'm not able to give real life experience without it but I can say for certain that mine never gets cold enough to open the passage inside for a h higher rpm. It always starts at 1,000 rpm, where I have it set. I honestly can not remember ever having a temporarily higher rpm on cold days. I start mine and hold it at 1,200 until the oil pressure gauge gets 3/4s then blast off. I do know not to hammer down until the thermostat opens and flows coolant freely. Read a couple of people getting on their's hard when cold and blowing out a freeze plug. If it were mine I would leave it off and see how it acts. You can always put it back in the loop of hoses. FWIW
