Radio for 1972 240Z
Oeps that's a 1000 euro for a radio that (in europe) receives… eh.. almost nothing, because overhere there are very few AM stations left.. i tested one (and sold one) with a test transmitter i have on my radio/audio repair desk .. (it transmits from 200kc till over 100 Mc.) These Clarion's have DATSUN on the dial glass and 5 presets and only AM also known as MW (what stands for the german words: "Mittel welle" what could be translated to: medium wave. )

240z Choke - dumb question? Double lever?
(Sorry in advance but can't help myself..) The right one is for your front carb.. and the left one is for the rear carburetor.. this is made this way for if your front part of the engine is already hot due to the Sunshine.. No no..Now for real.. left is choke ( ofcourse for both carbs) , right is your gaspedal.. for controlling it by hand.. Only the first year (or the first 1,5 or so..) had the right lever.. my feb.1971 has had it .. but when its older it can get dangerous.. so often it is removed..

Steering wheel restoration.
In 2007 i took an old wheel and pulled the fake wood (resin and wood powder mix) off and made myself a fat mahogany wooden wheel! It was 38 hours of work.. 8 layers of blank laquer.. and lots of sanding was involved.. came out nice.. (metall in semi gloss black) There is a ring of 6.5 mm in the wheel.. I made 6 parts on the front hollow and 6 massiv parts at the back, glued the front parts with 2-comp. glue to the metall and the wooden parts with prof. wood glue (water resistant) together.. With a matching gearknob, made on a wood lathe. joke from myself.. the 10 means 10 years of work on my Z ?

'72 240Z on BaT Already at $45k with 6 More Days to Go!
Yeah your missing the fact that such a car is a bargain .. over here a rustbucket with warn out mechanic's is 15000 euro... WAKE UP U.S.A. !!!! The fact that these cars were mostly sold in de States let you think it's a cheap item... (Most have rusted away and everyone wants one..) These cars were 3-4 times more expensive overhere (Europe) than a Ford Taunus (yeah that's what they are called overhere with a 1300 or 1600cc v4 engine.. (overhere midclass) ) offcourse we got the 5 speed standard in a 240z but still .. Little boy's who walk aside of mom and say: Mom look!! What a nice car!! And also i've seen cyclists looking over their shoulder and run into a street light pole! i was LMFAO.... !!!

Original Steering Wheel Colour?
I have made a new wheel in my 240z. took an old one. Took the old fake wood of and made new mahogany around it.. took me 38 hours work incl. 8! layers of paint.. I'm shure when you sanded the old wheel and put blank paint on it (6-10 layers of boat lacquer) it will be brighter, like in the brochures. Lot's af polishing also needed..
