I have a set of wheels with them, and a NOS cap that is in my "to be reproduced" list... WIll

Happy Birthday to you, This is no day for a blue, You bloody well better get moving, before they pick up from Australia Zoo. The MRS has them on the phone,:devious: She told Wes not to come alone, Said you were an old root rat,:embarrass: And a stickback raw prawn. Wes brought out the Nets,:ninja: His offsiders came and went, He brought in A jumbuck, but your still not caught yet! This is your day,:cheeky: Crackin a Fat is Ok,:embarrass: Just keep it to your self,:laugh: let the Jumbuck run away! Happy Birthday You bloody bastard! Will

Don't think, do! I am working on some sort of a Z show for Saturday before the main show on Concours on Sunday...I will pass along the info as it unfolds... I am so confused by how very wrong that is while at the same time being so very right! Will

PM sent! Will

Tomohawk, Here is one of the two buffing booklet I use, it has the info you are looking for, the other I will find and post as well, but it is escaping me at the moment-it was written surprisingly enough by a retired rock star! Will caswellBuffbook.pdf

And here I thought it was just too difficult to compare a vintage Z and a Genetic mutation of a Frog! Will

Here Ja go! The flat top has a ring around it...and is on the right and in the third picture (two on a 510 manifold). Will

OOOH Arne, I had no idea you were the-as soon as you weld in the section of firewall-owner of one of the extreeemly rare low vin factory convertibles! AwSH!T, I just gave someone the next car we'll see on ebay... Will

More to the point, somewhere a '73 will magicaly transform to a low vin that is missing the perforated deck, thinner steel front cross member, earlier appointments, and '69 wiring, but it will retian the low vin price until it gets proudly displayed somewhere that it gets identified as changeling. Then the current owner finds out what he bought is not what he paid for...sort of like one of our members a while back, and hopefully not like a more recent member. Will

There are a few people "in the know" and thereby in on many of the private sales. several have posted in this thread. There have been a couple of cars on Ebay recently that were there for a quick sale because there were not "aquirers" waiting for those specific cars, had there been, the cars would have sold for more money and the buyer, the seller, and their advisors would have been the only ones to know until someone went looking... Will

You stepped right into it... " Results 1 of about 111,000,000 for definition of special. (0.38 seconds) Web definitions for special particular(a): unique or specific to a person or thing or category;" WIll

Mike, While you were typing that, i was inviting him to the next Coastal Z Club meeting! I have not offered to go over and help out with the car when it is delivered, but I will! Will

Does this mean you have taken delivery?:classic: Will

I think if you go compare the price of many of the parts from the earliest cars to the price of the same parts in later cars you may find there must be something special about them... Red dot Mirror, Un-shrouded map light, non webbed center vent, metal emblems, seat belts, gray ashtray, 2400 valve cover, coat knobs, framed air elbows, hub caps...from the top of my head. True these were not advertised as "special" Models, but they had special parts... Will

I'm not putting the emblems on my rear spoiler, if I were going to, I would build up a flat on the spoiler like that on the 432, and put'er there, just like on Kats car. Will

Personally, if I were going for a conversion, this is what I would use: Model BMW S70/2 Type 6.1 liter, 48 valve V-12 aluminum block and heads, 627 bhp Bore and stroke 3.38 x 3.41 in (86 x 87 mm) Displacement 370 cubic in, 6064 cc Compression ratio 10.5:1 Engine control system Bosch Motronic with port fuel injection Emissions controls 3-way catalytic converter feedback fuel-air-ratio control auxiliary air pump Valve gear Chain-driven double overhead cams, 4 valves per cylinder, hydraulic lifters, variable intake timing Power (SAE net) 618 bhp @ 7400 rpm Torque (SAE net) 479 ft-lb @ 4000 rpm Redline 7500 rpm BMW's N73 is the first direct-injected V-12 engine ever offered in a production automobile, and the first direct-injected gasoline engine to meet contemporary emission control standards. Direct fuel injection means injection of the fuel directly into the combustion chamber, rather into the intake port as is the norm. It has been chosen and developed by BMW's power train engineers to boost power output and fuel efficiency to higher levels than could be achieved with conventional fuel injection. BMW's system operates on a stoichiometrically optimum fuel-air mixture and can be emission-controlled by conventional, proven 3-way catalyst technology. Will

She used to be his girl! Will

The turbo setup for a fuel injected engine need some serious parts fabrication to work with carbs. It will not run as a turbo with only what you have. Either build a blow through adaptor for the carbs, or complete your EFI system. Will

Don't feel too bad, I registered a car, and wasn't able to bring it-but then that is why I was behind my camera on top of the press box instead of having it beside me on the seat driving with you on the track! Will

$5000, a drive from Indiana to Scranton and back, and then $500 or so to restore!!! You did say you had to have them...:stupid: Will

The best way is to use the "Go Advanced" button at the bottom of the reply window, scroll down the window it opens and actually upload the photo to the thread-that way it stays here with the thread regardless of what happens with Flicker and Photobucket. Will

OK, I am in! I signed up for the convention today! I have a prior engagement the same week, so I won't be there for everything, and will probably be there in a rental car instead of a Z, but unless something serious happens I will be there. Who else is signed up? I(hopefully We-depending on my wifes schedule clearing up)will be headed up Saturday and stay through Wednesday or Thursday. I just signed me up, but hope to add the rest of the family before too long! Will

Thanks, Old Picture! Factory Bumper painted black (Chrome was peeling) I forget where I ordered the airdam from-probably either MSA or Bob Sharp-I'll go back through my receipts in the next week or so... Will

Not that have made it to the shows...They actually do have to get them into the trailer beforehand...ROFLand having a tractor at the show won't accomplish that ! Btw, I am only poking fun at the British cars because of reading the article Mike posted on another thread that talked about the 120Y giving the British car industry notice that an automobile actually could start on every blip of the key and be reliable...as written by a British author!

Don't give anyone any more information than they give you-and you can verify. If you are selling a car, he needs the car info, and some contact info. Arrange to meet him at a local police station if he presses the issue, but give him the address, not the "Business name". If he is unwilling to share the same information you have given, he probably is not interested in your car. How is the car advertised? Will
