Yeah, i don't know about 40k or not. The extensive modifications are breaking my heart. He needs to put it on BaT to know the current value IMO.

I don't see anything wrong with your marketing or terminology. 99.9% of people can see the detail and perfection of work that has gone into these cars. No-one expects God-like perfection. When you are king of the hill, you might have to kick a few people in the face as they try to knock you down.

I wonder if BaT will pursue their commission if it sold outside of the auction so soon after? Like in real estate, there can be a "commission protection period" if you sell your house after the listing agent contract has expired.

Personally, I was thinking $75,000. If I owned it, I would hold 'till demand comes back. But I'm 48, I've got the time.

"Reserve not met". Probably have better luck on Bring a Trailer.

My map light was hooded too. I thought a previous owner had installed that. I guess it really was original. I recently sourced a hood-less one for "series 1 originality". Now I'm conflicted. If I leave the hooded one on, I'll have to refer to my z as a 'series 1.001',

I've got to believe that w3wilkes' z switch was replaced/upgraded at some point in history. @w3wilkes How long have you owned your 12/70?

Definitely the JDM one. My 12/70 looks just like the Captains.

My 12/70 #17770 has the black unlit switch.

What is that, an ashtray?

Well, that's the best picture I've seen yet. It looks more like a figure 8 to me. I

The pictures are fantastic on this listing. As one of the commenters posted "I can zoom right in" and see the detail. One of the things I've only seen once before is the clip holding the two choke cables together: Anyone else have one on their car?

This is the first I've heard of these "s30world" door seals. I too have the Precision one's now. Looks like this is the way to go!

I did something similar on mine a few months ago but with a blow torch: Heat till red hot around the manifold, cool the threads a little with pb blaster, little pressure on the threads with wrench. Repeat for about two hours until all were loose. It caught fire several times, but I did this outside surrounded by snow.

Rarely do I see old z-cars in Idaho. let alone during snow. This was east of CdA on I90.
