Johnz1971

Somebody sloppily pounded a "1" on my 2/70 z too! I like to refer to mine as a "1969 3/2" model year. 😉

Interesting bit on the value of 1970 vs series one 71's... "Is a 1970 240Z more collectable than a 1971 240Z? As not too many people are fully aware that there are two "Series" involved in the 1971 Model Year cars, for the most part, the answer to that question is YES at the present time. As the Model Year limits the quantity available, the 1970 240Z's will retain more of their value, and will be easier to re-sell over the short term. (three to five years) However, if the Z Cars follow the patterns established by other imported collectibles, then the Series I cars will, as a group, be recognized as the Original Z design... and for the most part the Model Year under which it was titled, will not matter as much as it does today."

But he only wants half a case of beer for it! My kind of dude. If I was closer...

That, I did not know. In my defense, I learned European culture exclusively by watching Mr Bean.

Cool car, I am surprised to see the steering wheel on the left. I just assumed they were all on the right over there.

Looks good! Thx for the pictures. My E-brake boot has a tear in it. So, i ordered a new one off ebay. The placement of the snaps was so poor that i just threw it away. I couldn't stand to look at the wrinkles it created.

I was on another forum (firearms centric), and someone posted this commercial that i had never seen before. General consensus was that it was one of the best car ad's ever. 300zx.mp4

Thank you for the reply. I think I'll start calling around to see if anyone still uses solvent based paint.

I'm just about ready to take my z to a body shop for the paint job. As I look at places close to me, the one with the best reviews states on their website that they use waterborne paint. Anyone else use this newer type of paint? If so, is it a close match to the original paint color look?

I spy a series 1 in that gaggle:

I see 3-$400 worth of useable parts there. Advertised as "well priced" at 5k? Wow.

Well, that sure sold quick. Cant even see it 4 minutes after you posted this.

...And the BaT comments on this one are pure gold! "“There is a crack on the driver’s side front fiberglass fender” That is the only one. All other crack was used up during the construction process""

Haha, i posted this one here 6 months ago when it was listed on Ebay... look's like it didn't sell then.

Good advice above. However, always use "goods and services" for purchases. Even if you have to cover the small 3% fee. Easy to get your money back from paypal in these circumstances... in fact, it is the best way to weed out scammers as they will no longer have the item for sale if you insist on "goods and services". I see your scammer has logged on since this thread: https://www.classiczcars.com/profile/36368-mikegreen008/ Good luck to you!

Could someone please post one of her in the "boobs" thread? Thanks.

71 240z: Looks like he has most of the engine compartment intact. 15k OBO Might be able to talk him out of the future paint job that come with it. https://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/d/spokane-1971-datsun-240/7439281803.html

Funny! My Dailey driver is a 08' grand prix. One night on the way home from work, i side swiped a deer. Ripped off my passenger mirror. Years later now, i remind myself that my first car (240z) never needed passenger side mirrors. So to this day I've never replaced it.

I called Z Therapy, but they are 11 months out on rebuild exchanges. Then texted Paltech http://paltech1.com/how-to-order/ No response. Then contacted https://www.sucarburetors.com/services They don't work on Hitachi's Next on my search is this company: https://www.applehydraulicsonline.com/collections/datsun/products/copy-of-datsun-tokico-master-cylinder-tokico-sleeved-and-re-built-1 Looks to be an option. 5 stars on google reviews. Anyone else here use them?

I wonder if the strategy here is to garner attention on Ebay for a few months at that price...then move it to Bat?

1.25 million. Cool. I'm afraid I could NOT cover the deposit on that one. Edit: Deposit is only $500? OK, ok, i guess i could do that.

Ah, thanks for explaining that. I have only ever followed BaT bidding, which is quite different

The bidding on this one looks odd. Could be I don't understand the way Hemmings works though.

71k the first few hours of listing!!
