Zed Head- Amen

Sorry, meant immaturity

No, that's the material it was printed on. Why would you offer a product that is CLEARLY - no pun intended - not accurate? But more to the point, why would such a product be offered for sale? Another reflection - yes, pun intended - of the immunity of our hobby.

That's not one of my paint color # decals - too shiny.

RE white 73 - can't say positively but it doesn't appear to have a V-3 kit. Also, whoever replaced the gas tank vent hoses cheaped it out by reusing those cracked vent hose boots. I just hope!!! that the replacement hoses are speced for use with gas/gas fumes. The first 73 that the dealer I was working for in 73 was sold to a Redskins player as a promotion. Got towed back two nights in a row. Too long a story for this venue but the V-3 kit resulted directly from that episode.

As one of the "old timers" who has restored to stock his share over the years - rooms, mine and those of my customers, full of first place trophies - and was a very early parts supplier to the owner of some Nissan/Renault dealerships in that part of the world I'm a bit scared to comment, might lose my head!! DC871F - Thank you. Somehow I'll squeeze your award into that room full of 1st place trophies

OUCH!! More later but I have to get my Saab ready for the trip - weather permitting - to Hershey.

Thank you Roo - I'll have more to say on this subject after I've had a chance to collect my thoughts.

I found it interesting that the company selling the Fairlady often presents very notable muscle cars, ie COPO GM products, early Z-28s, etc. that are truly outstanding examples. However, in the case in question their rep took a hit. Just one old geezers opinion.

Zed Head - glad you called our/my attention to that strut rod as the large washer is installed backwards! Paul, that is Paul Taylor, was the owner of the Franklin Mint car before he died and his Z went to the dark side.

As I've said at least twice in the recent past - the upper middle class collector car market is, and has been for at least the past year, depressed.

Paul's car is for sale AGAIN!

It's worth what someone is willing to pay for it. However, the main problem with what the current market is willing to pay is the color change, never a good idea. Also, there are a few body/paint issues that the listing details. The old market might have been willing to pay as much as - my opinion - 80k but the current market did indeed speak. The upper middle class collector car market is keeping their powder dry.

Not in the current climate. See my comment above.

Excellent example of what I've been calling for the past 12-14 months the "Depressed upper middle class collector car market".
