Agreed

Bambikiller that is a beautiful gray. What color eyes does he have? Are they green or yellow?

Very good, too funny!

Unfreakinbelieveable! The automotive market has truly sunk to a new low. The sad thing is that someone will actually buy that and put it on their car.:tapemouth

I'm reaching here, but I'll say... to note that it's a metric bolt.

Thanks for posting that link Gav240z. I see fault on both sides. I would never by a car over the internet without checking it out myself. Big mistake. As far as the seller, IMO he knew exactly what he was selling and if he claims he didn't know about the engine, then he's running a pretty lame business.

Our Z cars originally have one drive wheel. I've installed the MSA limited slip differential on my 77 280Z. It seems that when I punch it both wheels grab, like a posi rear would do. I know what limited slip is but would like a professional explaination as to how this type chunk works. thxz

I can't believe that they actually add these types of words to the dictionary. I rememeber when they used to say "ain't" wasn't in the dictionary. A "turntablist", now that's funny.

Where can I find this info you guys are talking about on this "Original 240Z" with an L28?:stupid:

We have taken the FR 1972 240Z to a few AACA shows around Florida and have won in our class. However, some of these shows can be quite snobby which is really not my style. These shows have the cream of the crop when it comes to fine automobiles. Here in Florida the AACA in my area really appreciates the Z car since they agree that most have been sacrificed to the rust god.

Yes I get condesation under the covers, but it does dry up and hasn't affected my covers (yet). The real pain is when it rains and you get water under there and you have to remove them to wipe off the headlight buckets. I try and not get caught in the rain but sometimes it does happen.

Like I said previously, one of the two cars used in that movie was at a local show here. The car is actually gutted because John Candy was such a big man. It's also not in the best shape but the guy thinks that because it was in a movie he can get bucu bucks for it. He was asking $60,000! I laughed and walked away.

I too thought that looked like a Z-Ferrari conversion. The give-a-way IS the window. They really don't give you enough time to check out the car. Doesn't it also show Tom Cruise driving a killer 'stang too? Freaky deaky movie

I agree with kyteler that the Z'X" stands for luXury. But to me, it stands for "X"-tra crap that you really don't need in a true sports car! Just something else (electrical) to break down and give you a major headache.:mad:

Yes and just about every other car made in the 70's. You know how many lighters I lost through the hole in my Mustangs floor boards.

An excellent shop in Clearwater Florida is Dwan's Automotive Machine, Inc., 727-573-0944. They know Zcars and can do it all. CK-10 Honing, Align Honing, Balancing, Head Service, Crankshaft Grinding and Dyno Service. Ask for Dwan Brock. "We Know High Performance & Economy". That is their motto. I was very pleased with the service and the turn-a-round time.

[What kind of car did John Candy drive in SoapDish?] I know John Candy drove a 280Z converted to a Ferrari in "Delirious". Matter of fact, the guy that owns one of the two that were made for the movie lives a few cities up from me. Saw the car at a show last year and he wanted $60,000 for the car! [More often than not, what was the worst enemy of your 240Z?] The posted speed limit of 55mph!

[What the factory measured coeficient of aeordynamic drag for an S30 is?] What is the answer to that question?

What a coincidence, mine seems to be stuck at 4:20 also.

Kind of a personal question, don't ya think.

I kept the original seats in my 77 280Z but had them re-stuffed and covered. They are so comfortably now and I don't slide all over the place. I like the look of the Z seat and wanted to keep the style but have a little more padding around my azz.

These people probably have no interest in the car. They just want your valid international money order. This is the old "Pigeon Drop" scam. Beware

Isn't it called "The International Space Station"?

That is truly a beautiful GTO. Man-o-man would I love to own something like that. That's the type car you see at the World of Wheels shows. Even for all the "show and glow" that car has, I think the price is a bit high.

If anyone out there has an owners manual for a 1977 280Z, can you look up what the gas milage should be. I'm getting a little less than 10 mpg, but my car is not stock. Thanks:classic:
