A beeper that sounds like "In 5 seconds this car will self destruct"LOL

Here in Florida at alot of the car shows, they have vendors that sell the vintage plates. I've seen them on alot of very old show cars, like from the 30's & 40's. I do believe in Florida the car has to be at least 20 years old in order to put a vintage plate on. It would be cool to find the year AND state for our Z cars. Most of those old vintage plates are as ugly as the cars there on, but that's vintage I guess.

Be prepared. You've been warned about "Pippa" They really don't show to much of him/her (thank God) but when they do, it's, well, it's, I really don't know what to say.

Yes, I too was stoped in my tracks on that one. Very touching. I always kinda though Jesse was sort of an S.O.B., but he proved me wrong last night.

Was that a real wooden leg? I thought it was a tatoo. Honestly, I didn't want to look to hard at it, as I was having dinner at the time.

I also see this with my 72 240Z that's Lime Green. In the bright sunshine it's eye blinding fluorescent yellow, but in overcast weather or dim lighting it's bile green. I always hope for sunny days with that car as the bile green is just awful.

Did anyone watch last nights show. Pretty cool conversion, bummer about the tranny blowing out. Who/What was the he/she.....Pippa I think its name was. Now that just freaked me out. :sick: I'll take that Lambo that Jesse drove off in.

that's for the wiper wind drag excuse. that's for the windshield scrape. Still quite an impressive set up.

I too thought the "X" was for luXury. That version of the Zcar has all the creature comforts of New Yorks old Studio 54 Disco.

Yes, I think you are correct on the '69 headlights. That is my favorite year Mustang. I always thought that made the car look mean. Thanks for the info 240ZX.:classic:

I've heard that American Hot Rod is good. But we see those types of cars all over Florida at the shows. That Southern Chopper show, was that guy from Tampa? One of the Hot Rod big shots down here is now into the "West Coast Chopper" type bikes. I guess that's the new scene. His shop, if I'm not mistaken is called Southside Choppers. Nice bikes but I think I'll stick to having 4 wheels on the pavement (sometimes):cheeky:

I guess you need all that power to push your car because of your un-aerodynamic wiper bladeLOL Just kidding, of course. Super sweet set-up, I like.:classic:

I'm inLOL but first I need rails around it if I'm gonna race or else I'll be taking a dip in the drinkROFL

If I'm thinking correctly the 69-70 Mustangs look the same. In 1971 they changed the body. Then in 1974 they went to the Mustang II. What a sorry excuse for a Mustang, IMO.

I liked the show that had the combination dragster/hotdog vendor. Funny as hell when they ran the car down the strip and the hotdog umbrella flew off. Also, when they stuck the hotdogs in the open headers and they flew out when he punched the gasROFL Too funny

Here's the scenario: You go to your local store or where ever your going, look pissed, shut off the car, open the hood, pull the coil wire (put it in you pocket or something), shut the hood and storm into the store. This makes anyone watching you (as most car theifs do) think your wicked pissed off that your car just broke down and won't even attemp to take your "Out of Order" Z. (Sorry, no real value to the serious theft deterrent questions)

I thought that only happened in the MoviesLOL That would scare the s*** out of me (the first time).

Witnesses to the tragic race say the Camaro driver was starting off from the green light. The Corvette driver cut off the witnesses to drag the Camaro. So the Corvette driver was the instigator, but the Camaro driver should have left it alone. The newspaper never mentioned anything about the what happened to the Corvette driver. I expect he saw the accident in his rear view mirror and high-tailed it out of there and was long gone. To me, he's just as responsible for the deaths as the Camaro driver. These types continue to do this until they kill themselves.

Scored a 16. Nice to wake up and see this first thing in the a.m.. It's truley going to be a good day! Got to go, time to take zrush to a car show and a nice cruise:classic: :classic: :classic:

That's a great deal. Why so cheap for what appears to be a very clean car?:classic: My brother has an 87, same color also. I'm fairly new to this site but have been around early generation Z cars for a long time. Welcome back......and again great deal you got there.

Victor That's excellent!!! I'm glad the Z only has minor damage, by that I mean, not dented up or for that matter wrecked. I just typed you this morning saying your car will be returned to you. (Now I'm saying I will win the lottery tonite, ha, ha, I wish). No really, the power of all the positive hope by your friends on this site must have had something to do with the return of your yellow pride and joy. What a great ending to such a terrible event. GLAD IT'S BACK!! Scott

Victor The guy who stole your beloved Z is now starting to surface. Criminals are to dumb to lay low. He will continue to try an attempt to cash your checks and he WILL be caught! I believe that your Z will be found and it will be returned to you. Keep the (Z) Faith. Your phone will ring with the good news my friend.

I agree with kyteler, It's a shame you want to part the car out. An early gen Z car that isn't a basket case as far as the body is concerned, is a rare find. It's too bad you don't live closer to Florida, I have a 78 280Z with a good motor, trans. and R200 rear. If you are interested in these parts , send me a message. The only thing that I would do to the motor is a quick re-build on it, just to re-fresh it. It's an EFI and the harness is OK but might want to change injector ends. Kinda a cheap repair. Real sorry to hear about your loss,but don't give up just yet there might be some others that could help out. Just hate like hell to see the car laid to rest.

I believe that some cars are a good investment. I wouldn't pay $100,000+ for ANY Dodge Viper. For a classic Hemi powered Super Bee, Charger or Road Runner, yes. I think it would be fun to strut around there like I had all kinds of bucks and just dream of being able to bid on something there. Instead I crawl though mounds of junk cars at the bone yard to find my Z parts.
