zhead240

i sure do!!! my zed came from maine,(originally form californiia) right in your back yard.

many years ago i bought gas and only got 1/2 mile down the street and car quite and wouldn't start. had it towed and the cause was water in gas. i went to the gas bar and complained but they told me to prove they were responsible. fortunately a friend of my parents worked for the goverment that had something to do with different types of fuel storage and regulations. he had one of his workers go dip their tanks (underground) and sure enough they had water in their tanks. they had to pay for my cost of emptying tank, tow and fuel. i don't know if it's just a coincidence that it happened just after u got gas or not but bad gas was my first thought.

welcome aboard. post some pics when u get time.

report by b. mitchell carlson 1973 datsun 240z coupe. s/n hls3077430. orange/black vinyl & cloth. odo: 131,463. presentable older repaint with a smattering of touch-up nicks.small paint crack forming in the middle of rear hatch below latch release. original bumper chrome weak and dinged, light remenants of overspray on under-carriage. aftermarket performance open-styule dual air cleaners and spark plug wires,70's vintage indash marantz am/fm/cassette deck, heavily worn vents in dash. correctly reupholstered seats with little wear, door panels have some light warping. cond: 3-. not sold at $7000. rerun on sunday, a no-sale at $7500. the excitement about first-generation Z-cars of a few years age has cooled down quite a bit since, and while this was a generally decent example, it was a long way from being worth the $12k reserve. either offer was repectable if not somewhat generous.

will do. when they win the cup have little brother bring it out to the farm. take lots of pics and post here.

i like that they showed pics of the undercarridge. very few sellers make this effort.

habs have won more but are consided quebec's (french) team. toronto is canada's team. liken to dallas being american's team.

the leafs are the yankees of the hockey world. tampa, hurricanes, stars, ducks have all won before the leafs. poorly managed. a ship without a rudder.

the mighty leafs have been eleminated from the playoffs for another year. leaf nation has suffered for forthy years and no end in site. for our U S members, this is comparible to the long suffering cubs fans. i've always been a true blue leaf fan since chilhood. my father was a leaf fan so naturally i am too. at least i can remember fondly the heydays back in the 60's when they won 4 cups in 5 years. the playoffs are not the same without them.

12 mpg!! sounds like u got a hole in your gas tank. that's hummer mileage.

sorry for your loss. they become part of the family.

u just missed one on ebay. it was owned by a fellow member and sold for $11K. no guarantee u would have won at this price as the other bidder(s) might leapfrog u. the consensus here was that it was a very good deal for the price.

i recognize that auction from a while back. same description and pics. i thought it sold but i could be wrong. (possible a dead beat bidder)

this is hat came with my zed. it's just an aluminum flat bar.

allrightythen. nice score! only 50 prints, it must be worth a pretty penny.

any fellow members nearby to check this out? odd that there's no pics or price. http://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/carsforsale/datsun/240z/621212.html

drink lots of green beer, but don't over do it. the day after has it's consequences.

i don't know how u can sleep at nite. ps-great score:bandit:

welcome aboard. hey, if you're lookng for a fender there's one on ebay now. (no affiliation)

they sure grow'em big in texas

he recommends not letting tank to get below 1/2 because of the air space in tank. thus evaporation. i interpret this as loss of fumes while cap is on.

we have mandatory emmision tests every two years. one test is for leaks in gas cap and tank. thus loss by evaporation is not possible. correct me if i'm wrong.

welcome aboard. take dave with u. post some pics if u can. brake cables come up an ebay every so often.

if u go with the auction site, time it so it ends on sunday nite when most people are home and can monitor the sale.

not a pretty sight. only 12 days till spring.
