zhead240

my favorite color. look's great. good luck.

built date-73 model date on ownership. got some spare parts-wire harness and shock arms he held back the tr250-6 electrical handbook and the factory shop manual. i thought they came with the car. on one of his receipts was the two manuels and the price that he paid $55 and $60 he'll sell them to me for cost no taxes. should i get them?? pic of the arms

i hear california is on fire. any your way? get a fire extinguisher for the zed.

the wife wants me to drop an automatic in it. hehehehehe she's a funny f*cker.

the tires are brand new, still has the little rubber wiskers on ithem, will need a new top eventually

i bought a 73 tr6. driver- 10 footer - needs tlc a price i couldn't refuse. $3500 not bad for rust either. drove it home and it purred like a kitten. has O D mileage unknown pics look better than it is but after i washed the dust off not too shaby don't worry, the zed is still my baby and won't go neglected.

to all our fellow americans. have a safe holiday. arrive alive-don't drink and drive. fire up the BBQ and have a few cold ones.

the biggest enemy of the dash if the uv sun rays. it will deteriorate the vinyl. although my dash is in perfect condition i got a rug cover on ebay cheap and use it. your sun shield will protect when parked but while driveing the dash is exposed to uv rays. to hold in place i use these clips with magnets.

check out the z car home page. it will guide u on what to look for when buying a zed. plus a whole lot more info.

i'm guessing ATF means automatic tranny fluid , but what does IIRC stand for?

replacing power steering lines on wife's mustang. it was leaking red fluid which i presume is transmission fluid. should i replace with power steering fluid or should i use tranny fluid that was in it to start with? thankyou very much in advance.

not only a great comic, he was also part of the hippie drug culture back then.(hippie dippie weatherman )

oh yea, here's a pic of my ship

been sailing the great lakes on a commercial fishing tug since 1981. boy time flys when your getting seasick. the hours can be long and somedays u make a pay and some day u don't. work on shares, no fish no money. it's not all honey. the pension is a hardy handshake and a fine farewell. can't complain though, i've been able to save enough to by a beautiful zed. ps only sailors get blown off shore.

looks like u have a lot of work ahead of u. good luck.

your right steve- i saw them on ebay too.

so the auction was real???

i emailed seller and asked for the vin #. he responded at 8;12 am this morning (45 minutes before auction ended) . the vin # is HLS-60354, # 31 of 37. there was no 30 after the S.

considering this auction. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=015&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=250242725792&rd=1

how come the hubcap centres are blue? did u do that?

would this be a vinage fob from the era or an aftermarket fob?

i got 26mpg hiway.(4.5 litre gallon) the #s i see here are like hummer mileage.( 12,13mpg) for a vehicle that wieghs only 2400lbs you'd expect over 30mpg. my brother-in-law has a 95 eldorado and he claims 28mpg hiway. don't make sense.

could this be caused by fan clutch leak? i did a search and tested fan with cardboard and it stopped fan, thus not siezed. when rev engine there's not a whirlwind of noise or wind. i'm thinking fan clutch is ok. i noticed last fall just before i put in storage that there was specks of oil on underside of hood but not there everytime i drove it. i put cardboard under car during storage and no leaks. doesn't use oil.( although hard to tell because i change oil once a year before i put it away and drive under 2000 miles pure season.) never have to add oil. i can't recall if this gunge was on the motor when i bought it or if it's gradually accumulated over the last 3 summers. tiv
