maybe its just me but....
I think you do know the reason. The car is not only newer, but was sold new for a lot more, thus it was always "worth" more. Just because it doesn't look as nice doesn't mean it shouldn't be worth as much... or else Rolls-Royces would be as common as Commodores. Alan, I see that yes that is when the Z was introduced so it should be compared with the 911 of the same year, but this was when the Porsche was at the end of its life-cycle (as I'm sure you know). For others, Porsche improved their car majorly in the early 1970s - the 1974 911 is a LOT different to the 1969 911. I just think it's a bit of a wobbly comparison seeing as the two cars weren't both in the market for very long... but yes it is a fairer comparison than to a 1982 911SC Targa!!! As for 911's getting worse looking in the 70s and 80s... have a look at the Z cars.......................... Oh and to be fair, the Targa 911 isn't exactly the best looking one, and nor is that colour...... like Alan said it's not just about static looks. (picking fights) Lachlan

Kart Racing
Got a towbar? A trailer? Those are some things I'd like... Yeh, I have a go-kart, J-class or clubman I forgot... but I only drive it down the road occasionally :stupid: LOL it's very, very fun. But only do it if you're indestructable, like me, hey Rick? :sleepy: Yeah, I guess it does kinda defeat the purpose... Are you near a track? That helps too! Oh and if you get a friend to buy one too, you'll have 10x the fun.

240/260z Magazine articles
Hi Sorry but I don't really collect articles about the 260! This one might be a bit interesting though... Sports Car World July/September 1982, it has a great article about the 280ZX, which is then followed by the history of "the fast ladies", goes into a bit of detail about each model, but is more interesting than factual about the 260Z... If you keep an eye out on ebay they often pop up

Painted shell
Is this the most true-to-reality photo of the colour? Doesn't look too bad!! Now, it makes sense that there would be no antenna but I didn't think they would have filled up the hole... I guess they did !

What? does a Z31 turbo v6 bolt into a 70-78 tranny?
I don't know how it would be true, they're a totally different KIND of engine.............. Would be very surprised if it just bolted in!

Insurance rates
Oh, well I was resisting having a brag, but since you've gone and started................... 1971 240Z manual for a 17 year old with no prior driving experience, comprehensive cover up to a value of $5000AU (they wouldn't insure for any value over that) was just over $400AU a year, driving any amount of km's. Suncorp Metway I was with :classic:
