The sad story is, that most wreckers can get a quick buck for the scrap metal value of the car, rather than having it take up space in their yard, and not making any money off it, as the demand for parts isnt that great. They could replace it with a wreck thats going to generate more income. I know a guy that saw 2 of them crushed at a scrap metal yard.

Wow, that is expensive though.

Looks good. You really cant tell how bad the rust is from a couple of photos. It has rust in the usual places, but that may be the only places it has rust. You wont know untill you strip the car. Just because there is a little rust doesnt mean its all rusty. My 240z had rust in the rear doglegs, and front of the sills too, but has the most solid rust free floors that you could hope for. Its been repainted though, so that can hide alot of the problems. You'd really want to inspect it in person for that much money, or at least get the owner to send you photos of the floors from inside and out and take a chance.

No time to work on it. Decided to pull it apart for a quick restoration. Got a fulltime job, and a girlfriend, 6 months after tearing it apart, and 3 years later, its still in a million pieces.

Its fixable, just depends on whether you want to spend the money or not. 26th's #27 was alot worse than that.

I'm surprised there hasnt been a rap version of the US anthem yet. Or maybe there was and it didnt make the news down under, like that chick that was singing the US national anthem at a ice hocky game (I think it was), and forgot the words. Is it true that the US nation anthem has to be sung/played before every concert or sports event? I remember that an irish singer in the 80's or 90's didnt want it sung before her concert and caused some sort of commotion about it.

There are 2 original 2000GT convertables, so yes i suppose they are rare. They were made for the bond movie You Only Live Twice. One is displayed at Toyota's museum while the other is in a private collection.

This any good to ya? Caclulates power based on car weight, time, and ingnition signals from the engine. http://www.charm.net/~mchaney/homedyno/dynokit.htm

Can you hum a few bars? Seems like your not the only one looking for that song: http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:f4w4eC0qqbIJ:www.kissthisguy.com/discuss/viewtopic.php%3Fp%3D8963%26sid%3D7ecdb0df1de87e6a2474e9af01be112f+%22She%27s+my+woman+and+I%22+ain%27t+gonna+let+her+go+song&hl=en&gl=au&ct=clnk&cd=1 Is it for a radio competiton or something? What do you win? I searched google, but didn't come up with a definitive answer. Just stuff form 60's-70's

-$1000 If its very rusty.

Between 2 and 6 grand i'd say. Need more details, photos to be more specific.

Did you get the chassis number off it? would like to add it to the register of 240/260's

When did the S30 get hood vents? I thought it was late 76 or early 77? which would explain why that car doesnt have them. Here in Australia most 260's dont have vents. (note: we got the 260z from 74 to 77, so a 77 260z in Aus is pretty much a the same as a 280z in the US, but with the more powerfull L26 than the US L26, instead of the fi L28. I think only the 76 and 77 had vents).

Kiwi ZX, I dont think Americans are particulary concerned with resale values of zeds, when they do this to them. They got so many of them, they arent exactly rare or expensive to buy. Have you seen how cheap they are over there?

Question was: "Who can guess what this is? " No correct answers yet. hls30 almost got it right with his answer: "A picture of a car". But I believe the correct answer to the question "Who can guess what this is?" is "everyone can". Would also accept "anyone can", or "I can" as the correct answer. Case closed. Lets get on with talking about Z cars.

So what sort of things would people actually want their Z car to say to them?

Ok. I re-read your post, and am not sure what you mean. Are you talking about replacing the front metal guards with FG guards. If so, nothing needs doing, and it wont weaken the car structuraly.

go over to hybrid z there is an excellent post in the bodykits an paint section about fitting zg flares, and has all the gory photos of somone chopping up a z to get the extra clearance for the wide mags on a lowered car. Heres the link: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=113064

Yeah those wheels are ugly. Nice set of wat's on it and it would be perfect.

Sold outside of ebay then I guess. How much of the roof do you need? If you are just replacing a roof because of a sunroof, I'd just remove the roof panel and weld on a new one. No need to remove the under lying structural turret. Just drill out the spot welds. Saves you alot of work because you can just spot weld on the donor roof panel like they did at the factory, and you dont potentially weaken the car, because you havent cut the structural part off.

[i guess there will be no rolling on the floor laughing, as the damn smilie emoticon code isnt working.]

Here you go: $1.00 http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180011567273 If you email him quickly you might get it before it goes to the crusher. I have a roof, but its cut off a couple of inches down from the roof.

Throwing out K parts? Have you gone mad Lachlan? I saw them, but i couldnt quite work out what they were exactly, whether they were for a sedan or hardtop, and if so were they the inner or outer. If you want to see some ebay madness, there was a 1600 dash panel with gauges that sold for over $1000. Link was on ozdat. I'll find it later and update this post.

Ah, thats much better.
