Ya had me going there for a moment. Didn't see a smilie, so...............I had to ask.

Are you serious, Chris?

Bidding ended at $24.1K with Reserve Not Met. Guess Burt gets to keep it awhile longer.

Phred, anytime you feel like posting knowledge like this to the Tech Articles section, please consider doing so. Stuff like this can help a lot of people (like me) to make wiser choices and fewer mistakes when considering engine build options. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I hope the test is open book.

You need a better class of "friends".

.........and still hasn't reached the RESERVE price!

Still for 280Z. Need AMPS, not VOLTS for a 240Z. Now the page takes 15 minutes to load on a dial-up. :stupid:

Oh, sure Single me out, like no one else was involved (and initmating that I don't fit into the classification of either "Boys" or "Girls"). In case you hadn't noticed, I stopped posting last night, 10 posts ago. (that is, until you started spouting crap!) Just more "Mike B.S." !

Motorsport Auto sells a book on ReUpholstery, also Classic Motor books sells some books that would help you. Motorsport Auto offered Uphostery Book Classic Motorbooks Use their search feature and input the catalog numbers below: Catalog Number 124684 Catalog Number 134569

How about just posting the file as an attachment? PS, this is for 280Z's, since 240Z's have an AMP guage, not a VOLT guage.

I'm talking about the site not being run EXCLUSIVELY for your pleasure. Interesting how ONE thread out of 90,000 gets your shorts all bunched up. Intolerance is an insidious disease! PS If you wish to continue this, send me a PM, & let's let the thread get back to the eBay ad.

Doesn't seem like many people are interested in "discussing" the lame ad. Learning of it's existance, and chuckling over it for a while seems to have satisfied the interest most people have about it. What more is there to discuss about the ad? PS This post is NOT meant in anyway to validate the fact that the "political" discussion took over the thread. I apologize for my part in that. It should have been split off to it's own thread once it got started.

Examine your car, and keep your weatherseals in good shape, replace them when they get rotten, or damaged. This would not be a issue on a well maintained vehicle. FWIW, I had to deal with rusty floor pans due to the P.O. of my car allowing the same problem to ocurr on my car. Won't be happening again on my watch!

.............and the downside of this would be..........?

Choose the threads you are interested in reading/viewing. IGNORE the rest! Want to add value to the knowledge base, PLEASE do so. If you deem another thread as beneath your dignity, or of no interest to you, PLEASE avoid it, and let those who have an interest partisipate. There is no need to foist your opinion of what is of value, to the exclusion of something another member wishes to have a chat about. Live and let live. There are over 90,000 threads to choose from, surely the existance of a handful that are of no interest to you isn't too great a burden for you to tolerate and still remain a member? There are "Australia", "240K", "UK", "Europe", "USA- Central, Eastern, and Western" forums that may have little interest to some people, should they be removed or not allowed and only a "New Zealand" forum be allowed? Intolerance is an insidious disease.

I know of him. Burt Diamond is his name. Never met him, but I have in the past corresponded with him. He seemed like a nice guy, and didn't give the impression of a person who needed to be stroked. I believe (from what 26th-Z has told us about the previous offer to sell) that Burt is conflicted about wanted to keep the car to enjoy himself, and thinking that maybe he should sell it to someone who could enjoy it more than he can.

Not to start this up again, but.......... I agree with everything you say except the first part of the first sentence. That there isn't a right or wrong side in a discussion (that's what we had going) doesn't matter at all. It is through discussion that people actually learn things (any & all people can do this), if/when they "listen" to other, differing views, and use an open mind to think about them. Stephen and I disagree on whether discussion like this belong here. I feel that there is more to each of our lives than Z's. We are all affected by the politics of our government, & it is natural for this subject to be of concern to some people. People in local (brick & morter?) car clubs discuss more that Chebbies, and Fords, engines, and bodywork. Discussions like this exist on other websites and do not detract from the site specific content (Z content). Friends talk about a lot of subjects. Are we to be seen and valued ONLY as "Z information sources" and nothing else? I thought we were friends here. Perhaps the thread should have been split to make it easier for the people who do not wish to partisipate to avoid it. People post about the birth of a child, the illness of a loved one, the passing of a pet without folks bitching and whining about "non Z content", and I think that is fine. I 100% approve of that. As long as there is no name calling, or personal threats, and a modicum of respect afforded to all, I see no reason that discussions like the above should not be allowed to exist (separate forum?) here. Those that don't wish to partisipate should simply choose to not read the posts, & avoid the thread like most of us do the ZX (or "Boob") threads. It should not be expected that every thread is going to please you (or me, or Bill, or Phred, or Will, or Stephen). Pick and Choose. Ahhh, the right to choose, what a concept!

People had the "option" to either say "I wanna buy it", or get told "Get the hell outta the showroom, I got BUYERS over here." In North America, NO "factory" options on any 240Z's. There were some dealer installed (factory authorized) options over the years.

GRRRRRRRR!! Stupid "Reply to Thread" page wouldn't go away after I clicked "Submit", so I kept clicking.

Headlight bucket is the "bowl" that houses the headlight and it's adjustment mechanism. Fender extension is sometimes called a "sugar scoop" for obvious reasons. Also sometimes called a nacelle.(not often around here, but "old school" sportcar people might say that)

I had figured that if "I" was to decide to sell the car, after having cancelled a previous pending sale, I'd first offer it to the same guy since (as the story was told) He wanted it, and I had liked is offer. Rather than deal with eBay again (saving the commission, hassles, etc).

"K" was the code name for the project when these cars were being created(early/mid 80's). It leaked out to the public in the USA, big time because Chrysler was looking for government loan guarentees to help bail out the company. The had been asleep at the wheel while the japanese automakers had increased market share and cleaned their clocks.

Since it's on eBay I guess we can we assume that the person who wanted to buy it last time no longer wishes to buy it. Wonder if it will fetch the same $$.........(at $22,850 now) It is a beautiful car.
