Yes, I want to get rid of the rolling body. The wheels and tires are worth much more than the body I'd believe. Is five hundred dollars a reasonable number? Though there is some serious rust on the car, the frame rails and floor pans are new.

There are photos in my User Gallery. I'm selling the black car. There are pictures of the condition. Though the car is taken apart, all the body panels are included. The photos on this site are from various stages of my ownership.

Hi, My name is Dan Wetmore. I've been a member of this site for about four years; around the time I purchased my first 240z. It was also around that time that I started a band. Back then I didn't know exactly where my life would go; Z or band? I've been very fortunate in the past few years and my band is doing things that I could have never imagined. This is very unfortunate for my Z car, however and I need to sell the poor girl. It's a well rusted 1973 240z taken pretty much all apart. It rolls on some pretty darn expensive Compomotive ML wheels, but that's about all I can offer. I really need the space that the body takes up. What should I ask for the body and wheels? $500? $250? I'd just like to know what people think. I really need to get rid of this car. I really miss having time for my cars, but I suppose that's how life goes.

Oh boy, that van/suv in the pool is crazy, how do you mess up that bad?

Ouch, that really sucks. I'm sorry ed. Just keep in mind, you have such a beautiful car, it's going to be well worth taking care of. Just like fixing a brand new car. Good luck.

Merry Christmas friends. Hope everyone has a relaxing time and eats alot!

I need the chrome as well. I'm able to get my current plastic looking pretty good.

I use premium. I guess that's because it has the extra octane that the lead once offered. I never worry about the valve faces, they're pretty far gone, I don't know if there is much that I can do about helping that. I have never tried regular though, maybe it would run just as well. In my earlier post I was taking about putting regular in the family maxima.

For thanksgiving we always go down to NC. Whille passing through Virgina we got some regular for $1.90, no joke. No problems with quality, good power, no knocking. Ha, I think the station was a Kangaroo. Never heard of that before. But yeah, $1.90 nonetheless.

How far is scranton from pittsburgh?

Ugh! Taking off the front cover! I dropped the chain when I was changing the head awhile ago. I was praying that I didn't have to take it all apart, but Ed and some others set me straight. Atleast when it all comes back together, it's clean! I don't think taking off the oil pan would work, way too much stuff in the way. Have fun!

Yeah that's a great idea, the ones off of my cars are pretty badly rusted inside. I'm eventually having them re-chromed, should I still consider painting the backsides then?

Wow, that's purdy.

Sorry, this is a little off topic, but does anyone here have 72 or 73 radios? I don't really care if they work or not, just have a decent face plate. Both of my cars are missing the original units and I want em!

I'm pretty sure they can leak. Mine were a mess to deal with. Just make sure that everything's tight. I know that on mine, I was missing a few of the auxillary venturi retaining screws. I think if there's too much pressure, gas can leak for anywhere. Just a guess.

I'm not really sure why the oll would be thinner, but if it kinda smells like gas, I'd just assume that that's what it is. I don't know if this would cause that problem you talk about, but on my car (with a very similar carb/cam setup) the electronic fuel pump, pumped wayy too much fuel into the carbs, resulting is gas in the combustion chambers. Maybe the gas is somehow leaking past the rings into the oil. The best guess I can make, is that it's the carbs or the pump. Hope this helps
