Heathen.... You choose that for your 3rd post??? Sheesh... I could afford a Porsche if I wanted one...I drive a Z...

Might not have been the last day...might have been the day prior...

Or how about how mine purchase went down... I set my max bid at $X. Last day of bidding starts with reserve met at $1,000 under $X. A 2nd bidder comes in and starts entering bids...as soon as my reserve is crossed, bidder #2 cancels bid, which seller does not contest and I'm paying my max bid... Guess who bidder #2 might have been. Complained to Ebay and got the generic "we will investigate but due to privacy will not communicate findings"... Lesson, be wary of canceled bids...

RIP 37248...we hardly knew ya...

Diff mount... or... Diff mount...

Maybe you can introduce me...my wife/girlfriend you probably give me a green light if it would reduce the financial commitment ot my Z addiction...(she actually used the words "Z addict" last week...)

You've read it wrong. His daughter is simply a very elaborate stalker and now they have you right where they want you. I'd go into hiding if I were you....

Oh yeah...was pretty sure CB was omnipotent and all-knowing...so why point it out...

My bad...I saw it too...really, really good magazine though. A classic car mag not solely focussed on $1M Ferraris....

That's how you get pink eye....(just watched Knocked Up...)

Always loved Z cars... #1. Bought my first one August 2 years ago on Ebay. The red 1971 240Z (wanted a 1971 as the was the year I was born). Needed more work than anticipated, but had it done (search for the evil Ebay thread...full story posted there). New brakes, new front end components, bit of a touch up to one of the frame rails and she's good to go. Scoots like hell (engine has always run perfectly, fires up every time, even in -15C weather in the garage). Now she's at the point mechanically tight and where she can be driven anywhere and a great 20' car but I need to attack the body / cosmetics (doors, hatch, then to the painters). She's an absolute blast to drive and has been on many a tour (see the galleries) this summer. #2. Left my corporate job (and company car) this January and as part of the exit package I was given a car allowance for 6 months. I did the math, and instead of leasing a car and having nothing to show for it at the end, why not buy another Z? The downside was that it was January and I would have to drive it through the winter...but whatever condition the vehicle was in at the end, it would be essentially a free car...so why not? I found an immaculately maintained 1987 300ZX in Niagara Falls. Mileage was on the high end (215,000 km's) but the vehicle had had all its work done at the dealership and, other than a little bit of a sloppy automatic transmission, was perfect. Got the car, had the tranny rebuilt and she was my daily driver from January until August. She's in good enough shape that I'm likely going to send her to the paint shop as well for a refresh (eliminate rock chips, one small rust spot on rear wheel well). #3. Not much to tell yet as I need to get it picked up in San Diego and brought home. A silver 1977 280Z that will need a little bit of work but seems solid and will make for a neat project (yet another...).

Man does that look like a lot of work...even for a part out, not much there that is relatively clean...

Welcome to the club. Nice to have another Canuck aboard. Nice looking ride.

Nice looking car...remarkable lack of detail in the description though...

Very nice looking ride, welcome to the club... My 280Z won't arrive for a couple of weeks so I can't comment on the originality.

Allright...another Canadian brother...welcome to the club...

unless I'm mistaken, a 12/71 build would definitely be a straight 1972 model year car. congrats on the purchase.

Just pried another one out of Cali....mwahahahahaaa....

We might do ok. I believe the phrase "livin like a bunch of rockstars" was uttered more than once about our group last time I was down. I'll spare you the sordid details...

Fine, you get vice-freak of the year. (But when the annual Z convention hits Vegas, I'm hanging out with you guys...)

Sweet Jesus. Blake for freak of the year...

Might be difficult...rumour has it the car is headed north of the border...

And Newfoundland is known for its bumps...some of them are moose....
