I agree about getting a car to drive, and would look at this car as a nice opportunity for someone that wants to buy a new car, but doesn't like whats available on the market today for selection in the under $30K price range. Guessing that the owner may want to get $25K out if it, at that price its still a lot less expensive than many new cars today, and if it really has only 5K miles it has less than that is less than some new dealer 'demo' cars have today!

You can also try MGB wheels, as they will fit as well.

Did you actually change the fuses to make sure they were good? In my case, the fuse looked good, but apparently it was not because when I changed it, everything worked again. Then when I examined the fuse closely, I saw that it had burned out right near the end, which was hidden under the metal caps at the end. I always recommend trying the simplest things first (i.e. change the fuse even if it looks good) before ripping everything apart. However, as mriz stated, if replacing the fuse makes no difference, next check would be a dirty or loose connection.

My Georgia plate says 240ZED :-)

Not sure if you have the same fuse set up as my '73 240Z, but the same fuse for the tailights is the fuse for the interior lights. IIRC, the fuse is not labeled as such, but when mine went, I did not have rear tailights (brake lights still worked) or interior lights. Also, the fuse looked good, but when I replaced it, all the lights worked fine. Also IIRC, the fuse is on the right side of the fuse panel, and was the 2nd or 3rd from the top.

My favorite view of the Z is sitting in the drivers seat looking out over the awesome hood/front fender design. :-)

Question -- are those Panaports on the red Z car (in front of your car)? Also, what size are they?

Here is a picture of the AC installation on my '73.

As for the market price of a nice 240Z, I have seen a couple of very nice ones sell for $13K and $19.5K recently. That being said, I personally think you should keep it, as I don't think you'll end up saving very much on gas costs by switching to a different car, as you would really need to get some very, very high mpg in order to really save any significant $$$. Finally, while you may make some profit on the car you sell now, you will definately lose it and end up paying more when you 'buy back in'.
