This '73 240 for sale in Reno, NV looks to be grossly under-priced. If this were on Ebay, the bidding would just begin at what they are asking! So for you members near Reno and Northern California, you may want to check this one out. Here's the link: http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail.jsp?tracktype=usedcc&searchType=25&paId=187161334&pageNumber=0&numResultsPerPage=50&largeNumResultsPerPage=0&sortorder=descending&sortfield=PRICE+descending&certifiedOnly=false&recnum=18&leadExists=true&criteria=K-%7CE-ALL%7CM-_65_%7CH-%7CD-_2998_%7CN-N%7CR-10000%7CI-1%7CP-PRICE+descending%7CQ-descending%7CX-antique%7CZ-80202&aff=denver

I was scrounging parts off my parts car and decided to take the cowl panel and the wiper motor off before they get stolen. Thought I might clean up the wiper motor and assemblies to put on my recently painted stock restoration '72. Just a perfect October Texas day with nothing else to do, I took the wiper motor and hooked it up to my '73 driver to see If it was in working order. No such luck! Well, I had nothing else to do, so I grabbed some tools and went to work. I'm no genius, and not an electical wizz, but with a 7ml and 8ml hard wrenches, some dental floss, and some axle grease, I had that wiper motor working perfectly in an hour. This process is so simple, you h…

just want to post a pic of my current project car. this is only my second foray into the Z car world. a brief history is in order: the car belonged to my honey's dad. she also had a Z (her first car) that she ended up having to sell a couple years ago for reliability, and monetary, reasons. she was very, very sad to let her Z go but after working on it for her, it was for the best. the car was cancerous and had subframe damage, the $hi+ to worth ratio was way upside down. for her birthday last year, i got with her dad and got her this car which had been sitting for 12+ years (he had been keeping it for sentimental reasons, and to pass on to either of his kids who…
