   I ordered a lower-left-rear fender patch panel from MSA back in March of 05. They told me a month later it was out of stock. Yesterday, 1 year and 4 months later they decided to call me and tell me that they would not be able to fill the order. Crazy stuff.:stupid:

   280z 1 2

   Hi All, I've been lurking on this board for a few months now and I am ready to take the plunge and pick up a 240 0r 280. I am looking at a 78 280Z that seems to be in good condition. The car is 5000 miles away so I will have to get a certified inspector/appraisor to check it out for me. The seller states that the car has less than 40,000 original miles. I'm hard pressed to believe that is true but after looking at the pictures he provided it may be true. I have two questions that I would like to see if you guys can help me with. 1. What should I expect to pay for a clean unmolested 280Z? 2. Does anyone know if the 78 model met the 50 state standard for emissions? Thank yo…

    Hello there. I am wanting to know about the gearbox known as the FS5C71A. I know it was introduced in the Roadster 2000, in about 1967. It known to have a 3 piece case with a stright stick. It had a variant, same numbers except the C was a W (FS5W71A) which had the weaker warner style brass syncros (instead of servo style steel syncros). I thought this box would be rare, but I believe it was original equipment on the 1969-1971 240Z as well? This is where I need confirmation from a "Z head" as you like to refer to yourselves!!! Is it true? I also heard that the 1972-1976 240Z had the next evolution, the FS5C71B which differed in that it had a 2 piece case and a bent stick.…
