Ricklandia Posted April 3, 2005 Share #1 Posted April 3, 2005 After nearly 2 weeks in transit, my new "baby" finally arrived to much fanfare! Okay, not alot of fanfare, but we're all excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DatsunZsRule Posted April 3, 2005 Share #2 Posted April 3, 2005 Congratulations man. I bet you must be excited That brings back memories for me when I first got mine. I live in MN. and bought my baby down in AZ. and she rode all the way from Arizona to me in Minnesota and rode on a truck just like yours did. Words can't explain how HAPPY I was when I first saw her IN PERSON. I just got her out of storage today. She's been waiting patiently all winter long Here is a picture of my baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricklandia Posted April 3, 2005 Author Share #5 Posted April 3, 2005 Started to examine the car this morning when I ran across this "mystery" switch. It's located on the center console, it's a momentary toggle (left/right or up/down depending on how it's oriented). At first I figured it must be some kindo of add on switch as it does nothing that I can tell, however when I looked at the bezel/faceplate of the switch, it looks strickingly like something from the factory. Any idea what this might be? I havent had a chance to start tracing it's wiring, probably wont for a while but I thought if it's factor someone might know. My old 260 never had anything like that, no have I seen anyone else have one. One note: THe PO put a stereo EQ in the car years ago, tucked under the original radio position, but in front of the Choke/rear defroster panel. Could it have been there originially? And if so, what is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fun_in_my_z Posted April 3, 2005 Share #6 Posted April 3, 2005 electris mirrer switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricklandia Posted April 3, 2005 Author Share #7 Posted April 3, 2005 I thought that too, at first, but it only goes bidirectionally (left/right or up/down depending on how you physically orient the switch). You can see what I mean by looking at the two arrows on the bevel - I dont know the correct orientation. The mirrors on the car, although not original, are definitely not electric.

Ricklandia Posted April 3, 2005 Author Share #9 Posted April 3, 2005 Thx Alex. I was out this morning looking some more. I think that might be what it is, although I doesn't seem to work. Oh the fun of exploring a "new" car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zrush Posted April 3, 2005 Share #10 Posted April 3, 2005 She's a beauty Rick, congratulations! Where is Weston Florida?Vicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricklandia Posted April 3, 2005 Author Share #11 Posted April 3, 2005 Many thanks, I just uploaded some new photos into my Gallery after I gave her a bath from the long trip. The PO kept everything, original owners manual, even the dealer sales broghure. Even has a maintanence logbook. Weston is as far west Ft. Lauderdale as you can get before you are in the Everglades. It sits right at the corner of where I-75 turns west to head towards Naples, and where I-595 begins. It's about 4 hours from Tampa. It's nice to meet fellow Floridians, it is a rare site to see a 240 on this side of the state. Dunno why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
