My $100 Craigslist Series I Earliest Automatic

[Go240Zags]

Good score, glad you were able to jump on it. There is no such thing as Too Many Zs, or is there? .

Man o man...amazing...

BTW...Sailor Bob has a good chunk of ocean in the way 99.9% of the time (I haven't seen many deals pop up on the rock lately).

But I am of the same opinion. See a deal snap it up and figure it out.

Congrats.

Wow! $100 would be great for a complete parts car in general, but for a series one car that is outstanding, and for what is now the earliest automatic with the 2400 valve cover that is incredible. I agree with Carl, it is amazing that some people don't know the value of early Z's and their parts.

I did a similar deal on a roadster last year. Sometimes ya got to get in and drive.

Picking up my 73 on Sat.

Wow, I saw that one on C-List a month or so ago and I live very close. I think they wanted more for it back then so I passed it up...Cuda, wuda shuda!

It looks like it was orange originally and the dash looks like it's not cracked either?

Awesome find!!

It was originally 918 orange. The dash as some small cracks. The car was in Gonzales, Cali. Out in the middle of farm country.

Go240Zags - No you can't have too many Z's! My neighbors may not have that opinion... but no problems with them so far...

Wow!!!! Great find!!!

There are so many diamonds in the rough on Craigslist.

I bought Acura TSX headlights so that I could do the retro-fit in my BMW. I got them for $50.

I got my $2000 BMW door panels for $125!!!!!

Wow!!!! Great find!!!I bought Acura TSX headlights so that I could do the retro-fit in my BMW. I got them for $50.

One question. Why? That doesn't seem right in my book, but to each his own....

I will post the pix of the light output after install when I get home this afternoon. I gained about 300-400% greater light output. The Honda S2000 and Acura TSX have some of the best HID projector outputs of all cars in the world. I now have about a 200ft wide spread instead of 50 ft. The lens itself is the same diameter as my BMW. So I had to gut my BMW assemblies and custom made brackets to fit the Acura ones. I then used the pieces of plastic I cut out with some plastic weld and now they are completely sealed, perfectly level and perfectly aimed. Just like factory.

It is unbelievable and is the single best mod I have done to my car so far!!!! Of course when my pops and I finish building my 2.8L motor (my old one was a 2.5) and get the turbo installed in May, then that will take the vote

[Z Speed]

Wow, you have to post a pic when done. That sounds like a pretty good upgrade. What model BMW? E30? Good luck with it all....

[five&dime]

It is unreal. My pops will tell ya how great it is. You can see pix of my car on his signature links. His name on here is Diseazd.

I took all his pix and the link to the flickr pages are mine. When you go to them, click on my name near the top left or right. I think the name on there is RVAE34. Once you get to my home page, on the right side you will see sets. His Z sets are in there and my BMW E34 pix are about half way down the right side in the sets. You can see all my headlight and other mod pix on the set of pictures called. The light pix are near the end.

Like I said, I will post pix when I get home too just in case you have trouble getting to them

Here is the link to my fathers profile. The flickr photo links are in his signature.

Sorry Kurt for the temp hyjack. Your $100 Series 1 240 is a rare find. Your a lucky man. I would love to come across a find like that. Good luck with the resto....

Brandon, the E34's are great cars. I have a buddy with an E34 M5. The car will last forever if taken car of....
