Congrats! We know you have been patiently waiting for a good deal to come along and lets keep our fingers crossed. Most of us North of the border know what it is like to buy with only the pictures provided by the seller to go by. Sure does look pretty in the pictures, but you know they all "need a little work"...famous last words. Gonna be a long 4 weeks. How are you getting it home?

I have arrangements with an open car carrier (truck). It nerves me out a little, but there is no other choice - shipping prices range (that I have checked) from $2500 (+200 fuel surcharge) to $5600. Stings.

I sent the guy a bank draft so I have to wait till it clears befor I firm up anything. Last car I used Paypal - very quick but they charge the seller a percentage + they have some tricky stuff on dollar exchanges and international purchases.

I am hoping it turns out to be as nice as it appears - like I said earlier - a different type of gambling in Nevada.

Hmm..is it roadworthy?

Cost me $800 to get the '77 to the New York border and I brought it across myself. The shipping companies charge an arm and a leg to bring it across the border.

If your interested, get a quote to Chazy, New York and find your way to Montreal. You can crash here and we'll get you across the border. (I can look up the transport company if you need. I used a broker. When I picked it up the transporter said if I ever needed another brought across to call direct and possibly save some cash...fuel has gone up mind you...).

In the end, you'll only save a bit (maybe a few hundred at most), but much more fun...

Hey Micheal - thanks - That is very generous of you. If you could give me the shipping company's name, I might ask them about a couple of scenerios.

The company is called Coastal Express, Inc. toll free # is (800) 720-9194. If that doesn't work try (518) 846-8546. Nice people.

Let me know if you need anything else. Cheers.

great buy, Im half thinking of buying a 240z from the US to bring back to Ireland to have as another project car.

AND

FWIW,

And it comes with a trailer hitch!

Holy high miles batman...although mine could be 270K...who knows...looks to be nicely maintained...was only joking about a 4th Z...almost bought one a month ago...wife was ready to give me the business...and it was just a decent parts car...

Prices have changed significantly - over 2K to Houlton maine - last year I could get from a Z from Redding to Houlton for around 1K.

Spoke to the vendor regarding driving it - He says "I wouldn't ... all the rubber is original other than the tires" I think I will just take the financial kick in the arse and pay right through to the front door ($2740).

For the cars - I wish I lived in California - I would have a fine collection.

Ouch...oh well..you'll be happy when she arrives...

She was picked up by the shipper Tuesday..... only ten more sleeps

*removed hubcaps - shipped in mail

WOW! Just look at how nice that hood lines up! My gal just passed 70k miles yesterday- finally- and the hood is meandering all over the place. I'm jealous.

She looks fantastic, especially the over-riders. And in one of the best colors too.

Great catch Bob. Best of luck with her.
