Wish I lived near Los Angels - Nice 240Z in West Covina

[Hardway]

I talked to the owner and got some more pics as I seriously considered flying out this weekend to look at it. However with a $500 flight and $1000+ in shipping back to TX I am just not in a position to pick this one up so I thought I would post it up here. Has a aftermarket AC, newer paint, alum. radiator, a high quality driver piece. Looks to be worth every bit of $7K

I want a 240z so bad and Texas offers nothing at reasonable prices. Contrary to popular belief, all cars here are just as rusty as just about everywhere else. I missed out on a nice 240z in Houston because I just could not get out there from Austin fast enough. I could literally start a business by picking up classic cars in CA, bringing them to TX, and flipping them. Maybe I should!

Take the train out (see some country) and drive it back.

Shpipping from Cali to Texas shouln't be that much? I recently had a car shipped fom Vegas to northern Montana on the Canadian boarder for $1000.00 check with National transport LLC they have a calculator on their web site. It worked for me.

Southwest Airlines- Austin to Burbank= $300.

Fuel $400.

3 nights lodging $150.

Slim Jims and Yoohoo $20.

I saved you $630.

Owning a Z?

Priceless...

3 nights lodging? It's only 1500 miles.

Maybe you"re right. You could take the first flight at 9am on Saturday, arrive at 12:30, have the seller pick him up at the airport, hit the road and drive 8-10 hours, spend the night and drive another 16-20 hours and save 100 bucks. Or break it up over three days/two nights and save 50. Could be done.

One thing you can count on, you will be intimate with the car after 1500 miles of driving cross country, and that my friend is priceless.

There are shippers that run off of an auction type system to ship any & every thing. There was a series on not too long ago called "Shipping Wars" they would reverse bid on shipping charges. The company that handled the auctions were out of Amarillo, I think. I never knew that option existed until I saw the show.
