I figure there must already be a thread like this somewhere.  But if not, let’s bring it back ...you know the rules so let’s get to it ...

So I picked up these beauties today ...(actually Matt from Edmonton drove three hours and dropped them off for me.  Thanks again Matt if you are on here ....)

Solid rear quarters cut from a 72 240z, 90550 (RIP)

 

Right side ....

 

 

Left side .... (bonus: window, door latch, side marker, hatch strut, antenna and speaker ?)...

 

Some small rust rust in the lower dogleg and around the gas cap but basically pretty solid ....

 

 

 

I paid $1500 Cdn, or about $1150 US, delivered to my front door.  And so now the question:  “Deal” or “No Deal” ???

Hard to come by at any price,  but if you need them you gots to have them.

True ... and here is the problem child ...70, vin 05677 ...traded it for the families old SeaDoo last year ...

Interestingly, when that “repair” was done, new panels were still available for a few hundred dollars ....

 

DEAL.....You lucky SOB......I hate you!!!!!

But....I bought a perfect 71 gas tank today for $50.00 .....just like new inside!  Also got an F54/ P79 engine for $150.00.

Agreed - I am very thankful.  I was hesitant to spend the cash but my buddy Tom called me and said “...check these out...you need these to fix the 70, and you are crazy if you don’t buy em...you just don’t see them ...”

Truth!  It was just a young guy and he only wanted “interesting trades” instead of cash.  I pitched everything I could think of.  SeaDoo got me on the list ?

I have never understood that!!! I don't want to trade. Just sell for cash and buy what you want. Just never made sense to me
