Roberts280Z Posted March 1, 2021 Share #577 Posted March 1, 2021 Now this one looks like it has great hood/fender alignment: ...unlike the silver ones. I'm envious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share #578 Posted March 1, 2021 I used to just push the front edge of the hood down after closing it. There was play/wear/something going on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberts280Z Posted March 1, 2021 Share #579 Posted March 1, 2021 I can do that with my old GM A-bodies and Chrysler E-body. Nearly 1-inch up/down play. But my Z hinges are still very tight! I guess if I want it better, I'll have to slot the hinge-to-inner-fender mounting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bright things attract the wild things, like barracuda. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share #584 Posted March 4, 2021 $67,000. A few thousand dollars for a fresh clear coat seems like a good investment if you're planning to sell. The seller showed all of the matching numbers stuff but there was a lot that was not original. Kind of blows up my "originality pays off" theory.

Still a very respectable car and not nearly as correct as some here... @Zup Never mind it must have updated or something. Almost 70k for a "lowly" 73'! Superb!!

Sage that you are Carl, I remember many years ago you predicting the rise in Z values. All you pronounced has come true and appears to have more headroom ---not even a pandemic can dampen. I agree the 72 that Jim Fredrick purchased was an excellent buy at $37K, but think it was cosmically meant to be----the story, history and the reunion of Dan's Zs at Z Mecca. Perfect closure. But the difference is always about a particular car, a particular day, a particular set of buyers that just happens as it happens and is what it is.
