What is your Daily Driver
By the way five&dime, thanks for the Bertone comp, i always liked them and wanted one, now i've been driving it about a month after working on it for a couple of months... Had my fun and now it's time to sell it... I work for a living but have been buying and selling 2,7 and 940 series Volvos as a side hobby for over 20 years now, usually 5 or 6 a year... That is one sweet dime you've got there, couple of guys in my Ct. Z car club have them also... Our Club advisor and fellow member is Bob Sharp, talk about being in the presence of glory.. What a great down to earth guy though, he even signed my ZX shock tower and a Z poster i've got........ Once I got divorced I started buying Z cars and other rides I always wanted, had a couple preludes, 3 BMW's, one Beemer was an 80's grey market 740i turbo car,had that one about a month and a half and sold it, life's too short, gotta have fun..............

What is your Daily Driver
I thought my Bertone was bad on gas, the CL600 must really be a guzzler, that's the V12 correct?, 8 more cylinders than my turbo 4....

how much did you pay for you're Z?
$2,500. two months ago w/110k original miles, VERY nice overall. Could use a couple hundred dollars minor rust repair. But i'm very happy with the car and the purchase price........... tomwas This is my 15 ZX from 79-89
-
Bought another one today.
Know what you mean, I'm on my 15th ZX, usually one at a time but currently have two in the driveway. 85 the keeper and 89 for sale in the site classifieds. It's an insatiable urge to say the least, but what an urge.. tomwas

My "new" ZX......
Yes, The belt was just done at the end of 05, actually for the 1st time. He brought it to a Znut tech in the area and had it done. He said the original belt was still in good condition, no cracks or anything, just a little stretched. That's one heckofa life span for a belt. Gave me many other maint rcpts with the car. It looks, sounds and runs beautifully. Looked thru your gallery, you've got some nice collection there. Do you own a warehouse for storage or what. I posted in the fall that i was looking at a 78 Z w/80k miles on it, that one ran terribly and turned me right off. Have been looking since from Albany to NYC and the internet etc. After all that traveling and hunting around this one came up in a local for sale publication. I was the 1st to call, show up and drive it. My heart raced when i pulled in the driveway and saw it. Advertised for a resonable price i even got it for $300 less due to having the cash in hand.... About a month and a half ago i bought an 89 2 seater w/181k on it for $600. starts right up but runs like crap, needs work and now trying to sell it for what i paid for it... No garage and my driveway is now filled with our 2 Volvos and my 2 Z's

My "new" ZX......
My new baby, just purchased last week from 2nd owner w/110k on her. PO bought her 10 years ago w/30k. He took xlnt care and now i am the very proud owner of this fine Z car... Can't wait for spring to arrive..........

I'm off again, 81 turbo automatic..
Will be going to look at another this coming Sunday, 81 2seater, auto, turbo, 85k miles, 2nd owner since 84. This one sounds a bit more promising, the owner has 11 cars, from a 37 Olds to a 63 Galaxy. A real car enthusiast/nut. Sounds to be in decent condition with good maintainance, leather interior still in good shape, still has original a/c charge in it and blows cold, amazing. Said he changed one side door skin and the other has minimal rust at the bottom of it. Am I allowed to still post here on an 81?, i know it's not a classic Z, just curious. E-mailed the guy with the 78 and he said he had brought the car to his Nissan dealer last year to work the bugs out of it and they just kind of sent him on his way, would not even consider working on it. He said he is just going to put the car up for the winter... Tomwas
