Z scam ?
I'm pretty sure a Western Union wire transfer to the Bank of Nigeria is part of the sale.

Harbor Freight 5lb tumbler
I'm not dealing with rust, but more with grease. I purchased a HFT untrasonic clearner and it works pretty well. As for tumbler media, I suggest a visit to the Eastwood.com website and searching on green or brown plastic media. Lots of good info along with customer reviews.

Spare Tire cover warped
The thread below seems to imply that fixing it would be difficult. http://www.djchat.com/showthread.php/57023-Un-warping-particle-board I had a damaged spare tire cover and opted to ordering a replacement from MSA for about $40.00.

What else are you in the market for?
A mint and low mileage 1994-95 MR2 in Steel Mist Grey would be on top of my list. I had a Red 1993 that I regret selling

Type Of Original Plastic Used For A 240Z Interior Plastic Panel?
I've had good results repairing plastic air ducts in the engine bay using screen door material as a backing along with a mixture of Shoo Goo and POR15 thinner to make spreading easier. I plan to use the same technique on any plastic interior panels with may need the same attention.

Specifically Affecting Ca Residents, Please Read
As a California resident for over two decades, it baffles me how the state's priorities are so out of whack. Gov. Brown wants to build a high-speed rail that is so over budget, it cannot turn a profit, let along make the promised time between LA to SFO of 2 hrs and 40 mins. Now impose another fee on a small minority of vehicles that shrinks as attrition and time takes it toll. The biggest problem facing the state is water, not going after old automobiles.

$65K
Most likely the owner is testing the waters and perhaps trying to capitalize on any momentum from the Z432 auction a couple of weeks ago. If the owner is serious, a good place to display it with a "For Sale" sign would be at the upcoming MSA show. Nothing like that kind of atomsphere to pray on a euphoric impulse buyer with a fat wallet

1972 Datsun 240Z Barn Find Survivor
Nice find and the best color, too The refresh should be fairly easy and from the looks, it's later 1972 model. Also nice to see the PO opted to Ziebart or Tuff-Kote it years back.

71 240Z Chattanooga, Tn - Estate Sale
Given the type and quality of the other items in the estate, I would assume the paint job isn't Maaco grade.

Z Myths Busted
The padded headliner of the 240Z was specifically designed to mitigate the adverse effects of multiple episodes of blunt force trauma to the female passenger's cranial region when she engages in vigorous and unrestrained sexual exploits with the male driver within the confines of the vehicle. Although this activity was not envisoned by the Nissan engineers, it is a welcomed side benefit.

Leather Dash Cover Installation
Many years ago, as a teenager, I had a Z with a pristine dash. One day, the clock stopped working and I decided to give the top center guage pod a good slap to hopefully get it ticking again. I think you all can figure out the rest

S30 Demand And Value - Stock Vs Modified
The short answer is that a highly modified car will be of less value than stock in the longrun. I would argue it would cost more money to bring a raceday Z back to stock than the other way around. Try doing a search history on Ebay to compare active and completed auction prices of stock versus modified example in similar condition. That should provide you with an initial baseline of value for comparison.
