That's why they make them all have dash cams... Totally trashed infrastructure, they'll duct tape anything together and drive it, seriously, what a mess!

Eric is the man when it comes to brakes, that's for sure! I see he did his usual job with yours Steve... I estimate that between my three sports cars, the 911, the 914, and the 240Z Eric has done probably six sets of brakes for me. He also rebuilt my control arms in the rear of my 914 and supplied a special type of bushings I wish we're available for the Z because they're AWESOME! He also supplies all my brake pads and I go through some brake pads! Mitchell and mike, you should give him a call...

Now if you can get it for $500 and you have an understanding wife, I once bought a Z just like that for $400 sold the front spoiler for $75, wheels for $300, bumpers for $100 each, various other parts for about $800 more. I handed a couple hundred to my wife and said "go shopping." Now, she never questions anything I do parts car wise... I kept the engine and transmission and built it up for my other Z. Oh, I agree with Zedy, triple what you see and you will have an idea of just how much rust you're dealing with...

This is a car that is worth $500 or less if it has a good running L28 and a good shifting 5 speed. Parts. Someone imported that to California or it spent a significant portion of its existence elsewhere...

I will have to ask Keith about Mikuni's... One of our members here and a friend of mine Silver Streak, dropped off a Mikuni carb for Keith to look at and model. I believe that he developed jetting for it and I hooked him up with some Miki guys for beta testing but I have not heard anything from those guys. So, the answer to your question is maybe... Sorry.

Cool! Thanks Les! By the way, I hooked up with Andy today up at his sister's place at Lake Tahoe. We were both amazed at the quality of the valence and spoiler... Thanks! I love it when a plan comes together...

I wonder if this one is still around?

Noted... Keith has completely redesigned the jets... The clinic will wait until he has them in production which will be soon...

Not really necessary to mask off the block like that. I have painted several and you just paint judiciously, avoiding what stays raw metal then wipe down the surfaces you don't want painted with paint thinner. In fact that is what I thought you had done because your tape is the proper block color. Then I opened your pictures up... 8)

PLN close-up goodness...

You are correct. Venice, CA

Anyone recognize this guy? 8)

A very early BSR effort...

A really great BSR photo with Frizelle in the background?

That's a steal for a first 1000 car if it's in really good condition!

Just had the 'development and evolution' talk with Les Cannaday the other day. It seems like most race cars change... Thanks for the link! Quite a racing culture and history in Florida...

PLN didn't give many autographs...

You're right. At least the paint is different.

I grew up in Minnesota and my Z spent about 15 years there. Every October it went in to a heated storage barn and every March, right after the State High School Basketball tournament it came out. That is pretty common among sports car people there. You will not find any rust on mine. Do your do-diligence but just because it's in Minnesota doesn't mean a thing...

PLN interviewed in front of the BSR Z...

The BSR car undressed...

Another of the Kearney Z at Palm Beach International...

GNose!!!

Oh, I couldn't agree more! I own Grand Prix and LeMans with McQueen. It isn't that McQueen would have been a bad choice, but if you watch the film and have the heart of a race car driver, you know Garner really nailed it. You should write a book Steve. Your experiences behind the camera have always amazed me...
