    hey there are no crash test dummies in those cars. OR are they dead on the floor
  2. Love those old LA photos. Looking at the smoggy grey skies brings back memories. At first glance I thought it was another california barn find car that had surfaced a few years back. Plates and color are different though.

    Good price on this 260z. Current bid 750$. If there is no frame damage its an even better deal. Cars that have been stored inside for decades are getting harder to find. If I was anywhere close to him i'de snap this car up. Check out that 80's velour! I must admit it.. in the early 80's i put red velour inserts in my 260. 1974 Datsun 260z | eBay

    I was looking for old authentic crash testing done on datsun cars and found this slighty entertaining. Taking the datsun to the airport and trying to make it airborne wtf???The last part was my favorite. The detail on the inside and out was pretty good.

    Check out these old rusty cars behind Rocky Auto shop in Japan. I'de be interested in the story behind the left hand drive orange 240z and how it got there. Obviously US military but why bother to import it there and leave it to rust. It was obviously well taken care of in the past. Do some servicemen import classic cars to Japan to make a quick buck?

    You got anything better? This is the largest market for zcars probably in the world. Sure there are anomalies but many are real sales. I know because i've bought zcars on ebay in the past and got decent cars for decent prices. edit: just reading the specifics on the 69k z. Whenever I see "frame off" restoration I suspect they're american muscle car guys that think import cars are in the same league.

    This site quantifies prices and sales. It appears prices are taking a little dip. Sorry to dissapoint z owners but z buyers will like it.

    Thanks guys, I knew there was a reason I live out on this hot rock in the middle of the pacific
  11. i know thats why my trusty tape measure will tell if its in the ballpark. But of course if someone needs a precise alignment go to a good alignment shop you can trust.
  12. You have wear on the outside edge right? I have the same thing. The old stock rubber bushings were worn on one side and allowed the a-arm to change position. after i replaced the rear control arm bushings with poly, the wheel position moved and matched the other side using the scientific 2 finger measurement. really should check the rear toe with a measuring tape but for now i think its much better.

    70 78 Datsun 240Z 260z 280z Front Windshield | eBay I bought one from this guy and had it shipped to me in hawaii. It survived because he did a heluva good job crating it. The glass he sold was like brand new. he did a good job finding the cheapest shipper too. also might use car-part.com and look for dismantler in your area
  16. Corvette Museum Giant Sinkhole Swallows 8 Cars | Security Camera VIDEO - YouTube the black stingray is what makes me sick. the other cars personally don't do much for me. This kind of reminds me of when reggie jackson's warehouse caught fire and it burned up a shelby gt500
  17. A massive sinkhole that opened up under a Kentucky museum Wednesday morning swallowed several vintage and rare Corvettes. The National Corvette Museum said the Bowling Green Fire Department estimates the sinkhole to be around 25-30 feet deep and 40 feet wide. "This is going to be an interesting situation," Museum Executive Director Wendell Strode told the Bowling Green Daily News, noting that a structural engineer is at the Bowling Green facility to evaluate the damage inside its Sky Dome section. Six of the cars in the sinkhole are owned by the museum; two others are owned by General Motors. "It is with heavy hearts that we report that eight Corvettes were affected by this incident," the museum said in a press release. The museum said the cars are a 1993 ZR-1 Spyder and 2009 ZR1 "Blue Devil" on loan from General Motors; a 1962 Black Corvette; 1984 PPG Pace Car; 1992 White 1 Millionth Corvette; 1993 Ruby Red 40th Anniversary Corvette; 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06 Corvette and a 2009 White 1.5 Millionth Corvette. Strode told the Courier-Journal that emergency personnel allowed museum staff to remove the only surviving 1983 Corvette, which was at risk of joining the other cars in the sinkhole. “Before we do anything, like remove the other cars, we want that assessment so we know if there’s been any structural damage to the Sky Dome,” Strode told the Courier-Journal. The museum is closed for the day. An estimate of the cost of the damage done to vehicles and the museum has not yet been determined. No injuries have been reported and Bowling Green city spokeswoman Kim Lancaster told The Associated Press that this appears to be the first incident of its kind at the property. Bowling Green is also the only place where General Motors builds Corvettes. The city sits in the midst of Kentucky’s Western Pennyroyal area, where many of the state’s longest and deepest caves run underground, according to The Associated Press.

    drill some holes then screw it in and pull it out. get it in the ballpark and fill it in with bondo
  20. At the very least get one of those pump up bug sprayers at home depot and dump a quart of very light oil in it and blast the underside and inside panels of the car with oil.

    If that car were submerged, the cardboard kick panels would be warped. That strange looking rust pattern on the gas tank looks like it had/has a gas tank leak. Car has probably sat for a long time and gas tank is all rusted inside. Take a look at that fuel filter hanging down. Has a gas monkey been working on this z? I watch this program from a remote internet feed in japan. Its one of the few programs on japan's discovery channel thats not dubbed in japanese. Probably they can't translate all the slang and the strange texas accent. How many z's have surface rust on the suspensions? I'm thinking this car has seen some deep south high humidity. little panel on the console is for the aftermarket a/c. ARA brand probably.

    I can't wait to get rid of that hot start heat soak condition. I can pull off that zx injector fan/bandaid. Hope the hellfire won't be too expensive when all the bugs get worked out.

    Did the windshield leak in that car before? I'm wondering why the floors rusted that bad for being a sacramento car. Ah.. doesn't have blue plates so could have been from out of state. Very nice looking now. You even have factory a/c for those hot summer days.
