They had these here in the US also, a friend of mine had a nice '70s green one.

There's a guy in your neck of the woods who deals in Z parts, I do not remember his name, the company name, the phone number, nor an email. I'm sorry about that but I bet if you continue your search you will turn him up.

Check out these guys: http://www.showcars-bodyparts.com/240z.html http://www.kitcarz.com/ http://www.gtorr.com/

I'm very interested to see what this developes in to! I like the idea of one file and being able to do more calculations. I also like the idea of part numbers and prices...however prices change often enough that maintaining this would be a headache.

I do not belive that it's a problem with Michael's site, I just accessed it with no problems. Michael, do you have a static IP address or dynamic? montoya, have you ever been able to access it and your access is just irratic?

Got more details on the car (pix, VIN, condition other than rusty, details about the rust, etc)?

Call Jerry over at All Z Car Specialist, he will have a hood and fender for you. Just look him up in the Ft. Worth Yellow Pages.

Please do a quick search...this has been discussed in GREAT depth a couple times and there is already a lot of good information on the subject. Makes for interesting reading.

Right you are on both accounts! I have never seen a Z with this item still installed...nor have I even heard of it. Please tell me about it's purpose and the pros/cons of removing it.

No, as stated above the hand throttle connects to the gas peddle inside the car...search for some old posts detailing this out. As for your "extra" part, if you are talking about what I have highlited in the attached pic that is normal and connects to nothing.

I couldn't get this video to work. Anyone have it to share? This one is cool but the quality is REALLY lacking. Does anyone have a better quality copy of this one?

Post a pic of the area you need. Let me know if one from a '75 will work and I'll let you know if I can help.

Just to clarify one thing, the choke handle that Z Babe has a pic of in the post above is from a later model and not the '70-71. Correct?

The orange one appears to be fixable...the blue one is an example of what happens when car meets telephone pole. It is very sad about blue one as stated above it appears to have been very well cared for...hope everyone walked away from this one.

Unfortunately I realized when this thread was started that I will be out of town during this event so I will miss it. :disappoin Those who do make it I'm certain you will have a great time!

I'm curious about this also Ben. 26th-Z, can you please point this aftermarket and replacement riff-raff out to me just in case I come in to a few bucks and want to negotiate with this guy.

From the research I've done the P90 is a great head to use but requires some modification whereas the N42 will yield the same results without any modification. Now this may not be the complete picture with respect to flow, quench, and all other factors; that may have only been with respect to a few of them. Also you are mistaken in your above statement about the casting code for hydraulic vs non-hydraulic lifters. The non-hydraulic lifter head is the P90 and the hydraulic lifter head is the P90a. Thank you Arne, I didn't have the link handy when I posted.

Maybe no mud in the desert but PLENTY of dust!

I think it was partly the price, started at $4500 and had a reserve higher than that even, and partly the lack of good description...this guy does not know what it is he's selling. i.e. look at the title of the auction and you'll notice he has it listed as a '71, then later he says that it's the oldest Z you will ever see on the street...NOT!, then he claims it to be a prototype :stupid: I believe that he scared some people away with the above items. He only lives about 45 minutes from me and I'm REALLY tempted and REALLY REALLY want it but now is a REALLY bad time financially.

We will get rain and some wind this weekend but by Tues. that will all be gone...the Z Fest is NEXT weekend! i.e. there's NOTHING to be concerned about. :cheeky:

You should also read up on Bryan Little's site, Z Garage for some additional information on heads and an L28 build up.

Just a thought on driveability...a white dash will be VERY bright with the AZ sun reflecting off of it...and right there in your line of sight while trying to drive...could be a bit dangerous. Just something to consider.

That is quite interesting, I have production date 8/70 with VIN 8215

I don't know the names...do you have pix or a link to pix?

Just program your VCR.
