There was some question as to the size and weight of these items, I just got mine last night and here's the information: 28x11x14 50.00 Lbs It took 3 days to get to me in Texas and was shipped from ANAHEIM, CA

He said on his site that a 240ZT was coming summer 2005! I wonder what he'll hit with that one? I have collected them from all over the web and from other people. I run my own site/server from my home so cost of storage/hosting is not an issue; as you can see the videos alone take up a lot of space and if I were paying a hosting service...ouch. If anyone has anything Z to contribute to my page please contact me. I like having such a collection while also offering something back to the Z community in the way of information/entertainment.

Then there's always my site which has many of these and MANY other Z videos collected from all over the web. http://www.pape.ws/allan_and_rosanne/Z-Car_Stuff/

I don't think that it would matter either way. I don't have one near me so I use one of those mail places and the people there are just great!

Hi messenger! I'm in Austin also. What part of town are you in? I'm also curious what Toyota 4x4 calipers you purchased from Autozone (i.e. 4Runner, Tacoma, etc)?

Anyone got the name of the show and know if/when it's on again?

They are 60 or 70lbs, I can't remember which. Do a quick search and you should find another thread about this same thing.

Welcome to the club! Where in TX are you located?

Anyone....anyone???

Yes, I think he will loose several people that would have otherwise attended. I do understand the reasoning though...it has to do with dovetailing the Z event with the kick-off of San Antonio's Fiesta and thus the weekend was set for the Z event that way. If they were not trying so hard to incorporate some of the Fiesta kick-off activities then the date could have easily been a different weekend. My Z will be in pieces during both shows so nobody will see my car but I may try and get to SA for the show.

It's too bad that the San Antonio show is the same weekend and not the week before/after so that you could stop there and participate. Here's the info for anyone interested: http://www.z-sport.com/zfiesta.htm

Both rear quarters looked in good shape, if the are grab them!

Don't sweat it guys, I asked the same question a couple years ago when I joined this board.

I just saw this and wanted to share it with everyone, it's highly modified but damn it looks good. Nice clean body, shaved here and there, custom marker lights, etc, etc, etc.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4534370454&category=6187

I bit my tounge on this statement but your are correct Will, the hatch glass is not worth that much used...new...maybe...but not used. Yes, this is true and I feel it went for more than it was worth...but then again this is why I was out bid on it and Chris has it. It was certainly worth more to him as he now has two sequential Z cars and I highly doubt that there is anyone else in the world who can say that (opinion here, not fact). So as one can see this would prompt him to bid higher than many others just as it would have me if I were in his position. The bottom line here it supply and demand coupled with pure desire. I agree with the statements to put it on eBay and see what she'll fetch....however I would much rather you sell it to me instead. Do be aware that any Joe Schmoe can buy it off of eBay and may not have to same attachment to the Z cars as those of us in this, and other, forums do and as such someone on hybridz may end up with it and hack her to pieces like the ol' chicken coop car last year so please keep this in mind if you really want it to go to a vintage Z buff and not just anyone with the most cash.

Ok, so it took me a bit longer to get this done than expected as I have been ill. But! I did get it done. Please let me know how mine measures up to the ones that you guys have and if this is infact for a 240Z please.

Actually, I would have to agree with Carl's vauleation of this car. It was only late last year that another early Fairlady sold on eBay for about this...and we all know how people tend to over pay on eBay sometimes getting caught up in the excitement of the bidding. I also must agree with Bambi's statements about sourcing parts for a Fairlady restoration...personally I have a series I and find if VERY difficult to locate some parts for this car and it's a US market car.

I'm with hls30.com and AWC, if I weren't so far away I'd consider it and then start marketing them actively so begin to recoop my costs. BUT, I live much too far away to transport all the parts also. It's a REAL shame about the parts in Albuquerque, those were much closer and had I known I may have tried to save them.

There's another one on eBay right now: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7959666885&category=42604&sspagename=WDVW

Couldn't sleep that morning...

That's interesting, I have Ad-Aware and Spybot and it still loads fine for me. Hey alright, let's resort to name calling like children!! I was just surprised to see this come up again, that was all. I also posted that site so that in the future anyone who wants to know what gas costs here will know VERY easily...that site is kept up to date and yes, it's only a sample of what is around town but it paints a good enough picture. If next time you are going to start out with insults please do skip it...at least the insults.

You guys are quick! I just saw this and was going to post but I found this thread already talking about the factory restore car.

It does sound like a lot of restore work but it would likely be worth it. I'm still interested please keep me informed.

Very true Will, very true!! I saw that and laughed thinking the exact same thing. For those who wanted the Tokico set up and missed out they are selling 7 more of them...they were just listed! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7959535198&category=33590

Holy cow!!! This thread again? You can keep up with gas prices here by visiting www.austingasprices.com This site is kept updated with people's submissions from what they have seen or paid.
