Went to $25k. I wonder what the reserve was. I actually bought my 240z at Mecum back in September. The seller may have took the $25k or he may have been offered more. Either way Mecum will try and pressure the seller to sell the car so they can get a cut of the sell. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The real question is, will there be a good 6-speed manual you can throw behind it!? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That valve cover looks amazing! Great job! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This car looks amazing! Do you have any vids of it running yet? Great job on it all! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haha! For some reason I didn't see any of the last page! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How's this build now? Looking forward to seeing the finish and it's getting close! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There is a google app on iPhones and androids that you can just point the camera at the Japanese words and it will translate them to English. All for free. If you have a smart phone get google translate and you'll be reading Japanese in no time!

Replied. Thank you.

This is stunning! I'll have to read through it all. As of right now I just looked at this thread as a picture book and I'm in awe. Beautiful work!

I can normally view the forums on my iPhone with just the browser. For some reason I can't get a confirmation email from this forum so that I can just login on the website. Kind of annoying. Checked my spam folder and had it resent twice. But for some reason tapatalk is working fine with it. I'll get some pics when I can. The auto shifts very smooth and it's rather peppy off the line! Just not my cup of joe though. I can't wait for the 5 speed conversion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That would be it! Thank you all for the warm welcome! I just picked up a 5 speed for it yesterday an have a pile of new parts sitting in the spare room that my wife can't wait to get out of there. The transmission is in the garage at least! Hahaha! The car needs some work. The gauges don't work properly, the center consul needs some freshening up. The suspension needs to be sorted, it vibrates and bounces all over the road. But I think I'm getting all the right parts to fix that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello everyone! I'm Mike, the new owner of the 1971 240z from the Mecum auction. I went in wanting to buy the 1970 240z and I stopped bidding at $24,500 and the reserve wasn't met. It was a beautiful car and I would have been a bit worried to drive the car. The 71 automatic that I ended up with needs some work and I'm ok with it. I won't feel so bad if it gets a rock chip in the paint from driving it. I'm looking forward to learning as much as I can about these cars! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
