shoudt

Thanks for all of your help. I am now able to lock my passenger door and was able to apply a lot of force to get the rear hatch open. The hatch is a lot better now. The driver door is still causing problems. I will try to lube everything there and see how it goes. There are a couple of nuts on one of the rods. Does anyone think that I should adjust these? Thanks again.

Sorry for what is probably a really silly question. I just got my first Z. I am trying to read the older posts so I don't repeat any questions and I did not see this covered. I am able to open my doors with the door handle. However I can not lock either door. I have tried using the key and pushing the lock down. I have removed one of the door panels and I can see most of the lock mechanism, but I can not see what is preventing it from locking. I was just going to spray a bucnh of WD-40 in there and hope that it loosened something up. Does anyone have any other ideas? Also I can not open the hatch. I tried turning the key and pushing the button in. It will not open. Any ideas on this one? Thanks a bunch.

Hello all! I am 36, with 3 kids 15 months, 4 years and almost 6 years old. I just bought my first Z 3 weeks ago and I am still trying to get it shipped to me (it is killing me - the wait) from AZ to PA. Zs rule. I always wanted one. Why not get the original? Could not find a suitable series 1 so I got a 71 1/2. I am 100% Z. LOVE THE Z. Although I still have not seen the one I bought. Also have a 2002 Kia Sedona (family car), 1992 Maxima bought new - this car has 163,000 miles with 0 work on it, `1986 Buick Century - this rules as my deceased grandfather used to own it, and a 1991 Honda NightHawk 750 (old toy). My other love is IFOCE.com. Trying my hardest to make it to the World Hot Dog eating championship on 7/4/2003. Later

There is a nice 240z on ebay. I do not know a lot about them, but I have been researching them. I just bout a 1971 1/2 that I have not yet received. When shopping I stopped by to look at this car. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6187&item=2418523199 He was asking $7,900.00 for it in his classified ad. I used the info that I learned on the web and checked the car out for rust. I saw a dime sized hole underneath the back left fender in the structural metal. A bunch of older rust that was treated - I guess, then painted. I think that because the interior is very sharp and he 'took such good care' of it he did not think to mention that rust. It is a great car, but from my research I would put it at $4-5,000. I did not want to make him an offer as I did not want to insult him and his opinion of the car. I guess this is why buying a car on ebay could have its downfalls. But you never know, I just bought one sight unseen (lots of pictures) from a classified ad. I hope whoever buys this is not disappointed, but then again, they bid, so I guess it is on them. Super interior though. 70 manufacturer date.

He now added that the dashboard does have a crack in it. How much does this knock the price down on it?

will this fit a 1971 240z?

this car is really getting up there fast. Is it worth it?

thanks for the input. I appreciate it. I let that one pass because of the advice

I sent an email as well. thanks

I am looking to get my first Z. Does anyone know anything about this one? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6187&item=2414362084 It seems pretty nice to me. Any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated. I am looking for a car I can drive, but not I can't afford a perfect one. Thanks.

I am looking to buy a 240z. I would like to get one that is driveable. Also I would prefer a 70 or 71. I am not looking for a show car. Just one that is in decent and I can enjoy driving right away. I live outside Philadelphia, PA. Most of the 240's I see are CA ones. I would really appreciate anyone helping me find one anywhere in the US, but it would be nice if it were relatively close to me. Thanks!
