what should i offer a guy for this 240?
without a motor you also have to consider how to get it to your garage , towing and getting temporary tires on it and the money spent doing that, i think I would start at the 100-150 range , i think you can buy alot more car for a few hundred more and might be a better investment , at 700 to a grand you get alot more car to start with , and EXPECT to spend alot more than you plan , anything 30 years plus has issues even worse when its in the shape you describe, good luck

Last Oldsmobile rolls off the line today
there were plenty of great cars from the 80's and 90's but they weren't american made, honda crx , mazda rx-7 , 300zx tt , supra turbo , but it seems it was also the last bit of most of these cars production run, japan also tends to mess up a good thing but generally it takes longer, 50k for a sports car is a bit much , but just my 2 copper pieces

Last Oldsmobile rolls off the line today
simple market sales they weren't selling enough, i have no beef with olds but gm as well as ford needs to take the imports as a whole as more of a threat if they expect to compete in todays car market and i mean truck as well, never owned a gm product mostly toyota nissan and honda with german in between but i find very little need to shop an american built < as they say > product , lack of style quality and desire to excite the consumer will be the noose that tightens the neck of gm, it seems they are 5-7 years behind most in style and form , but just my 2 cents

Maybe a dumb question, but...

Tools
I have purchased very nice snap on and matco as well as sears pro line , but either way if you lose or misplace or lend it out to friend or family its still not there , I started getting some of my tools at harbor frieght , I wish they sold just 10 , 12 and 14 mm sockets and a 5 pack of philips , I think a good set of tool is a wise investment but an expensive set < with the exception of specialty tools > are just more money just my 2 pennies ,

How much did you pay for your Z?
First z was a 72 bought in 87 for 2600 sold for 3900 , put in probably easily 6-7 grand in it , yes not a good investment , had a 71 in 94 bought for 550 and sold for 1200 decided it wasn't for me , too much body work but made some $ on it , last one and present <oct 2003 > i saw in the paper for 900 went and saw it offered him 450 and waited and sure enough he called , its in pretty good condition but i stripped everything that might be bad and replaced or rebuilt it, have most of a 54 and e31 waiting to go into it , easily have 1-2 g in it and untold amount of time , my brother picked up his 260 in a upstairs garage in a downtown building for 500 with no tranny but a truck load of parts , now runs like a raped ape as he so eloquiently puts it , but alot of time and good family time working on it family bonding to hell with monopoly buy a z and get the family together to cuss and swear at 30 year old bolts that don't budge

16X7 Riken wheels
well dare i say i might be wrong , i thought the riken was made by western not enkei http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2475888027&category=43954

16X7 Riken wheels
the 750 is very reasonable for rikens in 16 inch , without tires , they were not made by enkei but close to the western wheel mesh design , the enkei 32 series which had a flat iside around the lugs was similar , there are a few styles from the mid 80's to late 90s like that but hard to find , to give you an example the ssr reverse mesh wheel in 16 or 17 which is similar is 585-665 roughly per wheel , another maker was epsilion , very similar in style and made in the 4 on 4.5 in a 16 rim:disappoin

Hyundai joins Toyota, Honda atop quality list
would never put hyundai with the likes of honda toyota or nissan , i am sure they are getting better , but in my opion no matter how much you polish a turd its still a turd , i have seen other articles which aren't the same but i am sure they all use diffrent formulas , gotta say if the tiburon was made by someone else i might buy one ,
