zhead240

my buddy bought a new mazda truck last year.he got some kind of electric charge on the truck (extra $350) that prevents rust guarantee.first i've ever heard of it.some way of telling when charge gets low to have it recharged ( not necessarily ever year either)

hold the voting, we have a new contender for first place http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=19270&item=5534052474&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

can't believe the winnebago story. how can anyone that dumb live so long and earn enough money to buy a winnebago.someone should write to smith and wesson and warn them to put a disclaimer in their owner's manual-do not put loaded gun barrel in mouth and pull trigger,could be hazardous to your health

couldn't pour wizz out of a boot with the instructions written on the heel.

no, didn't get it> :stupid: someone from ireland bid with 35 minutes left.i called the owner after to let him know i was still interested if the deal didn't go through(dead beat bidder or nigerian scam). he says the guy from ireland is a nissan dealer so it sounds legit.sblakely wondered why i didn't pay on the spot and drive away-i only went to look to see if the zed was worth $12000 starting bid.i was caught off guard when the owner said he was open to offers.it was saturday(banks closed) and i wasn't prepared to deal that day.went home and thought it over, called to agree to his price but had to leave a message on his machine.next day he changed his mind and wanted to let the auction run out first.well live and learn.i see one near cincinati (mason)for $5900 asking(72).has 83000 orig miles.only 5 or 6 hour drive.iwhen i get time i think i'll go look at it.anyone know this zed? http://adcache.collectorcartraderonline.com/10/0/4/76564004.htm

are these what u need for 27thZ or do u already have them?(or maybe u are going to use mags)

remember the thread about D hub caps and outrageous $$$. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14837&highlight=hub+caps there's a set of them on ebat now starting out low. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4502274029&category=34209 i guess it all depends on condition, condtion, condition.

just when i'm in the market to buy my first zed wall street comes out with this. now everyone who's selling their 240 puts this in their ad and thinks their car is worth more.(UGH) i wish wall street would mind their own business and stick to what their good at- swindleing,embezzelment and cooking the books.- you know how to make a small fortune- start with a large fortune and invest in the stock market

hi. i'm in the market for a zed , but not a poject car. just want to welcome you to the club.

being fishermen we're called fish heads - thus zhead which was taken plus 240= zhead240

he called back to say he's changed his mind and going to wait for the auction to end first. he's got 4 or 5 interested parties if he sends them pictures.( shoulda made the deal yesterday- snose you lose)well gotta hope nobody bids and i'm still in the game i hope.so none of u peckerheads bid on it.

well- i drove up to look at the zed over the weekend.the guy lives in a mansion that makes jed clampett's house look like a tar paper shack,placed on a 500 acre farm.( now i know what he meant by go to the south gate)he's kinda like the ted turner of canada,owns a cable company and he's only 47.we go out to the other garage and when he opens the door, inside is the zed(my knees buckle) she's gorgeous!!!!.looks better in real life. it took a while to sart because it's sat for so long.kept pumping the gas. i told him to use the choke but he says u don't need to with triple carbs.finally got it going.he says it's not legal(no insurance, maybe reason he didn't let me drive) but we'll go for a test drive anyways, it'll be ok here.( we're located in the sticks somewhere between hootersville and pixly).he winds it out to about 80 mph. to me i seems to ride like a lumber truck. u can feel every bump in the road and it's kinda noisey.he tells me it'll run smoother with the original s u carbs on.get back to the mansion and he says he's the price is negotiable.i ask what about ebay. he'll just end it since there's no bids, he says. anyways we get within $1000. i'm at $12000 he's at $13000.( mini dollars -meaning canadian) he's got the original carbs( i'm thinking flat heads- don't need another boat anchor)that go with it.put the zed away and we look at the carbs and they're round tops.he says i can switch them and get $800 for the triples. all the while i'm thinking the guy's going to change his mind and accept my offer.( what's a grand to a millionaire) i say i have to think about it and talk to the wife.i'll kick myself if i lose this over a $1000. i'll never find another in this good of condition in canada. so i call him when i got home to accept his offer but had to leave the message on his machine. now i'm waiting for the call back. what do you all think- too much $$??

is this the show that's going to be in syracuse or rochester n y? i hope to go if possible.

check out this zed.seems to be a great deal if it's as good as he says it is. only problem-it's on the west coast, but it gives u an idea what price and condition to expect. http://www.zcar.com/classifieds/index.php?method=showdetails&list=advertisement&rollid=18510&fromfromlist=classifiedscategory&fromfrommethod=showhtmllist&fromfromid=29&

this is a misprint right? what is it? http://www.canadatrader.com/trader/result/affich.asp?rubno=4000&r=All&ste=&sid=&issr=1&yfr=0&yto=0&kfr=0&kto=0&pfr=0&pto=0&dm=1&dp=8&mk=DATSUN&md=&kw=&or=0&oby=7&pg=1&vid=3323016

i agree that 240z are rare up here and the prices might be a titch higher.it won't be a daily driver but i'll use it as much as possible for 6 months from may till october then store it in a heated garage during the winter.my theory is to drive it and enjoy it. my thoughts run along the same line as what cnixzgo suggested.( that is to check it out- wait for auction to end and hope it dosen't sell - then try and deal privately.) the consensus seems to be that starting bid is high. if someone does bid though i might have to jump in.

having read the thread on" how much $$ have you spent on your zed(s)" this seems to be a bargin. some of you have invested twice and sometimes three time as much $, and most have invested at least as much as $12000. this car seems to be built for racing and i just need one for crusin.

i've been in the hunt for a 240z for about 10 months. i'm willing to pay more for one that's fixed up or restored.what's everybody's oppinion on this one?(price wise) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2497447684&category=6187 what is meant by ported engine -are triple carbs necessary(could i go with duel carbs?) thinking of driving up(450 miles) to have a look.

looks like guy is parting out whole car.claims everything is off a 71 240 zed but if u go to sellers other items for sale he's got a set of flat top carbs( definately not 71) not very good descriptions either.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7929867622&category=33643

i have seen two zeds listed on ebay after i took a look at them on a private sale. both didn't live up to their discriptions. i was very disappionted having travelled some distance. two good rules to follow when buying a car- never buy sight unseen and never buy from family and friends.

i got ben dover.what the heck does that mean?

i got (ahem) 3%. i guess i'm dumber than dirt. i do know how to put gas in a car, any pionts for that?

balls on fire!!! i hate when that happens!!

this same zed was listed oct 03 and sold for $10100 with 31 bids. i emailed seller and asked what happened(dead beat bidder?) but got no reply.

hey feniboy, welcome to the club. i'm in the same boat as u-been looking for a 240 for the last 9 months. being up north very few 240 available in canada but at least there's a bunch in the U S to look at. take your time and learn from this club and you should be able to get what u want and avoid the pratfallls. good luck.
