  1. Check out this this So Cal '70 240Z for only $3k: http://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/cto/1458412646.html
  2. Can you post some pics of your cars?
  3. I agree with Carl on the three things in the USA that are a must-see; however, here are some others I would add to my list: Grand Canyon (AZ) my #1-Pictures & video don't even scratch the surface) Yellowstone Nat'l Park (WY) (unbelievable landscape and abundant wildlife) Yosemite Nat'l Park (CA) (haven't ever been there but want to go) Grand Teton Nat'l Park (WY) (closest thing to the Alps in this country) Mesa Verde Nat'l Park (CO) Ancient Indian Cliff Dwellings in beautiful SW CO Pacific Coast Highway (I've only seen the CA portion-would like to see more) Maroon Bells (Near Aspen, CO)
  4. I've heard the same thing. Stick a couple inside the car, one in the exhaust pipe, one in the engine compartment.
  5. There have been a couple of posts on this thread regarding 'That '70s Show'. Well, here's a picture of a 240Z taken from one of the episodes:
  6. Here's a junkyard 4 miles north of Denton, TX that has some complete Z-cars for sale including a 260Z G-nose: http://www.ctcautoranch.com/Cars/Car%20Sub-Pages/Cars%20Datsun.html
  7. Good, I was hoping that someone would try to save the shell. I would hate to see a Series I go to the crusher. From the pictures, it looks to have mostly surface rust, hopefully the rust underneath isn't too bad. Good luck to you Paul, and if you end up getting the shell, please let us know how it works out.
  8. Alan, Thank you for posting the great pictures and information. Here's a little article regarding the 40th anniversary: http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/16/nissan-celebrates-40-years-of-z-with-a-limited-edition-model/

  10. Yes, that is a joke. Check out the Series I on the link below, it's a much better deal for a Buy-it-now price of only $275.00: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-Z-Series-240z-datsun-240z-nice-parts-car-or-restore_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6187QQitemZ160370423011
  11. No, I didn't take the picture. Here's where I found it: http://americandreamcars.com/1972240z100507.htm
  12. This one looks too far gone..... Dan, Is this a typical example from what you have to choose from in Canada?
  13. This is a picture of my '71 240Z that the previous owner in Phoenix sent me before I had the car shipped here to Colorado. Since I'm looking for a more stock look, I plan to put on the dealer-optioned slotted wheels on the car.
  14. Here's another one: http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/cto/1405602959.htmlhttp://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/cto/1405602959.html
  15. Here's a complete Arizona rust-free '83 280ZX Turbo with 5-speed for only $1,500.00: http://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/cto/1410629125.html
  16. Yeah, $15k was my guess as well; however, I still firmly believe that if was an earlier year 240Z it would have brought more money.
  17. Why do you want an old, used piece of weatherstrip? Why not replace with a new piece?
  18. Greg, Yes, they have always included minor repairs such as fixing small dings, scratches and even some very minor straightening. In fact, one of my front bumpers was missing a nut on one of the small mounting brackets on the backside of the bumper and they welded a new one on for me as part of the service. Jimmy, I'm sure you will be happy with the quality of the workmanship, the reasonable shipping that they charge and the quick turnaround time.
  19. Hi Jim, Well, I understand that it now costs $250.00 to do the front bumper (without guards). Yes, they do it the old fashioned way. I've had 3 sets of 240Z bumpers re-chromed by them plus an extra front bumper that I ended up selling to Enigma a little over 2 years ago. Enigma said that he was very happy with the bumper. Additionally, Beandip and Dhayes5 shipped their 240Z bumpers to Denver Bumper and they both told me that they were very happy with them and the shipping costs were very reasonable. Here are the current costs to re-chrome 240Z bumpers at Denver Bumper Works: Front bumper: $250.00 Guards (front or back): $50.00 each Rear Center piece: $100.00 Rear side pieces: $75.00 each
  20. I agree with Montezuma, I would say right around $15K. If the car were older ('70, '71 or '72), it would definitely bring more money.
  21. I've had all of my bumpers for all 3 of my projects re-chromed at Denver Bumper Works. I had my front bumper done for $225.00 and I highly recommend them. Perhaps there is a company in the Northeast that can do it for you. There are a few members here that shipped their bumpers to Denver Bumper and all of them told me that they were very happy with the results. Here's the link to their website: http://www.denverbumper.com/
  22. Actually, they were used on the '72 & '73 240Z, 260Z and the '75 280Z. The earlier and much more rare 'D' wheel covers were used on all '70 and '71 240Zs. My suggestion to get the most money would be to list them on Ebay. Be sure to have good pictures of both the front and the backsides. The 'Z' wheel covers are much more common; however, you don't see too many sets for sale that are in good condition. Good luck.
