  1. I don't know if there's a difference .
  2. I have one for a '72, fully loaded with gauges and wiring . It's for sale . $?
  3. I have been chasing this as well . AM radio does not improve with the stainless antenna used as far as I know ! The antenna is for FM reception. AM reception comes from an internal '' ferrous rod '' wound with a wire . Google this , and you will see tons of info on this subject .
  4. Wow ! I used to own a 1 of 9 made 1969 Ram Air IV GTO convertible . I gave it away in trade on a shiney black 1969 Judge when I was in my early 20's . WAAAAAAAAAA.........
  5. 538 has the brow .
  6. Hi Gab ! I'm in Victoria B.C.! Did you ever deal with Greg from the zcar club here ? And.... do you want to sell that back window ? Mine is scratched ( vin # 538 , clear hatch glass ). The red dot mirror actually has a red dot on the day / night control toggle, as does mine . You can easily confirm this .
  7. Yes , at least those pieces should be . I've been in # 69 , and the radio / heater control surround was definately grey , not black . Maybe these were replaced by the restorer . I wonder if it has the red dot mirror ?
  8. Compare the color of the glovebox door to the dash. Does the dash look grey ? Or are early ones black ?
  9. I know ! That's probably half what a resto would be , if it had the early interior grey plastics etc. and other early stuff . Someone nab this !
  10. Corrected , I had my wine goggles on ....:knockedou
  11. This would make it # 16 on the earliest known registered IZCC list . Fairly significant to the discerning collector .
  12. Craig's List , someone provide the link as I'm computer challenged . Note the hand throttle / choke throttle levers, but loose the iron cross wheels ! $26,500
  13. Price , delivered + assembled ? How high does your garage need to be for proper inside clearance ? Power supply ? Oh , see price now .... if you have a standard roll up door I suppose that pushes the whole assembly ahead by the length of the door, past the tracks ? ...
  14. I don't see the relevance of comparing 1980 dollars to 2008 dollars for this car. 2008 dollars buys you 2008 advances in technology , manufacturing processes , testing , etc etc. I know it's a comparison just for fun , but a cheap Kia represents leaps and bounds better bang for the buck in a straight fun comparison IMHO . Gee , that's the first time I used today's accepted abbreviation for a perfectly good phrase . :laugh:

    I can '' decode '' any worn key , use my ITL code cutting machine , and give the customer a new ''factory fresh'' , nice key with sharp ''square'' cuts. The key will now work perfectly , and won't pull out in the incorrect position . No more ''wiggling'' or cursing ! You will wonder why you waited so long...

    They don't have locksmiths or tow trucks to call to open up your prized vehicle in Brisbane ? Or are you too :tapemouthcheap , and want to wreck the locking system yourself ???:classic:

    #169 for sale in Victoria B.C. Needs frame work but all there, has grey color dash components ( heater control surround ) and the usual early stuff that makes it rare . Look at '' UsedVictoria.com'' , type in Datsun as a search ! Not mine, seen and been in it one time . Usual rust repair etc. Met the owner once . Sorry for the thread hijack, Carl ! $6500 Cdn .
  19. Hey , I gotsa Vette , and my waistline isn't out of control ! No Eckler's neither so :classic::cheeky:

    Er , hotwire won't work with the steering wheel locked . To just start the car you just remove the 2 small phillips head screws that holds the ignition ''driver cam'' onto the back of the ignition housing , and insert a small flat blade screwdriver and turn clockwise till the starter engages . Anyways , hope she gets help.

    I've been locksmithing for over 25 years - we don't ''mold'' anything except your credit card imprint into the receipt . Seriously the ''mold'' thing is Hollywood not reality - we '' impression '' a key to fit, generally we don't have to take anything apart . This is just one method of hand fitting a key to cars ! Mike , absolutely no burn or flame intended here , locksmithing as a trade is so misunderstood ......:cheeky:

    ''MOLD'' you a key ???? Please don't ever repeat that phrase again......:stupid: Khrystina , if you or your Mom have an AAA membership , lost keys are included in their services to you ! Otherwise call a good locksmith . I'd charge 120.00 or less for this , and it takes 15 minutes as long as 1 ( one ) key worked for doors and ignition. Good luck ! Also there's a good chance the key number tag is still glued to the inside of the glovebox somewhere . Then it's even cheaper !!
  23. So , your build date is 3 / 70 ? That makes it a '70 ! Unless you meant 3 / 71 .

    Get a loan .
  25. To me reprints are reprints , not limited production . A real 1970 manual should fetch decent money , say $50 or more in nice shape . Now a real 1969 print with factory whiteout and all the spelling and funny mis-translated ''dilections'' can reach $300 + to the right buyer ! ( seen it , been outbid by a site member argh ! )
