Holy C R A P... Darbji, so happy you are ok. Glad it wasn't the Z, but even if it had been, things can be replaced...you can't... Heed Ronnie's advice. Take it easy for a couple of days because the aches and pains will emerge over the next few days. Sit back, relax and have that boyfriend treat you like the queen you are... Take care darlin' and keep us up to date.

And don't even think about trying to get it through the border...

Oh man...what a waste...

I'm very wary of shill bidders on Ebay (I believe I was a victim actually). Wouldn't it make sense that the same people would be interested in 2 identical items though? The same winning bidder is odd, but why would a shill actually win? (kind of defeats the purpose...) Maybe a die-hard restorer who bought both to pick the best and resell? Wierd, but doesn't seem fraudulent to me.

The description is very well composed. Certainly leads one to believe you could restore to perfect with minimal effort. Good for him.

Transmission type? (I assume automatic, but...)

Guy, Have a month or two free to come to Montreal? Very nice work!

Happy New Year Juan! You might want to get at www.hybridz.org They have these topics well covered. As I recall it is a difficult fit (that's why we don't see many of them) but there are some guys doing it. Try this forum: http://forums.hybridz.org/search.php?searchid=1542011 But be careful...some of those guys over there are nuts...

And stop eating all the women Dade!

This is where the discussion shifted to Dade, if he actually meant Full House, we've been discussing nothing for the last few posts...:stupid:

Jim, Note that I came out hard (and early) against the comments by full house. Simply not acceptable and there is no place for them on this board. My comment above relates specifically to Dade's post which I simply read differently. If he intended other than in jest, I agree with you completely. I think Rick is expressing the same point of view that we need to ensure we evaluate posts to try to understand what people were trying to communicate. I often post comments in jest which I hope aren't misconstrued but I'm rarely trying to be sexist, homophobic, racist, etc. (Sometimes I might express the odd anti-american sentiment, but hey, I'm a proud Canuck ).

Interesting. I took Dade's comment as a tongue-in-cheek joke. One of the problems with text based communication.

Just to avoid confusion, I'm pretty sure she's a series II 240Z (I assume that by 1st generation you mean a 240Z...).

This thread almost makes me happy I drive my Z in Canada... oh...wait... BTW...Unbelievable detail Carl. An education on A/C. Thanks!

Now that's how you sell a Z... All flaws well documented so you know what you are getting. Not a steal at $6K, but very fair considering you know whats need to go into it. If possible, it would be great to know what the selling price is as I believe they will realize something in the ballpark of asking. This in turn may drive better disclosure and overall better prices on resale (I believe there is a general discount in Z car pricing due to the impression that they all have hidden issues...). Good luck with the sale Katy.

Kind of reads funny, but he just joined now to find a good home for the Z. Make sure you post lots of pics (use photobucket or a similar service) and good luck finding her a home.

Put your pictures on photobucket.com and use the "img" links here. Photobucket will "right-size" the shots and they will post right up. Too bad you can't keep the car. Kick you neighbour in the shin and good luck with the sale.

Touché

I understood that to mean he had verified firing order...again a seemingly common problem though...

Mental note, avoid Will's bad side or at least keep back to the wall...

Agreed with Arne, most likely timing. Alternatively could the carbs be way out of whack? You say fuel, check. Where? In the bowls? (this seems to be a frequent issue, search the forums). Can't wait to hear you got her going.

Shhh....don't let my wife hear you...

Describe what you are getting (or not). Any power at all? Lights? Starter clicking? Spark?

Wife's order from Motorsport is arriving on Friday. Car covers for the '71 and '87. A hat and some other "goodies" that she hasn't fully explained yet. Might go a ways to explain the t-shirt and the large piece of a$$...

Not sure, but likely went out with a smile on his face...
