Hi DZR Sorry for the tardy response, I'm not having the same problem but it is interesting and we have similar cars. I really appreciate any experience related information that fellow Z owners offer. I'm in the furthest extreme reaches of Z territory and info is pretty well only gathered from manuals & the net up this way. Any way I wish you every success in getting your beauti back on the road. I had mine out for a blast tonight - went for a drive around the block - it took about an hour. I can't help it. I'm out of control. Good luck, would still like to see a pic if you get a chance.

I have one of the originals from my baby - I'll have to put it in a glass case. Would be nice to have another, but it ain't happening at that price.

Sold for $401.57 - sorry, just saw note. Still an insane price.

Item number: 270015104717 if your interested.

Cheezzz - I went way over the top (or so I thought) this week and bid thirty bucks on a set of original key blanks for the 77. Just checked EBay - 1 hour to go $127. Now that's over the top, or is it??

Send you a message - forgot to mention I'm interested in the liners as well. Please advise. Thanks

Check out list #270015012065 Charcoal grey, California car - Buy now price $999.00. Needs to be towed - could be a deal.:surprised

Hey DZR Could you post a picture of the troubled part when you get it out. Ild like to see it. I sympathyze with your situation, Ild be disappointed as well, but like you said better like this than watching flames roll out through the hood vents on a freeway. Lucked out.

Mine will only remain in motion if I give it a push every ten seconds. When power is introduced it makes a very lame attempt to swing and stops again. I gave it the recommended gnats drop of sewing machine oil - no go.

If you put your thumb over the rear it looks like a pretty sharp machine.

I've got an 05 f150 fwd for the winters and towing a trailier.

The unit is an 83, b type. Purchased sight unseen from an Atlantic Z member . Fingers crossed.

Just bought a 5 speed tranny - should have it in a couple of days. Guy who I bought it from suggested I install a new clutch while I'm at it. After 10 seconds of thought I realized he was correct - it's age and type are an unknown for me so I started looking. Then I also realized there's alot of clutch kits out there, with a wide variety of prices from $99 all parts included to $500 (just a clutch and p/p). Any suggestions?

I just bought a 5 spd (83 - .75 top)today from a guy in New Brunswick, Canada. Still interested in the other gear though.

I think it's just personal taste, for me it's a little over the top but some of it is appealing. My personal preferance is Plain Jane outside and some beef under the hood.

Hey CCC77 Did you get my note on parts?

I'm interested - shipping may be the issue. I've sent you a note.

Does anyone know if a dash from a 75 will fit a 77?? Please advise. thanks SB

Congrats Ken - looks nice.

I wonder how that would look on 110 red? It sure is nice on dark green. Nice pick!

Sorry guys/gals - read a "shimmy" search found lots of ideas.:stupid:

I recently rebuilt the front end, replacing typical wearing parts plus coupling and rack bushings to tighten steering. I installed stock wheels and wheel covers after balancing, I then took the car for a front end alignment. The car is fine to about 70 mph, then it gets a slight shimmy and if I go to 85mph it disappears (or seems to). It was bugging me yesterday so I took it to Costco and had all the wheels balanced again - they found one front wheel off a little and a rear off a fair amount. Rebalanced and took it for a road test, and still the same. Any ideas??
