Here's one, if you gotta little change in your pocket. :laugh: http://cgi.ebay.com/PETER-MAX-VINTAGE-POSTER-DATSUN-1972-SIGNED-PENCIL_W0QQitemZ150419506716QQcmdZViewItemQQptZArt_Paintings?hash=item2305b3861c

First, I'd give the guy a call and find out all you can about the car. If you're happy with his responces put 2 grand in your pocket, hop in your car with a friend or family member and inspect it in person. (like you said, it's only a few hours away) It looks very driveable, test drive it and if everything checks out mention a few flaws you might have spotted and offer him something a little lower. If he bites, you're that much further ahead of the game. Now, just drive it home following your friend/family member and start enjoying your new Z! (see...no need to tow) :Self edit...Take someone who knows how to drive a stick!

One more try....:cross-eye http://gadsden.craigslist.org/cto/1626502682.html

Maybe not as nice as the other, but a little closer to home.... http://chattanooga.craigslist.org/cto/1624056649.html

See if you could talk this guy down $600, then fly out to Phoenix and drive this baby home! http://phoenix.craigslist.org/cph/cto/1623864409.html

"Support your local tire shop... it pays off" :tapemouth So much for that thread!

Maybe it's just lighting or whatever, but the color of the front fender looks waaaay different from the rest of the car.

HLS30-00001, S30-00001, PS30-00001 and so on and so on.......next?

Naw....... I don't EVEN wanna go there!

Not a bad idea, but if the law finds out, they'll probably take his kids away!

LOOK OUT! Condescending lecture for not including the rest of planet earth coming in 10-9-8-7-6-5-4.......

Not Z related, but doesn't everyone love a good duct tape story? During a private "fly-in" fishing excursion in the Alaskan wilderness, the chartered pilot and a fisherman left a cooler-box full of bait in the plane. Well a bear happen by and smelled it. This is what the bear did to the plane. The pilot used his radio and had another pilot bring him 2 new tires, 3 cases of duct tape, and a supply of sheet plastic. He patched the plane together, and FLEW IT HOME!

Shame on you! :disappoin While I agree that there's no need to relocate the battery, I totally disagree with the "worth the hassle" part. Just seeing the before pics of the battery tray, one would have to know/suspect that there was rust between the tray and mounting surfaces and that while cleaning around it might make it look pretty, it would only be a matter of time before it gets real ugly there. Must KILL rust, must KILL rust, must KILL rust!

No, it's an air intake duct on the turbos.....scheeeeeeh how many times do I have to say that!

Darrel is correct as to the part's placement and function, however I believe it only came on the turbo models.

You might want to check this guy out, seems there's a couple things in the photos you're interested in. http://kpr.craigslist.org/pts/1509627017.html

Could be, I just don't see it. :cross-eye I figured there was black paint under the mud but are you saying there is something like a door ding moulding running across the top? The last pic of the rocker on the driver side with the door open doesn't seem to show any chrome strip or moulding.

I think you're seeing mud kicked up by the wheels.

What "after market rocker panels" are you referring to?

Someone actually got it on video. (Be careful with the volume, as there's some "light" cussing involved.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32yyvmlGOdo

BTW...It's Custer as in the General, not Custard as in the dessert.

You might want to check out the water pump. There's a small hole on the underside that allows water/coolant to escape when the pump is starting to go bad. Look for any traces of coolant under it and along the front of the timing cover and down.

Can your wife stay and play?

Mr. T-Hawk, I think she kinda pointed that out herself.

Stay on I-90 thru South Dakota and you won't run into any mountains. Of course if you have the time, you might want to get off the beaten path and check out the Badlands and the Black Hills. Oh and MEZZZ....you gotta get past the being scammed thing, it's gonna tear you apart! :paranoid:
