  1. Howdy Royal.... Where are you located in Houston. I live in S.W. Hou. and if you or the 7k car are somewhat nearby, I'd be happy to go check it out with you. PM me if you're interested.

    Just another thought. Check and see if you have access to the heater control valve (what the heater hose clamps on to). If you do, you might be able to remove it from the heater core and be able to pull it down for better access. You may have to cut the hose first. Good luck.

    Hi and welcome! That's a shame, looks like you had a really nice ride. If a body shop just can't straighten that frame, get your tools out and strip that mother. You've got a gold mine in parts. :laugh: Oops....Forgot about your question. Some will fit but I'm sure others won't. Couldn't say which, as I'm not real familiar with the 280. Personally, I wouldn't waste those parts on a 280 shell. It looks like you've got another Series 1 and you could possibly use some of them on that one. If not, I'd look for another 70 or like I said you could always sell the parts. Lots of members here always needing what you've got. Good luck.
  4. Yeah, just send me the $44 and get yourself a rare harness cover!
  5. I agree whole heartedly. I won't touch any wheel that's a pain in the a$$ to wash much less polish! Turbine, honeycomb and those damn wheels with the tight criss-cross patterns are just a few that suck to clean. I don't care how good they look, I won't mess with them!
  6. It's 7.5" tall x 9" wide. Don't know, still not sure of it's value.
  7. Well, I've got this one I'd be willing to part with. Just have to figure out what it's worth.

    To all our Veterans: Thank you for your dedication, service and sacrifice. God bless you all. Mike D.
  11. Those sure look purty, especially when compared to how they look after a garage fire!

    Not sure how they were secured on the early consoles but on my 72 it lay on top of the tranny tunnel under the console with the small canvas section facing the rear. The two nylon loops hung out from under the console (one on each side) and seatbelt was fed thru loop. The hole in the canvas is where the single screw in the middle of the console goes thru to keep the straps secure.

    They're seatbelt straps to keep the driver and passenger side seatbelts (next to the trans tunnel) from falling between the seats and tunnel. It mounted under your console using (I believe) the center screw that holds the console down. Most people took them off. Didn't see many in the junk yards, so they may be somewhat rare like hubcaps. ....opps....I forgot to tell you, the bottom of the " V " shape faces the rear of the vehicle
  14. Here's some of mine. Now let's see what ya'll got!
  15. Maybe not, but now that you own #913 (and we all saw the condition that one was in ) I don't see how you could possibly pass up the plethora of "donor organs" this vehicle could provide. Of course that all depends on how cheap you could get it. There just might be a bid battle near the end and let's not forget a road trip that definitely will not be cheap.

    My 72 was easy to remember: HLS30097001. I sold it to a lady who gave it to her son and is now owned by a member of the Zclub of houston. He put on a new roof skin to replace the sunroof it had when I bought it, did the interior in leather and it continues to win awards at the International Car Show held here every fall. So I get to see my old baby once a year.
  17. Rattle snakes.....Scorpions.....Gila monsters....OH MY!!!! :eek:
  18. Well I went ahead and "Asked the seller a question" or two :cheeky: about rust, interior pics and vin#. I guess we'll have to wait and see if he responds to my questions in his ad. If he emails me directly, I'll copy his response for everyone here.
  19. If they aren't brand spankin new, you might want to stop by a parts store and get your alternator and battery checked out. Good luck.
  20. 1) Someone would only need a flatbed if they didn't have an extra set of wheels to bring with them when they came to pick it up and yes shipping would be a problem for someone on the other side of the country but not a problem that couldn't be overcome if one was truly interested in this car. Maybe a Classic Zcar Club member who lives nearby (or even the seller) could slap on a set of cheap wheels and tires for an agreed opon price. 2) "Ask seller a question" would probably work in this case. :stupid:

    I believe he means "Series One".
  22. moonpup replied to GROMIT's post in a topic in Wheels & Brakes
    They'll fit only if you move your engine to the back of the car. :cheeky: On second thought....leave the engine where it is and then do a search here on bolt patterns and find yourself some different wheels.
  23. My 83 ZX was originally purchased at Sun Datsun/Rolls Royce in El Paso, Tx. Go figure!
  24. I'm in Houston and my 3 core had no problems and would probably be enough for your situation also. Before you go with the MSA unit, you might check with radiator shops in your area and see what they'll charge to add a row to yours..
  25. Egads...how scandalous that line must have sounded back in 1963!
