  1. If she (the Wife) lets me live till next week, it'll be a Miracle..... So an old friend wrote me from Iraq this week, telling me that he would finally finish his tour and be home by the 26th of March. But his 240Z needs to find a new home as the military is moving him and he can't afford to move it where he's going and there won't be any room anyways. He tells me to find someone who needs a 240Z as a fixer upper. So here's the details.... 72' 240Z. 11/71' HLS30-53007, Factory paint is 113 green, all 4 tires are flat and need replacing. The car has sat since 1995 (or at least that's what the tabs say. July 95) So when I checked it out yesterday, here's what I found... 4 flat tires, hood is unbolted and has a front dent, engine is out and on an engine stand, exhaust manifold, carbs and intake on the front seat, seats are not looking good, dash has 2 long cracks in the typical area above the gauges, center console is there but backwards and just sitting there, Transmission in the rear hatch, Has both 240Z bumpers, rear is in great shape, front has a few dents that can be pounded out. Roof has many small dents but might be managable or I'll have to pull an Arne on this Z as well. Now the good news......... NO major or even small dents on any panels but the roof. NO visible exterior rust and the frame rails look awesome!! There is the usual Battery area rust. There's a small dent on the almost rust free floor boards from an idiot trying to jack it up wrong but that's easy to fix. Everything seems to be there!!! And did I mention that it's FREE!!!!! That's right, completely free........ So I head over again today with 2 spare tires and throw them on and take the 3 decent looking wheels to the gas station and air them up. Holy crap!! They hold air!!! Remember, this car has not moved for 15 years and the tires have flat spots and cracks from sitting so long. By the way, the tires are Pirelli P77 all season tires that look to have 90% tread on them. Too bad they sat for so long, they're damn good looking tires. And all 4) 5 slot aluminum wheels are there and just need a good scrubbing. My neighbor is gonna borrow his brothers flat bed trailer and Tyler and my neighbor will help me push it on the flatbed and get her home, all of 4 miles away. So I'm super excited at this point. Gonna clean it up, give her a bath and a good spit shine, polish the wheels and get new uncracked tires, etc, etc. Not sure of the real plans yet but she's gonna be a beautiful car in no time. More to come tomorrow, after I get her home. If Leah don't kill me, Dave
