Looks to be back on, so I'll keep you posted. Next season? How about next weekend!

I had a 85, 89, and a 91 Twin Turbo. The 91TT was my favorite I kept it 8 years and 160K miles. It was a car at leat 5 years ahead of it's time. That empty garage space just driving you crazy, huh Charlie? Or gotta find something to do until track season starts next Spring again?

My buddy few years back had a 78 280Z but previous owner swapped in a Corvette 327 and high rise fiberglass hood. Man that was a fast car.

Oh man, those V8 conversions are an abomination to a pure Z guy. Good for me that I'm not one...:) I'd love to drop a nice 350 in there.

My old man had a two tone 280Z. That was such a cool car. Have always loved Z cars. Not the fastest but they sure did handle good.

I had an '81 280Z, was blue and silver. Was a fun car, but had a lot of fuel system troubles with it. Fuel pressure regulator one time, had to replace a lot of the fuel lines, etc.. It finally just wouldn't start one day, and never ran again. I didn't have the $$ at the time to tow it to a garage, so I sold it to a guy down the street. He never got it to run either and sold it to someone else. They got it going as I seen it going through town one day a coupla years later.
Fun car, and I remember there in the early 80's they cost as much as a new Corvette for a fully optioned model off the showroom floor.

In ca I think that 78 would be a lil high priced with it having to be smog legal and all IMO. For the right buyer that thing is clean.

I had been thinking of getting rid of my 78Z . These recent threads have really got me thinking.

Jerk, took a 1000 dollar deposit with the clear understanding I was coming up next week to pick it up. Sold it out from under me...

So wrong!
If you make a deal that's that.

I have bought and sold many vehicles and would never leave or take a deposit. Always come ready if you can.
