wow, very nice i´m more than a bit jealous. Have fun

jup, just a joke...looks like trash

btw ......http://westslope.craigslist.org/cto/4744445575.html .

well, those escorts need some stylish ride as well ...with hidden LPG i meant no visible 80l tank in the trunk (because that´s ugly and you get troubles with German classic car regulations) but one that fits into the spare wheel well. Basically by keeping the original looks of the car you get a discount on taxes etc. and a hidden tank gives you this + cheaper miles.

380SEL, sweet i will put some thought into it. It may still be that i will just directly ship it to Germany.... many if´s right now. Just Pm´d Xander since he´s apparently living 200km away from me

hey, thats what i heard as well, somebody in another forum said that cars from up north may actually be better, but since i don´t want a dozen and only have to find one.... Shipping with a motor inside is not possible (i guess) since no shipping company i know will accept the car for insurance ( bad weather while shipping and you have a motor tumbling around in your car). I would acutally pay them to remove everything from the engine block and leave the block there.

this one is also on my list once i find out why it´s labeled "not running" http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/4741616410.html but the exterior picture looks VERY nice

Hey, yes, the last one of your cars is really interesting for me, i tried contacting them this morning and some time ago. Would somebody want the "performance engine" if i get it? (no chance shipping it). As is i´m quite afraid of bondo-bombers (it´s almost never done here). I will see what they will tell me. Regarding Xander, don´t even think about buying it before me I´m quite familiar with the dutch Oldtimer-traders (we had several snooks and live at the dutch border on the height of Groningen) and i´d like to get "my" car (apart from the one you linked being a 2.6 and i want the Jetronic and it being well over 20.000$ ) edit: i actually live 60 km away from the Marktplaats one, and i think my father checked it out already. We also checked one in Maastricht a time ago but virtually EVERY PART looked decent from 10m away but was broken.

hey, thanks, i only knew that 77 had the raised back..... but 6\76 sounds like there is no stock one ^^ original plan was to combine a roadtrip with a purchase, e.g buy a car then drive it to a port over 1-2 month. But yeah, very few 2+2, but here they make more sense (longer wheelbase and 2 spare seats )

Hi all, i´m browsing craigslist etc. for the last month trying to buy a Z (without luck). My Question right now is this. I want a -280z -2+2 -ideally with 5speed original -with spare tire (if i´m right later ones didn´t have a full tire) - this is to hide a LPG tank to make it driveable here in germany without crying when i´m on an autobahn. -not repaired (most Us repairs on frames i´ve seen won´t pass german inspections, so better rusty than dead-repaired. the problem, was the 5 speed availible on full spare tire cars? I just read that they increased tank volume on later years (77, 78) and that 5 speed became availible in 77. ....and if this car exists, anybody want to sell one ? Thanks you all, i promise pictures once i get a car (will be my second vintage, first really own vintage car)

Hi, is there somebody here in the Forum who can check out a car near Dallas? Since i´m in Germany (land of no z cars apparently) i would need someone to at least look at it once so if somebody feels he wants do do a good deed feel free to drop me a message many thanks in advance, Richard
