Also I'm new to forum sights so, it looks like my previous thread is gone. Is that correct or am I not navigating sight properly. And if it is gone did I do something wrong? and to answer pacman and zed you would have to see the car to understand and I plan to put up some pics as soon as I get s chance to take some. Come on guys I'm new to this forum and all forums please bear with me as I figure out proper forum etiquette.

went ahead and put wore out bbox back in frank today since I had to cancel new transmission order until I know what's going to happen with title situation. So now I drive it for 5 minutes or so and it runs fine minus nasty sounding transmission but after 5 or 10 minutes of driving it just dies for now reason. it seems like I heard someone else talk about this problem with a z so I was wondering if it is a common problem with them and hoping somebody might know what causes it.

yeah turbo I get bored with cars pretty easily and a 240z was one of the few cars I have never owned at one time or another. But anyway plan was to finish it over winter enjoy for spring and then sell it. Looks like my plans may be changing though. I will keep you guys posted on the outcome though and get you some pics posted when it's done if it works out that way but for now cancelled the transmission, carpet and headliner order. I didn't know much about these cars when I bought it, but I have sure gotten s crash course in the z world for whatever that's worth. In my opinion the biggest dead give away I this car is the rear shock towers being beefier and slightly different shaped. And the fact that I have had the doors confirmed as 77 78 doors which will not fit on 70 240 like many other parts will. only thing that still perplexed me is that it has the bbox four speed which is wrong should have been an abox in 70. but that's not what's weird anyone could have put a bbox in at anytime, what's weird is I thought the tunnel would have had to be slightly modified to shift with out hitting tunnel. but I could have got bad info there or just misunderstood and they meant that shifter would hit console because that is the case shifter dies hit console so I will have to move it forward at bit. But it won't be to awful noticeable if I do it nicely.

well guys sure wish I would have looked on this site before I bought this car. He took none of your valuable advice and looked me in the eye and sold it to me as a 1970 240z. As soon as I figured out what was up I contacted him and offered him what I thought to be a sweetheart deal. I asked for half my money back whivh is about what I would have paid for a 77 in his condition. and that's not even factoring in the horrendous title situation. In all honesty had I been aware of that I would have been another 1000 to 1500 lighter on it. but I didn't even ask for that compensation, just half my money back. He won't return my calls or texts now and had the audacity to have a lawyer call me today which just pissed me off to no end. I was just planning on taking him to small claims court originally but now after the call from the lawyer I'm thinking of bringing in the swift hand if the dot. Didn't really want it to go down this way, because I will probably lose the car and my money if my luck holds true. But he has me so mad at this point my left eye won't stop twitching. so I'm seriously considering this option. What do you guys think?
