Need to hear more from that motor! Great vid and very nice car, nice to see a little American muscle let loose in the UK. :bow:

Drives really well for a forty year old car! The previous owner replaced the shocks and leaf springs and installed heavy duty sway bars so it handles OK in the corners. But driving it reminds you how far car design has come since this was built. Everything feels a bit raw and when that V8 kicks in it definitly gets your attention! 8K, which is about the average for a coupe. Fastbacks are going for 15 - 20K and a really mint original, matching numbers, show ready car could be up to 30K.

Couple more pics -

Speak for yourself! You might be worth a Punto...

Yea, if I always prefered the fastbacks but it was not what the missus wanted. Good thing because they cost twice as much! Mario, that is a lovely example. Were they getting a full respray?

No, not one of those you perverts! Just bought her the car she has always dreamed of, a 1967 Mustang coupe (she doesn't like the fastbacks, thank god). Think this will buy me enough credit to attend all of this years meets without complaint? Still have a lot to learn about Mustangs but this one has 289V8, three speed automatic, and not one spec of rust.

I bought these last year from the same vendor and have no complaints. The price is very good and the guages work well.

Whoops! Sorry Emero, Yes, Dave requested one car pass and admission for you, I just forgot to update the numbers in my post. Dave said he would pay for your tickets so you can settle up with him.

Sorry, but I wont be able to make this meet after all. :headvswal As Gaz pointed out it's Mothers day and the missus wont be happy if I miss another one. Hope you have a good time!

I've always liked black wheels on a silver zed, makes it look mean!

Great job James! Changing the trans is no small job... :bow: Nothing more satisfying than doing the work yourself and having everything work as it should. Good luck with the MOT.

Track time is assigned by the organizers. They had to preassign time for the demos, and tried to give each club a morning and afternoon slot. Could have been worse, the first briefing is at 8:10 for a 9:00 or 9:18 session. Are you planning to attend? Because your not on the list... Yes, if you dont go to the briefing you will not get a wrist band and will not be allowed on the track.

Yep, but it will be worth it! (or stay at a hotel near the event Friday night)

Our Z only track time has been confirmed on the Japfest site! Group C - 8:40 briefing, 9:36 on track Group S - 12:40 briefing, 14:24 on track

Anyone else interested in what is guaranteed to be a great day out? Picture this, you just had a great time at Billing and got completely trashed with 87 like minded Z owners and hangers on. Just as the hangover subsides you can get back together at the first big jap car meet of the year, and have everyone help you remember what you got up to! Not to mention track time, vendors, see the new R35, drift displays, and very expensive cars being driven into walls by people with more money than sense (NSX anyone?). http://www.japfest.co.uk/

Mick and riceboy, still waiting to hear from you...
