This is a bit OT but car related. Through another car site I found out about a crack free '73 240Z dashboard. These are far more rare than crack free 914 dashboards so I was a bit skeptical... But the ad, in Seattle's Craigslist said the guy lived in Everett and I remembered that one of those crazy WCR08 guys, Jon Bovey lives in Everett... I emailed Jon and gave the seller Jon's phone number. Jon went over to the guys house and laid eyes and hands on the alleged perfect dashboard. Jon called me and said "well, it's perfect"... Done deal. Now Jon is going to take the dash to UPS store for shipping and some heavy insurance...
Thanks JON! YOU DA MAN!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) PS: I would have asked Curt but I know he is busy removing his flares (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) |

When I paypal'd the money it said he was a verified member with over 1000 transactions... He must not be a Datsun guy though... The last true perfect dash I heard of sold for $1600 + shipping. This one is going in my '73 240Z that has a new interior, new paint and a dash that well... brings to mind a canyon that runs through the four corners area of the country. Heavily topographic if you know what I mean... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

I don't think he cares to get top dollar as long as he makes money. Just the impression I got from him. |

I don't think he cares to get top dollar as long as he makes money. Just the impression I got from him. I suspected that... He told me he wanted to handle the sale locally because the last dash he sold that was perfect ended up cracked on arrival. I was actually thinking in my head that he left so much room between the going price and the actual price I could drive up and get it and drive back... But then I remembered... They put Boregon between us and you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Duhhhhhh!!! Just kidding! |
