Oh well, off to go try breed a cat with a dog . It's a long term project and they have seem quite resistant to the idea over the last 6 to 7 weeks despite a few vodka slammers and some Barry White , but once I get an idea. . .

I like it. I had a new Z440 around 1980. In the candy red. I've a feeling I paid around $3000. I'll have the original brochure floating around with a price written on it.

Priced way high - reckon if it was a mint original, to the right person there would be money there.

The seller also claims it's "lams approved" - it's modified - doubt it's lams approved
