Weird options (power windows, floor shift, A/C) make this such a good little cruiser and likely loaded with personality.

I'll sit back and wait, then.

The car can be shipped anywhere. If you contact me directly with your zip code, I will be happy to give you shipping quote.December 22nd, 2022 at 5:26am ESTCarmelon (0) 0Will the buyer have to go pick it up or will it be shipped to a provided address?December 22nd, 2022 at 5:24am EST$1,500 bid placed by @CarmelonDecember 20th, 2022 at 3:58pm ESTUI_Classics (76) Seller 0@zachmac I kind of see what you are saying. It must have been the light or the camera settings. It's definitely black interior.December 20th, 2022 at 3:07pm ESTzachmac (157) 0@UI_Classics The write up says the interior is black but every single picture sure makes it look blue. Which is correct?December 19th, 2022 at 3:31pm ESTLWB250 (35) 0@UI_Classics Parts are still available to this day, you just have to know where to find them. That hasn't changed, but for most "production" shops they don't want to be bothered with having to source things from different vendors, so if NAPA doesn't carry it you can't get it. Again, it's a compromise. The Webers or any other conversion carburetor will never work 100% correctly like the Zeniths.December 19th, 2022 at 3:26pm ESTUI_Classics (76) Seller 0@LWB250 now I remeber that about 6 years ago we had a two-door 250 that had original Zenith carbs and it didn't run properly so we tried to have them rebuilt and nobody in town could do it because they said they cound't get parts so we ended up getting the Webers. Maybe that's why these were changed out. At least it seems as the Webers are easier to maintain and adjust. December 19th, 2022 at 3:16pm ESTLWB250 (35) 1@UI_Classics I can't say, as I don't know their specifications. However, I can say that I've serviced numerous cars with the Zeniths and a few with conversion carbs (there were several vendors who made conversion kits) and the Zeniths, when set up properly, always resulted in better performance and smoother driving. The "conversion" kits often had issues with flat spots in the acceleration curve, as you may be experiencing, which can't be adjusted out. You have to adjust them for a narrow band of performance and as a result you lose something in the process, low end response, high end response, transition between idle and load, etc., etc. They're a compromise, I guess is what I'm saying. The Zeniths can be finicky, but again, if you read and follow the service documentation on them and adjust them in the sequence given, they work perfectly. When they act up it's often because people just start making adjustments without following the procedures.December 19th, 2022 at 3:10pm ESTUI_Classics (76) Seller 0@LWB250 it's definitely interesting to hear about the carbs. Do you know if the Webers make it run any better? More power or better fuel economy?December 19th, 2022 at 3:07pm ESTthembmarket (691) 0Additional photos showing the undersides of the doors have been added. December 19th, 2022 at 2:12pm ESTLWB250 (35) 0@UI_Classics It's because few people had the patience to follow the proper procedures for setup and adjustments on the Zeniths. Instead, they would yank them off and drop Webers on. You have to follow the procedures in a very methodical (German!) way, if you just go in and tinker with the adjustments they'll never work properly. They weren't Quadrajets or Holleys - they had to be adjusted in a systematic way. That and in some instances the top covers of the Zeniths would get warped because some ham-handed owner or mechanic would do their Arnold Schwarzenegger imitation when tightening the hold down screws, which only had to be finger tight.December 19th, 2022 at 2:07pm ESTUI_Classics (76) Seller 1@LWB250 that's not a problem. I'd be happy to take additional photos and send them for upload.December 19th, 2022 at 2:06pm ESTUI_Classics (76) Seller 0@LWB250 I found many places online where people refer to the Webers as "upgraded" carbs on these. I, personally am not familar very much with these
