Hiding something? Why you say that, Hoov? The 240Z door panels in great condition are in very high demand right now - especially in black.

I stripped 3 more Z's last year and sold over 250 parts on eBay. Some of them started out at .99 and ended up in the hundreds by auction-end. My best seller was a set of blue Z32 leather seats (2+2), which sold for slightly over $800. Other good sellers are: working Jebco clock, 240Z interior rear cargo and side panels, tail lights and seat belts in working/great condition, and 280ZX front and rear interior panels.

Hoov sold black door panels, Wrecked.

EDIT: Oh, Hoov, if you have to ship those door panels, DHL offers the best rates and they're automatically insured for $100 (you can add more for a very nominal fee). I used DHL to ship all of my larger parts - had lots of fun "making" big boxes out of small boxes also. LOL!

There's a major difference in price between UPS and DHL though, especially when the weight and box sizes increase. That's why I use DHL.
