A couple of years ago, I bought a '71 off craigslist. I already owned a couple of '71 cars so I thought I knew what I was going to see. Long story short, when I arrived and started looking the car over, I popped the hood and saw the 2400 valve cover. Then I looked at the vin on the door jam. Its vin was hls30-05305 with a manufacture date of 6/70. I am curious why such an early car is a '71 and not a '70? A friend of mine said back then, the cars were titled based the year they left the dealership. Not when they were manufactured. Also, since the price went up each year, there was a compelling financial reason to title the car later in the year. Do…

Is there supposed to be a piece, some sort of end cap, on the rear edge of the door moulding strips? Thanks!

I'm gonna start restoring my 240 and I was going to do a ls3 swap but now I'm thinking of rebuilding the l24 and just putting a turbo on it. I don't know much about the L series so are the L24 good to build for power or should I use a L28 or just keep with the ls3 swap idea?

took a trip a last weekend, drove back Sunday thinking less traffic (not) down 75 starting at Tifton, 260 miles of rain later, had a tiny bit of wetness on the floor board, under the carpet right around the back large floor plug. Now I mean rain like get started on the Ark type rain. I can't imagine how many millions of gallons must have fallen, but 260 miles for about 6 hrs of non stop, cant see, afraid to pull over and become a sitting duck type rain. I finally bailed out at Ocala and took some side roads home (never venture south of Ocala on 75 if you can avoid it). anyway passenger side was completely dry, so I guess the cowl vent is in good shape. I did purchase…

Does anyone know how to tell the difference between a Nissan replacement S30 front fender verses an aftermarket front fender? With the exception of the tabco replacement rockers & wheel arches, etc, front aftermarket fenders always seemed to be black at least from the pictures. And the Nissans were grey. Other than that, I wouldn't know how to tell the difference. I realize it has been awhile since they made them. Any way to tell? Thanks

the judging rules seem to be adequately defined in the ZCCA Judging Manual for the cars, but there are no guidelines or protocols for the judges themselves. Something, like a Judge's section needs to be added to keep them in line. I can say that myself, because, over the years, at several shows utilizing the ZCCA rules, there were mistakes made by "judges" that were incorrect because they were basically just some guys pulled off the sidewalk at the last minute. One problem/mistake was by a judge who incorrectly tried to operate the vehicle, and deducted points because he didn't get the result he expected. Another was a judge who was not respectful of the car and deduct…

Hello All, So I recently purchased a 1978 280z. This is my first Z and really my first old car in general. It has had a bunch of modifications to it already from a guy in California who is an apparent Z collector \ restorer. With that bein said I have ideas, dreams, etc to do with this car. Im moderately mechicanically savy and pretty decent in the electrical \ retrofitting and engineering fields. With that being said, the car does need some work but has most of the essentials. Im looking for some help, direction, known impediments or problems to let me know what i should expect to be up against with this project. It has had the following done so far... C…

I don't want this car as much as I do the garage space. I've taken some pictures but my batteries are dead now and charging so I'll put some more up tomorrow but help me figure out a fair price please. Car runs great, don't know the compression yet but I'll check it and post that too. It's been in storage for 6 months and I got used to walking around my garage without hitting rearview mirrors. Odometer shows 23 thousand and some change, I'd say it's 123 thousand judging by the rubber on the pedals. It has A/C installed but not working, heater core was bypassed when I bought it so I don't know what's up with that. It has had a shi**y respray, flaking o…
