   This is a nissan/datsun oil cap from the 70's, however I am not sure on what cars this particular cap was provided on. Anybody know? (What car?) (what country?) It looks a little like a 280ZX cap but I think its a little different.

   Hi everybody, I just recently purchased a 1972 240Z, the problem is, is that I grew up around old Toyota Corollas and Celicas (the Z's sleek body lines and rich history finally got to me). Even though I did some research about vintage Z's before the purchase, I realized I really don't have any human resources or know anywhere to go when it comes to the Z camp. This is also my first Nissan, and the only Nissans I've ever really worked on were 240SX's. I was wondering if any Z owners around the San Francisco Bay Area could recommend a good mechanic and body shop that specializes in 240Z's? It would also be great to know of any parts resources in the area too (I only really …

   Anyone see the new issue of Classic Cars (www.classiccarsmagazine.co.uk)? I only got to look for a couple of minutes at the bookstore. The 240Z is up against a few other cars but I dont' know exactly what the contest was. Whatever it was the Z won. I did notice that Goertz was credited for giving the Z its sex appeal... ANyway if anyone has more info on what it was about please post it here. I wont' be back to the bookstore for awhile and anyway I'm not dishing out $9 for a magazine. michael

    Hey all... question: would you take this rust bucket and refurbish it if you had the money to spend on the stuff needed to repair it, over a period of time of course.... :nervous: I realize its in bad shape, but hey, no reason to let it go to the crusher... right??
