February 3, 200421 yr comment_66969 [What kind of car did John Candy drive in SoapDish?] I know John Candy drove a 280Z converted to a Ferrari in "Delirious". Matter of fact, the guy that owns one of the two that were made for the movie lives a few cities up from me. Saw the car at a show last year and he wanted $60,000 for the car! [More often than not, what was the worst enemy of your 240Z?] The posted speed limit of 55mph!

February 3, 200421 yr comment_66979 3. late 71 production, with many of the cars being titled as 72. 4. Rust, but previous owners would be a close second.... :cross-eye Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/10014-trivia/?&page=2#findComment-66979 Share on other sites More sharing options...
February 3, 200421 yr comment_66983 Wow, another winner!Question 3 is toast.Question 4 is toast as well, but I have to dissagree with your order on the last answer.Everything you had to fix on your Z was due to improper care by the previous owner-rust included! It was his/her car, it was his/her responsiblity-even if the PO was knowledge/time/money challenged! My car is on the slow boat to near perfection, and I accept all responsibility for its current condition as the current owner!To quote Sam Kineson(?) from the movie Back To School, "Good answer, I like the way you think!"What, Nobody for extra credit?

February 3, 200421 yr comment_66999 Just got an idea for a question from another thread!Where are the common rust areas in the early Zcars-I know one who didn't know...Now for a good, and particularly pertinant, answer to the number floor plugs in a 240Z .How the heck would I know, I have never seen a 240Z with an original floor! I'd have given that one credit! Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/10014-trivia/?&page=2#findComment-66999 Share on other sites More sharing options...
