xray Posted September 11, 2004 Author Share #14 Posted September 11, 2004 Y'all are good. I mean, really good. It's this kind of stuff that makes me glad I joined here.My knowledge base is second-hand, learned through books and websites like zhome.comVIN is 12xxxx, indicating a 1973.Carbs are pre-1973. Man, that air cleaner looks like a repaintSpeaking of paint, I read that 1972 240s with silver paint (901) came with red interior. In 1973, they went with black. Also, I have not seen that cool black stripey thing along the hood on any other Zs--maybe not a bad thingI think the speedo is OK--the series I and II (I think) began at 20 mphI actually thought the bumpers looked OK--great pickup, though!I also think the heater panel is OK as I have seen 6-8 1972s (3/72, 5/72 and 6/72 man. dates) with similar layouts..After that, I defer to the expertise of 26th on what he is hinting at....XOh, that chrome lining the wheelwells and doors. Aftermarket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfadog Posted September 11, 2004 Share #16 Posted September 11, 2004 Those look like very strange bumpers for a 240Z to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26th-Z Posted September 11, 2004 Share #17 Posted September 11, 2004 All right. I may have egg on my face. I really have to admit a serious lack of knowledge when it gets past the series one. But aren't the rear bumper guards on upside down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Posted September 12, 2004 Share #18 Posted September 12, 2004 Those are the correct bumpers for a 73. The rear bumper guards are O.K. It does appear to have been "pushed in" towards the body. Kind of looks a little tweaked. The front bumper is missing the black rubber trim piece that sits behind the bumper in between the supports. Another thing I noticed are the door panels. The chrome strip isn't chrome anymore it's nice and blue. The engine bay looks like it had some silver touch-up paint applied to the heat shield with some overspray. Other than the other things that the other members have pointed out I can't see anything else. Pretty nice car though. Very clean! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hls30.com Posted September 12, 2004 Share #24 Posted September 12, 2004 Carl, Nothing much done in the last five days-out of town guests, my wife and I are both on vacation-The babys room must be ready-all mean I am relegated to other service-and the Z waits-probably until this Saturday(9/18). The deadline looms closer every day that something comes between me and achieving it....WillHmmmm....At least I have a HOT, NAKED 33 year old patiently waiting for me to "work on" her, 26th is into those "older" situations-even though he has twins...
