So I'm just driving down the road, minding my own business, and BAM! there's this fenced lot with a Z in it...and then another and more....How do you find out who owns a piece of property. No names, no signs or nothing...

I stood on my lumber rack to get this pic...I counted 8...

And there's a couple more over here...

If you can find/get an address,the more specific the better, you can go to the county assessors office and do a search for ownership on the property. That's all public record. It's not to hard to find the real owner, but if the place is leased to someone else that could be harder, especially if the owner is out of state or a corporation or trust or something. You can sometimes do this search over the internet too depending on how good the county site is. Good luck! It looks like a little treasure trove you've come across.

They look like they're in pretty decent nick too !

Auto parts stores can be good sources for where to find junker Zs, (and perhaps some in good condition). The folks at my local NAPA store volunteered info on a 260 "stored" in a field when I was in getting parts for my 240. They often know who has a Z because he/she has been buying parts from them.

MPERDUE - I can identify with the Dallas "Z scene". Here in sparsely-populated SC one rarely sees any early Z - I've only seen two 240s in as many years.
