The $3500 GT

Posted May 26, 200519 yr

comment_125175

Here's a link to an article I just got. It's from July 1971 Road & Track magazine and is a comparison of five $3500 GTs including the 240Z.

http://www.pape.ws/allan_and_rosanne/Z-Car_Stuff/The%203500%20Dollar%20GT%20Article/The%203500%20Dollar%20GT%20-%20July%201971%20Road%20and%20Track.pdf

NOTE: for some reason this came out to be a 19MB file...it's only a 7 page pdf so I am unsure why it's so large.

Because its 7 pages of images (of pictures and text).

If it was 7 pages of text and pictures it would be alot smaller.

Yes, this article is in the Opel GT Gold Portfolio and was the main reason I picked the Z car as my next project after finishing my '72 Opel GT. The comparisons are detailed and very informative.

Tom, right click the link on the page, then "Save target as" and save it to your computer. Then open the saved file. Works for me, but it is a big file. I got to 7 megs then cancelled it as I have it already.

Are you on dial-up?

If so you'll probably have to save it to your computer before opening it, but it will take a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time to download.

So heres the same article, resized and as separate pages

(i zipped it, but it was to big to upload in one go. 2 meg limit zipped was 2.85 mb).
