Proud New Mama

[FELIZITY]

Greetings And Salutations,

My Name Is Misty Lee, And I Am The Proud New Mama To A Gorgeous Series One 1970 240z!!

I Am Joining To Learn As Much As Possible About My Little Baby Girl, Felizity.

She Is In Great Condition, However I Plan On Restoring Her To Factory One Day. And I Would Love Any Kind Of Feedback And Suggestions Any Of You Proud Parents Have For Us.

For My First Question, Was The Interior On The Sides Of The Consule A Diamond Pattern??

On the later series 240z it was. But im not sure on a 70, never seen one.

Welcome to the club hope you find everything you are looking for

The quilted vinyl was used in the early cars, yes. You should find it on the transmission tunnel, the rear shock towers and the rear wheel arches. I'm not sure when they stopped using the quilted vinyl, but your '70 should definitely have it.

Welcome Misty Lee,

Nice to hear of the new toy. You'll get planty of info here. Arne is right. Your car originally had the diamond pattern on the tunnel. Can get replacement material from many sources if you want it and don't have it.

This picture of mine is very bad, shows my car as it was when I bought it (pretty ratty), but you can clearly see the pattern on the tunnel.

Welcome, Misty Lee. Yes, please post some pics of Felizity! I think all the 240's had the vinyl with the quilted diamond pattern. The 260's and 280's had carpet.

WOW another 70. Yeah!!! Yes, the 70's had the diamond pattern as Arne stated above. Welcome.
