Below is the link for this 240Z rotting away in a field near Lincoln, Nebraska.

Bart, it has the correct rear bumper center piece you need for your '71.

Sorry, just noticed this morning that I pasted the e-mail last night by mistake, which was too late to try to edit my post. Here's the link:

Steve, I just e-mailed the guy on that 240, my 75 280 is almost done and I'm looking for another project and this one looks promising. I know by the pics that a lot of work would need to be done depending on how bad the rust worm infection is besides the right rear panel. Thanks for posting this up.

If you can get the piece of bumper ( if chrome intact ) for me, then I can pay to you for the bumper and shipping costs ?

Bart,

MJR45 is going to try and buy the whole car, so I'm backing off on trying to buy any parts. '70 -'72 rear bumper center sections (or entire rear bumpers) show up on Ebay at least 3 times a month, so I would check things out there.

I live in ct and ran across a yard im mass with 1000+ old cars rotting away every thing from 57 chevy's and nomads and 70/71 chevelles to dodge darts mustangs buick skylarks and even older stuff from the 30 and 40s. Point being there were 3 z's one was a later 74 260z, a 240z not sure what year i think 72/3 and i believe a 280z not 100% sure tho. The bumpers for the 240z were pulled off but inside the car, they were in great shape because of this! I ended up buying the bumpers, a dash cover, and center console with an armrest for 300. if anyone wants the location i can find out.

Bart and Steve, I passed on the car after talking to the owner who owns a body/resto shop and his advice was to buy and sell off all the parts, in his words "not a good candidate for a resto."

damn truckloads full of parts in the states.. almost none around here I need to get a holiday !

[az240z]

Well there aren't any here either.

[SportBikeMike]

There certainly aren't any in Illinois!

[Mikes Z car]

Idaho has some Z car parts but there aren't enough Z car owners here to take advantage of that due to our low population density at least I think that is what the story is. Shipping heavy things isn't cheap unfortunately. It takes time to pull parts off of a car.
