I must have posted at the same time. Valve cover ?

dirty as all heck under the hood!

Got ya by 2 mins.

Yeah, valve covers wrong along with the steering wheel and ash tray/lighter cover. Missing choke knob.

Seems to be a discreptency in the data plate. What is it 357 or 359?

[gogriz91]

air conditioning on an early 240? I thought that was a '71 option not a '70?

Ditto on the data plates...the car is a mix of early and late 240Z-late fuse box lid in leu of an ashtray, late dash, hub caps, seats, and steeringwheel, with the rest of the wear inside, probably a dash cover...I think a picture of the firewall stamp would be in order...

The firewall stamp is pictured in a duplicate thread.

All that stuff can be found, but does it have a red dot mirror?

I would be real careful of this car if you are considering buying it. Read the description closely and look for the discrepancies in what is said. It may very well be a numbers matching car, but clearly it has many incorrect parts.

No early Z imported into America came with "factory" air. Air conditioning at the time was a dealer installed option.

Best of luck to the buyer.

I just looked at two of my 1970 L24 engines. Although not early numbers as 2288, but what I noticed was the size of the stamped numbers. Mine are all the same height. Is this something unique to earlier cars? The 2's and 8's look to be different to me.
