Alan,

You beat me to post! But I concur with your comment. There are no Nissan published "factory" associations that I have found.

To be honest I don't remember where I got the text from when I setup the page so he may have gotten it from the same source but it appears to be a cut and paste from my site:

http://geocities.com/z-car/rebuild.html

Right down to the large bold first letter for each paragraph.

ta240,

Don't take this personally ( no insult intended ) but your above-linked page is a PERFECT example of how people can be misled.

Right at the top of the page, in big bold letters, it says "FACTORY RESTORED NISSAN 240Z'S".

No two ways about it - that's just plain old misleading in my book.

Is that a quotation from another source, or did you write it yourself?

Like I say, don't take it personally though.

It's been so long since the page was done, I don't remember. I think something like 10 years lapsed between setting up the pages and finally going back to delete some dead links recently.

Nothing taken personally, although I don't take these cars as seriously as some either

I can see how that statement might be misleading to someone...

To the best of my knowledge no NISSAN 240Z'S {aka Nissan Fairlady 240Z} were restored/refreshed/remanufactured etc - there were about 38 DATSUN 240-Z's completed under the Vintage Z Program however.

given the hit counter stats on the page I don't think I've had the opportunity to mislead too many people .

But I do always appreciate input on improving it.

All of those "Datsuns" were Nissans, Carl.

Yes Alan, but a few of the Nissans were not Datsuns...

oh goodness. i am so confused.... a square is a rectangle???

None of the Nissans were 'Datsuns'......

All S30/S31/S130/Z31/Z32/Z33 'Z' cars were/are Nissans.

The asking price is quite reasonable.

Looks like the minimum bid price (26K) was reasonable. Didn't generate a sale.

New listing on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-240Z-240Z_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6188QQihZ011QQitemZ320117642256QQrdZ1

To clear up some of the comments and questions from the old listing. The owner of the Vintage Z also owns the VW dealership and this is from his personal collection. The old reserve was $32,000 when the starting bid was $26,000. I am told the car is in very nice condition.
