Posted September 20, 200717 yr comment_222313 My new purchase arrived today via transport truck, a 1971 240Z in Green and Butterscotch.....MY FAVORITE COLOR for the 240Z. I have always been on the look out for this color and when this one came up on Ebay I couldn't help pressing that "buy it now" button. Here's a few pictures of how it looked after it was unloaded, I havent done anything to the car yet. This will be my "winter project" and keep me occupied when the time changes and it gets dark at 6:00 pm ( I hate the time change) so I'm sure I'll be posting some more questions later. (Yes, Mike I'll also make another $$$ donation..) Quick FYI on the car: It was "restored" in 1987 and I did get all the paper work and just about every receipt from the last 20 years, it's a lot of paper work. Rust is mainly surface, and not a whole lot, mainly where the paint is cracked. Some filler that I found, but again not too bad. Seems to run great, as I put about 30 miles on her today. New butterscotch seats will available in about 4 weeks, as well as the plastic, so that will help alot in the interior. All in all I'm very happy with the purchase. Z ya soon, Randy Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/25628-my-newerr-old-1971-240z/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

September 20, 200717 yr Author comment_222318 Hey Arne, Most vendors will start carrying them again mid to late October. I spoke with Z specialties and Black Dragon, both said Butterscotch was being added back to the lineup due to overwhelming request. Zak, he also signed the passenger side visor, so if I lose one I've got a back-up...

September 21, 200717 yr comment_222355 Randy, did that car come from California by any chance? It looks really familiar. It looks like one I've seen at a couple of shows out here.
