My new...err, old 1971 240Z

[mally002]

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

I remember seeing this on Ebay at one point...with the signed glove box. She looks very good, congrats. Keep us posted, and preserve that glove box door!

Randy, who are you getting the butterscotch seat covers from?

[mally002]

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...

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.
