So I go to pick up some parts I won on eBay recently and the guy I am getting the parts from mentions he used to have a 1969 production 240z. I told him I have two and asked him what the VIN was. He couldn't remember, but as he described, it I realized I own that car now! It is #331 and I bought it a couple of months ago from the guy that he sold it to 5 yrs ago. The guy I was buying the parts from had bought it to turn into a vintage racer because it was a 1969 production car, but when he looked into it further he wasn't going to be able to race it like he had planned. I think there have been other posts about people trying to do the same thing with the 1969 cars. He also showed me a 1970 he is just finishing that he put a Cobra 289 motor in. Apparently he used to vintage race a Cobra and had a spare motor left over that he decided to use for his conversion project.

To top it all off, he emailed me after I got home and apparently his daughter happened to come over today and heard my voicemail I left for him. We both work for the same company and we used to be in the same department together.

wow, that's crazy!

What a cool story. Have you showed him your Z yet?

No, I almost drove one one there, but it was about a 100 mile round trip and decided to take another car instead. The low VIN one that he used to own is inoperative and a real project car. That was the way he bought it about 8 yrs ago and is has't been touched since. It will take me a couple of years to complete that, but I told him I would bring one of my other Z's by sometime.

You've read it wrong. His daughter is simply a very elaborate stalker and now they have you right where they want you.

I'd go into hiding if I were you....

That's Funny. Actually given the others cars that he has it might be worth marrying into the family for. Ops...I'd better not say that around my wife. :nervous:

Maybe you can introduce me...my wife/girlfriend you probably give me a green light if it would reduce the financial commitment ot my Z addiction...(she actually used the words "Z addict" last week...)

What a coincidence! I bet he'd love to see that car again some day.

It is a small world out there. Everynow and again you run into situations like that. How crazy can things get.
