Zed, keep those pics, and also have the PO take the pics right before, and I mean, literally, right before he puts it on the truck. I'd hate to see such a beautiful Z damaged by the shipping company during shipping, and you not being able to hold them accountable for the damage. Have pics taken of all sides, top and under carriage. I know it may sound overkill, but this is where CYOA&C comes into effect.

Wow! She's a beauty - good luck with her!

I used EZautomovers for my 510 last month. Door to door in no time. Excellent customer service and great rates. Even the driver was the coolest guy ever. I would highly reccomend giving them a call. Ask for Phil and tell him the guy in Richmond VA with the 510 they moved a few weeks ago referred you.

Ahh...look at that ash tray and fuse cover...and it looks so clean. And those seats. Obviously these are places where my car is presently so deficient. I am still in the process of removing items- and prepping for a massive attack of sound sheeting from shoulder to shoulder and firewall to rear bumper- before I can reinstall the whole interior- even though it's still my DD, and to see such a clean (and complete) period interior is such a treat. I'll look at pictures of this one all day.

I wonder how many here are thinking " I wonder if he bought it for less than I've spent on restoration over the past few years?"

I forgot to add - does the A/C still work? It looks identical to mine, with the wires showing and all. Mine has been dead since disco.

Believe it or not the factory AC still blows very cold air. Its shocking. I have no idea how long this treat will last, but I plan on using it, as nothing dies faster than an AC that never gets used.

I debated taking the restore route, but if I did I would not be practicing what I preach. I have always preached to be honest with yourself and what you have the time/space/talent to do.

I have no shortage of mechanical talent. But I am woefully lacking any skill at body work. I also have a 4 month old. And he takes up most of my time. I wanted my first Z to be a car I could enjoy from day one and slowly work on maintaining it, and taking it from 90% done to 100% done. Make it perfect for myself, while keeping it maintained and as close to pristine as I could. I had to buy one in this condition. I know the harsh realities of a complete restoration, and even though I have a 3 car garage, and plenty of tools, I still would not be enough to do it right in anything that would resemble a reasonable amount of time.

Its never a fast job. To do things right takes time and effort. Thats time I would not be able to spend with my little boy. I mean look at his face when he first saw pictures of my Z...

I could have sworn he said, can I have the keys.. but it may be my overzealous fathers imagination combined with chronic sleep deprivation...

who knows. So, I search for a near perfect Z in the price range I could afford. I was guided by some wise people on this board, and the end result is my dream car you see. Worth the wait, and every single penny.

Car will be picked up on Wednesday and begin its trip to my warm garage..

Poindexter.... Get the dynamat bulk packs from eBay. They are only about $120 per pack. Two should be enough for the whole car. I did my 510 with the bulk pack. What a difference!!!!

Go dynamat or go home. All other brands are garbage!!!

Whoa - that is absolutely beautiful.

She's gorgeous! I can only hope mine's that nice when she's finished!

haha, its a boy Oiluj..

but yeah, he is my cool little dude...

update, car was loaded today, on the way to my house!!

Car arrives tomorrow...I really do not think I will be able to sleep tonight!

Ok, Stephen, here we are two days after the scheduled delivery date. What's the latest?
