Well thanks to Horseless Carriage my baby arrived yesterday. Just in time for a clean this weekend. It had some good company in that truck... A Cayman S, a Bently Continental GT Convert., S class mercedes, 335i, and a Porsche 550.

But overall, watching the truck 'birth' my baby was more than worth the wait!

When I first saw here, notice the merc below me.

the light of day.. ahh how sweet it is.

almost on the ground!

touchdown!

Now, after a long search and wait, my baby is home...

more pics to come after I get her washed!

an update...car starts and drives wonderfully. The paint is good, but there are some dull spots, that I made a half hearted attempt to clean up. I think I can get more shine out of her with an orbital, at least for 5-7 years, then I will probably paint her .

Interior is just a flawless as I recall. I am sure I will find things to nitpick about, but so far, I have not stopped smiling!

I have to go get it inspected, but I have the insurance, title, and bill of sale ready.

We should plan to meet up sometime soon. I would love to see yours!

Garage is mostly set up now...

I took the liberty of removing the 240Z stickers. I think I like it clean like that.. pics to come soon!

Wow, looks beautiful just like it rolled off the showroom floor! Love the color!

Just keeps on getting better and better looking. That silver with clear lights is simply gorgeous. Can we see some interior shots when you get the time?

Enjoy her! Have you thought of a name yet?

That is a very nice car you have picked up very useable a tasteful good job in removing the transfers, each to their own but it now looks like a sports car and not a jazzed up 70's car ,only my opinion .None the less it is a beauty.

What is the difference between a "sports car" and a "jazzed up 70's car"?

Isn't the Z a sports car? (Actually IMO by definition I believe it's more narrowly and better described as a Grand Touring car I would think- depending how it's being used.)

I like it much better without the decals as well. I have an extra set the previous owner included, so if I ever feel the need to reapply them I can. But at this point, I dont see that happening.

I am itching to get it on the road and stretch its legs a bit. All the neighborhood cruising is great and all, but I want to see how she behaves at speed. I have taken her to 5k so far and the engine seemed to enjoy being reved. I don't plan on abusing her, but she should be able to hit redline reliably, if not, then I will start with timing and then some carb work. Let the fun begin!
