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.

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!

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!
