Well,

On Friday I found 797 and today I just bought it. The car runs perfect and despite the pictures looks pretty good. It does need paint and some other minor work but shouldn't be too bad.

It has a new MSA 3-2 header, newer clutch, 14" Yokohama tires, and very clean interior. Will change the seat covers back to original as these have the velour insert. Has newer Z steering wheel that will be changed as well as the radio.

The dash is original with two small spots, otherwise is great shape.

Have the original block as well.

Only body damage is the rear valence near the exhaust, it needs to be repaired.

Production date is 1/70.....I really wanted to see a 1969 but not going to fret over it.

All in all a very solid car that just needs mainly paint and getting a few things back to stock...ie radio, arm rest removed, outside trim, etc.

I won't be picking it up till Friday as the shop needed to finish a few items, when I get her home I'll take a few more photo's.

Oh yea, RUST......just surface, we went through it today and found nothing major..........:laugh:

Z ya,

Randy

That's AWESOME Randy. Hate to ask how much you paid cause I know I'll probably put twice that amount into the 260Z I have, and it still won't be an early 240Z.

Dave.

Congrats Randy. I really like the blue interior on early cars.

Nothing like an injection of early "white on blue" to cure you of the feelings you had last week concerning your abilities. Congrats from another guy who is in love with that color combination.

I love that color combination...

Hope it all works out.

Very Nice! As others have said, I really like the blue interior.

Have the original block as well.

Hi Randy:

Don't forget to let me know what the serial number is.

Looks like you found a car in pretty nice shape - just by chance. Have any idea why the car was being sold or what it's background is?

good luck with it....

Carl B.

Congrats!

Is the blue interior a stock option?

I only recall ever seeing Black and Butter Scotch as factory installed interior colours.

Good stuff, Randy. Looks like a lot to work with.

Congrats!

Blue and red were offered with certain exterior colors.

White interiors were also available for some 72 and 73 exterior colors.

Hey Randy, you've got an early red dot mirror. I haven't seen one in a Jan 70 car before. I'll be interested to see what other early parts your car has.

-Mike

Thanks guys,

I'm looking forward to this project since I don't have to do much mechanical work......

In 1970 only the Universal Blue and Kilimanjaro White had the Blue interior....accourding to sources. In 1983 I had a 1970 Universal Blue on Blue, my favorite car I've ever owned but was sadly rearended and totaled.

Mike, what is a red dot mirror? I guess I should know this.....

Carl, picking the block up next week, I'll let you know.

I would have used the quote feature but couldn't figure it out.

I'll get some more info later today, including the history.
