Hi Gang:

Rick Lapp, a friend, IZCC Member #10474 and Suncoast Z Car Club member passed away recently. Jim Frederic and I are helping Rick's widow sell his Z's.

Rick had a super nice Silver, 1974 260Z that he had owned since 1975 and equally nice White 94 300ZX A/T with about 87K miles.

Rick's Silver 260Z is street stock - with 240-Z bumper swap, upgraded engine performance, S.U.swap, 5spd and NOS OEM 3.9 R200. You can see the full description on E-Bay. This is a super nice 260Z, lovingly cared for that you could buy at a very reasonable price. One that you could feel free to drive across the Country. {anything this Z needed was done, usually ahead of time}.

The Buy-It-Now is set at $12,500.00 for a quick sale and I feel that is a bargain in todays dollars.

EBay Item number for the 260Z: 280294717288

These Cars are also For Sale Locally - so if you are interested, or know someone that would give these Z Cars the love and care they have always had in the past - don't hesitate.

FWIW,

Very sorry to hear about Ricks passing. Really nice person meet him at the ZFEST in Orlando. Take my word the car is a beauty !!!!!! He was meticulas in its care !!!!!

I'm sorry to hear about Rick. I met him @ the ZCCA in Daytona he pulled up behind me at the hotel and we talked for quite awhile waiting to check in. the car is beautiful. Carl and Jim your doing a great thing for his wife.

Carl is absolutely right that Rick's car is a bargain at $12500. One would spend almost twice this amount if done in todays dollars plus the time one would save doing it. Rick's has invested a lot of time and money in new parts to make this car as perfect as possible. This car needs nothing except a good home and will definitley make the next owner happy and proud.

A couple of people have contacted me on this since the E-Bay auction ended - so I thought I'd better update the listing. Rick's 260Z has found a new home...

thanks to everyone for spreading the word...

Carl B.
