Hi All,

I bought my Z a few months ago and have been doing some work on it. I have used this forum for info and product info. I have found it very informative.

I am the third owner of this 1970 Z, HLS30-06389. I pretty much bought it as you see it. Owner 2 bought it in 72 and had kept it in his garage most of its life. It has 54,293 miles on it, with a few mods and changes, nicely done though IMHO.

Anyway glad to be on board here and I hope I can contribute something other than my two cents.

Happy Turkey Day!!

Oh my! It has Pirelli P7-F's on it!! How old ARE those tires? Any sign of weather-checking?

Thanks zlady,

Hey Arne,

This should answer that question.

I looked again and I see no checking, the tires are gummy and hold pressure.

I took this one pic to ask about the wheels. The seller said they were Per Spec. a dealer option with the car. He was quite excited about them. I have looked on the web and can't find anything.

Ever hear or them?

Welcome to the club!

Love the car Dave. Definitely different and the mods look to be well executed. Those wheels look great as well.

Easy one first. The mags that he called "Per Spec" were made by "Performance Specialties", and were a very common dealer installed brand on the West Coast, especially in California. Yours are very nice shape, but note that replacement center caps are not available, so don't lose them.

If the Pirellis were bought in 1990 as the invoice shows, then a.) they must have been some of the very last P7s that Pirelli made; and b.) being almost 20 years old I wouldn't trust them for anything more than puttering around town. P7s were a high performance tire, and the carcasses were not designed for longevity. If it were me, much as I love seeing these truly period correct performance tires on the car, I'd plan to replace them forthwith. Will be a bit of a problem finding similar sizes these days, unfortunately.

Hi Bro! Love those Black Z's and those Silver rims set it off nicely . Arnes right, searce for a thread called "who has a set of these" with Performance Specialties as your 2 searce words and read that. Lots of info on the company but not your rims. Wheels on mine are Per Spec but believed to be American Racing "GT Model" as Specs, I was told, was just a distributor.
