I dropped off the 240Z carcass at the scrap metal dealer this morning. This was a one-owner vehicle I acquired this past weekend. All of it's life was spent on the east coast with some time in the northeast area. It started out in silver paint, got an awful mercedes gold spray job then finally a burgandy coat. It was an automatic with a/c. Lots good mechanical parts came off and not one bolt (save for the body panels) were seized. The owner had parked her with a poly tarp and then a car cover outside for storage for years. Needless to say, the road salts and sweating took it's toll. The rust was horrific. There wasn't one bit of salvagable sheet metal. I had been contacted weeks ago to see if it had restore potential. I had hopes until I pulled into that driveway. Too sad. The fella had a photo album and a family history with the car. I'll be listing bits over in the parts area from this and other spares I've collected.

Kinda depressing....but what can you do? Sometimes its your only choice.

Look on the bright side, ours are worth just a little bit more today, Here's to 41780.........
