Forgot to introduce myself

[bpilati]

Hi, I almost forgot to introduce myself. I came here from the Internet Z Car Club mailing list, when the diversity among members became so great we decided that we needed our own forum just for early Z cars. So I've been here a little while, and apologize for not doing this sooner.

I purchased my 71 240Z in Nov 1992, and am the third owner. This Z was originally purchased at what I believe is now Coulter Nissan in Glendale, AZ (different location). I think it was called Valley Nissan or something before (have to check paperwork). A USAF officer then purchased it used and brought it to VA in the late 1970's. It's been in paintship prison now for over two years, and finally got painted. It's in assembly mode now. The only body modifications I will make are the addition of a BRE front spoiler and 432 rear spoiler.

I saw my first Z in 1971 at Pence-Briggs Datsun in Richmond, VA when my parents were buying a 510 4-dr sedan. Strangely the 510 was the same 920 Safari Gold as my Z is. I think maybe I caught the bug then.

It's always interesting to hear how owners connected with their '71 Zs. How long until it's back on the road?

It took 11 years and over 1,000 posts to introduce yourself? Talk about shy.

Hey, I haven't introduced myself, either. I'm trying to get to 2000 posts or so. Then maybe I won't sound so much like a newbie.
