I remember this car from a few months ago. I guess he's going to pass it on.

If I had the extra garage space and could get a deal I'd go out on a limb and buy it. Looks ok I guess?

Why does he think it's a series one? Even so, if the rust isn't too bad it wouldn't be too bad a deal with the parts car also.

:bulb:Wikipedia,states that series 1 went till mid 71..........

The Wiki is wrong - Series I ended sometime in Jan 71

Hi Carl.....I have a May 71 with the early console, angular half shafts/ short drive shaft, no vents in the tailgate, vertical defrost, E 31 head, "A" tranny and no 240z on pillars........all original. I understand that it's a transitional car. What is it? A series one or series two? It's the gold car I brought to ZCON. Guy

I have a question for Mr Beck and any other early Z enthusiast. I'm going through a '77 280 and having the time of my life, drinking beer and working on the car. I'm kind of worried when I get down I'll miss the work more than enjoying the ride, plus I'm not quitting the beer so I need another project to keep out of the jailhouse. Is this car something I might pursue for a later project? I could store it in a barn of my Dad's then it would be a "barn find" for me later. It's very close to me, I guess I should go and check it out and snap some pictures of the interior and motor huh?

I realize that's about as clear as mud (I've been working on the 280). What I'm asking is would it be a desirable car and worth restoring?

So it's a series II. This '77 whipped my butt today. There's not enough beer in Alabama for me to take on an older car.

Snap some pics of your 77......we can't help much w/o seeing what you got. You're right....I'm always a little distressed when the restoration is done! A beer toast to you! Good Luck
