Low Vin 240z, is this a good thing?

[jaywis]

Hi, today I bought another 240z as the one I have was really too far rusted to repair. So now I am fixing up this 1970 240z and I will use my other z for any parts I may need. Now the interesting part is my Vin number is 000566, is this a good thing? does it make the car more collectable? i plan to do a proper restoration over the next couple months.

here are a couple pics, it even has the D hubcaps:classic:

Hey there. Now that looks to be a good find.

More pictures?

Excellent find. Needs a lot of work, but many would be envious.

Looks pretty nice for a car from up north. I think there is some value to a nicely restored low VIN car, but I think it is more important that you make it the car YOU want it to be. Just be sure to save all of those original parts (including those hubcaps) for the future owner.

Wish I could do a restoration in a couple of months. 2 1/2 years in so far and I still need about another year!

A couple of months seemed a little short on time to me as well.

Now don't rain on his parade... Maybe he has $20k sitting in the bank waiting for something to spend it on...

Personally it took me five years to get my Z operational, and I still have to tweek it and fix my earlier mistakes every winter. But I know that there are people out there who are way better at repairing cars than I am.

Well, "Overhaulin" does it in 7 days so a good crew and a couple months.........don't see why not, but $$$$$$$.

Save your time and money and just buy mine

Good luck on your project, nice find.

Yes, this is a good thing - very good thing.

congratulations and yes! i'd say it brings up the value of the car. Is your's a 12/69? It's funny that yours is 566 because mine is 655 also in need of full resto.

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback, today was a busy day of deconstruction. I have new floors and rockers coming in the next day or two so i hope to get thise on before the weekend. I still have to remove the rear diff and tank. This is my 5th Datsun z car so i know where the nuts and bolts are at.
