Posted July 14, 201311 yr comment_427633 After owning an original 1971 240Z from 1971 to 1981 and then selling it (regretted even since) due to our son's car seat not fitting in it (back deck), I recently purchased a 1971 240Z that is very original. I bought the car from an engineer in Washington State and then drove it home to Colorado! It was a 1250 mile 3 day beautiful drive (although hot without A/C) and the new Z ran smoothly all the way. It has beautiful red (repaint with original 1971 Red Datsun color shade) paint and a "dealer option installed" black folding (material replaced) moon/sun roof. If anyone has any further info or website forum threads on this type of roof, please let me know. I think they were fairly uncommon. I'm very excited to drive this "new" Z car around the countryside and mountains near my Colorado home and in also learning much more about the Z cars and conversing with other Z car enthusiasts via this Website.

July 15, 201311 yr comment_427640 Durango is an awesome place to enjoy a Z, the drive to Silverton, Ouray then to Telluride is one of my favorites.

July 15, 201311 yr comment_427655 It might be a weathershield brand, I had one on a car that I was going to restore but had a way to much rust once I took it apart. It turned into a parts car. Your car is very nice. here is a link to when I asked about mine. I wonder if the car that is talked about is yours? http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/interior-s30/28490-weathershields-sunroof.html Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/46972-back-to-the-future-1971-datsun-240z/#findComment-427655 Share on other sites More sharing options...
