I first spoke to Dave at Dallas Car Care in 2012, he was rebuilding the car for his own use. He sounded like he wanted to do the build correctly, rather than slap the car together and resell. You are very fortunate to have bought the 240Z, there were several people interested in it.

Hey Burl. I am in Pflugerville but close to Austin, Round Rock, and Georgetown. Tomorrow is the monthly meeting of the Capital Z of Texas club. I received the reminder email this morning. I never go since it is in south Austin but if you are in the area you should check it out. A good group of guys are part of it.

"Come join us for our monthly meetings. We are meeting at Pok-E-Joe’s in Brodie Oaks Shopping Center (intersection of 360 and Lamar). Enjoy happy hour at 6:00PM and talk shop before the meeting at 7:00PM. Meetings are the 4TH Monday of every month."

Thank you for the info Zed! I knew a lot of time and money had been spent on the car already. It was actually on the Dallas Craigslist and my wife and I went up last weekend to go look at it with hopes of buying it and driving it back home. Unfortunately Dave and I could not come together on the deal as he said he had buyers offering more than his asking price at the time. I followed up last Monday only to learn it was still for sale and the other buyers could not come up with the money. We came to an agreement over the phone on the price and the rest is history. He is a nice guy and is now restoring the first car he ever owned, a '71 yellow 240z. I spoke with him this afternoon and they already had the suspension off and was planning to have everything stripped off the body so they could send it off to the body shop.

Jeff,

Congratulations on your new Z! Looks like you'll have a fun summer! I'd also like to see how Dave's yellow 240Z turns out considering how nice your car is looks.

I like it. Very very clean. For those of you who know Jeff, here's his last Z that I purchased from him last fall. Right now it sits at a Datsun performance shop. Head work done, 260/270 Schneider cam, head ported and waiting on Z22S pistons for a 2.960 liter stroker build. She'll be a brand new Z

Curtis has done some awesome work on my old lime green 240z. Its not lime green anymore and it is worlds ahead from when I had it. I am very happy to see it went to a loving home

Thank you Kenobi! Once I get through my small to-do list on it the new Z will certainly have some miles put on it. I got the title transferred this week so it is really mine now.
