I've been enjoying this site and the assembled knowledge for too long without giving back. I don't have much , but I do have passion! I have 4 cars, 2 drive, 1 is in process, 1 is parts. My first ( in process) is a Aug/72 , 110 lime green. I'm putting in new floors, rear fender arches, vintage air, and of course new paint. My 2nd z is a Feb/77, 305, triple Webers, zx 5speed. The third was a parts car for the 77, but the engine wasn't locked up and it fired up with ether, so after strapping a 5 gallon gas can to the front and zip tying a fuel pump to it, we destroyed the rear tires doing donuts in our gravel lot! It is a Feb/78 color is still indeterminate. Here is an image of the 77 and 78.

I dig it! that green/silver car almost looks like it was sectioned together at a body shop

Hi Steve, the markings on your Z are familiar....459th Bombardment Squadron and the 459th Bombardment Group of the 15 Air Force stationed in Cerignola Italy during WW2. My dad was stationed there during the war flying in a B-24H. Any connection to this bomb group? Welcome aboard!

Thanks guys, the green and silver Z had a lot of mismatched panels so we stripped it and painted it with paint from Tractor Supply as a joke. The scheme is somewhat P-40 Warhawk and Redneck imagery. It's a rust bucket.

Robin, my dad was a crew chief for the Top Hatters in the 50s. Gave me a love of flight.

Hi Robin, I have a friend who was captured in North Africa and spent time in Italy as a prisoner. As the allies, advanced, he was taken North and eventually back to Germany. I bet he saw your dad's squadron up in the sky.

The checkered tail (yellow and black) is the tail marking for the 459th Bombardment Squadron, the shark teeth were added after they arrived in Cerignola.... very cool car in my eyes.

Any car that pays homage to our WWII heros makes me tip my hat. Bravo.
