Greetings Fellow Z enthusiasts!

I've been lurking ever since I purchased my 76 280Z about this time last year.  I figured it was high time I finalized my account and joined in.  You have already been very helpful with various posts and how to articles.  I really enjoy being a part of a dedicated and enthusiastic community of like minded individuals.

Attached is a picture of my new (to me) toy.  She is a 1976 model year 280Z (manufactured 9/75).  This was a very well taken care of one owner car.  Aside from a few unique touches the previous owner had installed she is a true survivor with original paint, motor and interior.  I've been refreshing some wear and tear items with either new or used factory parts.  I am on the look out for a few items and will likely travel to Carlisle PA next year.  Not many parts to be had in New England.

Cheers!

 Welcome to the club. Your Z is beautiful. Rarely do we see one with original paint that looks that good. Congratulations on a rare find. What parts are you looking for? Lots of parts here in the NW.

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your kind words.  I feel very fortunate to have located this car.  I had looked on and off for years after driving one that was for sale some twenty years ago and not having funds at the time to purchase.  I had plans to swap the bumpers and such, but have decided to keep it as is.  I have the dealer installed alloy wheels in my shed, which are in fantastic shape, but decided for the 16 inch ones I have now.

I created a post in the wanted forum which I will add too as I go through some of the spare parts I've acquired over the past year.

 

Cheers!

That's a great looking Z, love the colour. There was a thread happening recently about pushing in those bumpers for a sleeker look,

and you might have a look at this as well,

 

Be sure to join Z Car Club of New England! Great club!

grannyknot , Thank you for those links.  I am looking into that now.

Matt, Your car looks beautiful. Welcome to the party!

I just posted a couple new pics in that bumper thread.

I usually make it to Carlisle, so if you are going, make sure we can get together while we're there.

Larz Anderson - Japanese car and Bike day 10/16 10am to 3pm - big turn out of Zs

 

@Captain Obvious I will be sure to reach out.  I definitely plan on being there.

@gnosez Thank you for the link, I was wondering about Larz Anderson, if there is a big turn out, I think I know what I am doing that weekend.

 

As the President of the ZCCNE, let me personally welcome you to the local Z community. Our members did very well at the recent ZCON in Toronto and we look forward to seeing you (and your Z) soon.

Your car looks great! I'll be at Carlisle with several vendor spaces selling Z parts.
