JLPurcell Posted July 18, 2017 Share #29 Posted July 18, 2017 Have removed the seats, old carpets and felt (and mouse nests). Took some photos, it does have a couple of soft spots on the floor and in the spare tire well, but overall the floors are sound. I believe that the car has potential, but I am not sure it is a project that I will complete. The car is complete in all of the hard to find parts and a true one owner example, but it has been neglected for 34 years. I will try and get the engine to turn over and the rear brake drums free, then make a final decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grannyknot Posted July 18, 2017 Share #30 Posted July 18, 2017 Looks very restorable and nice blue vinyl too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warty Posted July 18, 2017 Share #31 Posted July 18, 2017 I have a 1970 240z, and I think it came originally with blue vinyl. From your pictures, I *think* that car has black plastic trim. (maybe just dark and/or dirty though?). Can you confirm the trim piece colors for the rear deck etc.? Trying to figure out if I need to acquire blue trim pieces or not. I know they exist, but maybe only for later cars? Or maybe that owner replaced his at some point. The doglegs look blue in this car though. In my car, those are black too (currently anyway). If you part it out (and that look really unrestorable, now that I look at it ;-), I'm interested in a few things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can go to your local professional paint vendor and they can color match the blue and mix up paint with plastic additive. You would want to match the back side of the trim pieces where the plastic has not been exposed. I will post a photo of a plastic trim piece tomorrow and the back side to give you a good idea of what the color looks like originally. The blue plastic rivets are still available. The dog legs still have the protective plastic covering, never removed from the dealership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warty Posted July 18, 2017 Share #34 Posted July 18, 2017 Thanks. My trim pieces are all black, so I don't have anything to match against for the paint. Aside from the dogleg and I think the "rear trim" piece, I think I can still get blue trim pieces online. Dogleg probably needs a professional upholstery shop I would guess. My rear trim piece isn't from a 1970 240Z anyway, so if I find one, I think that's one I'll have to paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted July 18, 2017 Share #35 Posted July 18, 2017 Looks like it has a hand throttle that was added at some time too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
