Ah, the fun part.  I think I got .45 cents and a cough when I did mine!

No money

All I found was mouse droppings and bits of shag carpet, so I think you win!

that doesnt look bad at all. i think you scored

Looks like you found a good one,  interesting mount between the the front of the diff and the cross member, is that custom or maybe from a later model? It appears to be solid.

That is aftermarket. It is a solid one. 

More pics . I think I can save the floors and probably 98% of the original metal. Might be different when I get all the floor far off of there , but so far looks good. The chassis is really in amazing condition for a 70 or any early Z. Almost all the interior panels are good enough and any tears in the vinyl were small. This will be a very nice car for someone. I plan on doing a major refresh and selling . 

Hey that looks familiar

Interesting paperwork that came with the car shows the exchange of owners somewhere CA. BMV paper has statement from owner stating car was in storage from 1988-1996 - and at that time had 58k miles. Presently the odometer reads 59k miles. Looking over the car at every angle I would say the mileage probably could be correct , though no way to verify. I do have some names to try and seek out info. Accept for damage causing rust on the floor boards , this car is really clean. Only other damage I found besides the floor is the radiator core support was dinged somewhere in its life and I think I can dolly that straight. 

Cool. You going back with the original yellow?

Tough call . Since it's not a numbers matching car( no engine tag), not sure if color will make or break value. It is one of my least favorite colors , but it works well with original trim. Like to do something different and have lots of time to think about it.

Really like to do a black Z with white interior - but don't see any to compare . Or even crazier red interior . Just happy the car is so solid . 

Since i am likely not to keep it , I should go a stock configuration . Wish I could solicit a buyer first and build to their specs !

Black is a hard color to do because the metal work has to be spot on. Black with red interior could be cool, I can't image white will stay pristine for long. If you're gonna sell it, a factory color combination is probably the wisest
