Clean convertible 240Z

[motorman7]

I pulled up next to this 1972 240Z last Saturday.  This is probably one of the best looking convertible Z's I have seen.  Most look pretty bad.  This one at least is reasonable.  Anyway, just had to take a pic before the light changed.  I would like to see what the undercarriage support looks like.

[wheee!]

Lot's of body work going on there....

and they had a trunk lid! Most delete the trunk entirely...

You can enjoy watching the door gap seams on the car open and close as it navigates over a speed bump at the local 'Cars and Coffee'.

The one I had loads of reinforcement and a small roll gage with lots of gussets. I had a VeloRosa. What i did like about it, is they didn't try and pass it off as a fake Ferrari, but more of a Kit car.  It was one of things I had to buy. I still can't believe I only paid $3600 for it.  Sold it and bought a very nice 4x4 with the profits.

Yeeeeeeaaah I'm with you! These 1 off "CONVERSIONS" if you will, seem to take away more than they add. Seems to ruin a beautiful design. At first glance I didn't even know it was a Datsun. I one one in SOCAL years ago and felt the same then. Too bad to ruin such a nice machine.

[wheee!]

Even the 370Z roadster looks awkward. Guess I'm a coupe guy.

ZTherapy used to sell a how to dvd on the convertible Z top. Included where to find materials and rear deck lid. I believe it was from a Triumph model. IIRC.

I have those videos and I have a triumph top in the shop waiting on the right candidate. I like convertibles and if it's done well, I think the aesthetics can work, at least for me...

You can still get the kit. I forget the company name before ztrix
