It must have been 1989 I looked at a beautiful 72 in this color combo with my dad. They wanted $700 then but it had a bad front rack. My dad said no. Few years latter go a rusty 70 for the same $700.

December 3, 20177 yr comment_536538 I think restoring it to factory Green with a white interior would be beautiful.. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/59086-new-find70-240z/?&page=2#findComment-536538 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the green also, but the BABY POOP, oops BUTTERSCOTCH BROWN is for secretaries! Black interior is the only one that suits the car to me.

December 7, 20177 yr comment_536891 I also just bought a 1970 Z, #509. Very complete unmolested. It has the same wheels as your white one but I was assuming those were aftermarket and thought the car originally came with regular wheels and hubcaps. Which is correct? p.s I'm new to the 240z community and have many questions.

These are Dealer option Wheels.When you buy the Z, the dealer sell you these wheels to make money,and that time not everybody care about hupcaps. Congrats on the rare find,but again we need to see a picture.

December 8, 20177 yr comment_536929 A couple of weeks ago, I bought #5305 built 6/70. I'm curious if your car has the hand throttle? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/59086-new-find70-240z/?&page=2#findComment-536929 Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I wish....the PO replaced the whole middle console with 72 240Z with only one choke lever. Mine is a 7/70 built date......I am in hunt for a early 70 middle console complete... I found some but they want as much as I paid for the Z???!!!

December 8, 20177 yr comment_536935 I wonder if they did that because they swapped the transmission? I did that on my '71 because the PO added the later style transmission and the '72 console didn't require cutting.
