I don't think I would've included that first picture.

Maybe he thought he needed before-and-after reference, but when the barn find is admission of your own storage practices ...

Yeah, he says he parked it in his garage. 

Apparently he moved to a different house?

Interesting to see the list of dealer "add-ons" that jacked the price nicely.  Goes to show how hot sales were for the Z in those days.  Pay over sticker price, pay for dealer add-on items, or go on a waiting list to get a bare bones model.  I was one of the "pay over sticker price" buyers in 1971.

That would be a standard example of a time capsule, or survivor car.  He should left the dust and grime on, and just clear coated it.

He would have left the dust and grime on it, but he must have read somewhere that 240Z prices are going up. He must owe quite a bit to his crack dealer, too.

The tires must have been brand new in 1995.  23 years ago.  Should be able to knock $10,000 off the price with that info.

The dash looks great.  I wonder how fragile everything is though.  Will it turn in to normal Z dust as soon as somebody starts using it.

Clear coat over bird s h i t.  That'd be a first for my eyes.

 Back then some of us got hooked on Z's before we even drove one. To that end, we did whatever had to be done to get one ASAP. I payed 73 sticker price for a used 71 in 73. One of the best decisions I ever made.

I paid sticker price for my 72 Z at Continental Auto in Great Falls MT. The car was completely stock. $ 4,144.00. Still have my Z. I did not have a choice of color. 110 red with white interior was all that came in the day they said come and get it. First time I saw a Z was in Texas at a self car wash in 1970. I was smitten. I was headed to Thailand in the Air Force. 1 year 4 months later I got my Z. Happy times for sure.
