  I like the OCD discussions about details. It's the Hoover in me.

Here's a little background music to play while you're Hoovering.

Got to have the spell checker too.

If a 240Z (HLS30) can hit six figures, this is one of them.  I saw this car at the convention in Syracuse.

I would agree

Are you talking about this forum?
If so, you might want to reserve your opinion until you are a little better acquainted with it.

I would echo this sentiment - this is one of my absolute favourite / friendly car forums and why I lurk a lot. Lots of very lovely people here.

Read Jason’s words in the spirit he meant them. Knowing him in person, he’s a very decent chap with a no nonsense attitude. He’s also a total connoisseur of Datsuns and Bimota bikes!!

Wow, that is one beautiful Z car..

This car is an inspiration to me as I start on my own restoration.  Astounding that this is a 25 year old restoration.

@motorman7 I like your "Where's Waldo" analogy to spotting items that may not be technically correct.  I had to look long and hard, but I found three. First I would comment that it feels petty even mentioning them on such an immaculate car but here they are anyway, please correct me if I am wrong.

- Later gas cap with bar type handle

- Later replacement alternator, should be "grapefruit style"

- Has series two dash with provision for cigarette lighter and on/off marking for hazard light switch

Again there so much to like about this car that these type of issues are eclipsed by what is right and its history.

Well, the car is up to $93K with 4 days left in the auction.....getting closer to breaking the $100K barrier! 

[Patcon]

Oh my! That didn't take long

Looks like it just broke 6 figures..

And... one has to love the originality of the bid amount!
