New Z Owner

[VaCat33]

Hello

I am a new 240z owner. I won an auction on BaT back on 2/9 and the car arrived here just a couple of weeks ago. The car was the orange 72...pretty much all original and it was as advertised by the former owner. Attached is a photo as it came off the trailer. In the first couple of shake down drives most things seem in order. I have already acquired a set of stock hub caps and I am looking for a set of stock wheels...a 2/72 date would be really nice. 

I am not totally new to Z’s but it has been a long time. I owned an orange 72 240 back in 72 and a 260 from 74-80. I had been looking for the right car for a few years now. Buying a car without looking at it was a bit scary but the community comments on BaT gave me some confidence.

I look forward to enjoying my Z and meeting any owners from Northern VA. I also look forward of being a member of this forum.

Thanks

Jim

Welcome, and great looking car.   Looks good with the ARE Libre's.  When you acquire the steel wheels, don't drive it too far with those original wheel covers on.

I've heard that many times in my life.

Nowadays though everyone wants to know if I'm related to Stormy Daniels.

I tell them she's my ex.

i sent in my application to Z Car Club of Northern VA. I sent along a check but I have not heard anything back. It has been over a month. Any POC’s for the club? I also visited their FB page but there is no option to join the group...at least not that I could see. Their website seems defunct. Hope it all works out...but they sure make it difficult.

Thanks

Jim
