I have heard of a fellow who has a rusted out piece of junk. But he is restoring it and I am sure it will great when he is done with it. $70,000.00 later. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

That's true you know. Steve shouldn't judge he should just particpate.

Many people drive their Z cars to Ski Resorts to go sking. Haven't you seen them. They are all over the place. Mostly on the side of the road skidded in toa snow bank.

Well! You don't have to get huffy about it Stevey.

I can tell ya that Mike had a good idea. If the topic went off the subject as the Admin he has the right to add his own topic there Steve don't ya think if you give it some time to think about. And a damn good thread he started. Join in the fun there Steve the water isn't that cold. Don't make it that way.

Hey Darn glad to see ya. Tell us what it might be.

There's a guy in Florida that knows more about 240z cars then any one I think in the Country. I think some of you including 26 learned much of what they know from him. His name is Bob Fredericks and I think he is somewhere near Orlando or points north. If you can get a hold of him he will probably know. I have been told he has the finest collection of Z cars in the world and he is considered the preeminent expert on Z Cars in the United States. Suppose to be a great guy.

I emailed the guy and he doesn't have any.

Don't like any of them. The Datsun 240z came with a factory mirror that suits the design of the car. Why change them? Just don't get it.

Yes I do like the car Bad Dog. I just think the mirrors don't go with the car but then if you asked me about the wheels I would say the same thing. To each his own. If it was my car and of course it isn't I would turn the tires around so the lettering is on the inside and put the original hubcaps back on. Now I know this isn't the point of your thread that is the wheels but I am a purist at heart. The original mirros are a pain in the neck I must admit and they are hard to use but they look right in my judgement. Now the stripe I like and years ago many 240zs had stripes on them. Black and white do kudos for your choice there my man, makes the car look great.

I knew about this for over a month. I don't think there will be any loss at all with him gone. Quite frankly when I had issues with product that they got wrong and I needed to speak with him about it I rarely ever got a call back and couldn't get him on the phone. His position there was as a manager type and I believe they will do better with out him. Yeah he was at the shows but basically just to sell things. I didn't see all that much support. Actually I think they have a problem with the National show since they have their own. No big loss and you know everyone is replaceable. I don't know about Abraham I kinda think Aaron should have taken over.

I have read the other points of view and I must say that you may have changed my mind a bit. I see that you mentioned Motion Cars and my friend owns an original Chevy Motion car maybe one of 5 left and it is worth well over 1/2 million dollars. I will do my due dilligence about original Scarabs.

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't there aversion of those mirrors on the original Fairlady up on the fenders. Oh and BTW it was 1971, try to find anyone back then that didn't at least smoke a reefer or two.

I must say I like the mirrors up on the fenders but I would never put them there on my car. I love my car. When I look at it it reminds me of days gone by. Memories flood back in. Where I was what I was doing who I was with, how much pot I was smoking. Great era, great time. Billet Mirrors would ruin the whole thing for me.

I was taught an early age that honesty is the best policy. I was also taught that you have nothing nice to say don't say it at all. Buy you did ask " wudya think " So I must tell you. I like your car and i don't like the mirror at all. I think you should remove it. Hope I didn't ruin it for you. Just my opinion.
