I was in the garage working on my Jeep, looked over to the Z with all the dust on it and thought "I've got to get this sold".. Much as I hate to do it the sweet Z must go. I've had it since 1981 but haven't done anything with it for at least 5 years. I'm getting too old and enjoy offroading too much to do any justice with the Z. Will be a bad day when it goes from my life - just love that car to pieces.

A sad day indeed. Even though it was almost 3 years ago it brought me to tears. I haven't been on this site for a while but I was planning another trip to the Northwest and was trying to contact Enrique to plan a visit with him. Now that won't happen for some time. I could kick myself in the arse for not thinking about seeing him back a few years ago when I was up there. RIP Enrique. Bill

I'm getting set to sort of retire soon and haven't done anything with the Z for a long time. I'm more in to off-roading now and may sell my 71. Photos in my gallery... thoughts?

You are on your way!

I am a bad boy! I intended to post up these photos shortly after the event in Daytona. I was labeling each with owner names. Sometime later before completing the task my computer crashed. All this time I thought the photos were gone forever. My wife found them (copy) on her drive. Sooooo...as soon as a moderator approves them they will be available under my name (billcapp) in the ZCCA folder unless the mod is kind enough to provide a direct link (hint, hint). If I come across the notebook with the info as to whos car is whos I will add the info later (promise not in two or three years). Please enjoy and don't be afraid to add your name to the photo if you see yours!

Ditto Bruce Palmer

I've pondered bringing my Z for many months but I think it is not show worthy, but I'll be there and taking a full load of photos.

)... and the second picture is me on the left... Carl understands with age comes dyslexia!

After I take my baby out for a little spin and my wife asks "How did it run?", with a smile I think of how I really drove it (fast) and I reply " Still hums like a sewing machine." He He He

What's wrong with a motel?

Welcome to the site. As I also have a 71 that has every bolt touched I know her pretty well. If I can ever help just PM me. Sorry about the snow job in your part of the woods. Have a nice Christmas. Bill

I'm looking for a good hatch- photos and price?

I have had minor problems with running a little warm, added AC and need to cool better. Changed radiator, changing AC compressor to newer style, adding fan shroud to improve my 71.

Welcome Laura... Maybe we'll see you at the big show coming to Orlando.

Being a 73 is OK...I'm not the expert here but make sure it doesn't have the flat top carbs...I know the 260Z had them but I don't know when Datsun started using them. Also look in the battery tray for rust and under the floor carpeting for floor pan rust. Sorry I couldn't help more but welcome to the club!

My 8/71 originally white ( white 904) had the same treatment...kind of sloppy, but without it, it would have looked funny.
