AutoWeek posted an entertaining video history of the Z. See it here: https://tinyurl.com/y7u5vjqp Dennis

Looks better than new........and I remember what new looked like when I bought mine in 1971. Dennis

The BRE Spook is perfect. I put one on my 1971 Z in 1972. Available from BRE or from MSA. Dennis

What a great story this will be. Keep us posted. Dennis

I just checked one of the Lamborghini forums and the going rate mentioned in 2010 was $4,500. Might be a bit higher in 2017. Dennis

What's a new clutch & flywheel replacement job cost on a 2006 Lamborghini? Think the $1,200 daily rental fee would cover it? A sports car club I belonged to many years ago used to put on slalom events and one of the regular competitors would always show up with a different rental car each time. Dennis

Nice bus collection on the property. Do you have any pictures of the 240Zs and additional details, like model years? Prices seem low for "show quality", so I'm sure you'll get many responses. Dennis

There's a '67 VW Bug that rents for $300 on the list, also. Not sure that there's "fun to drive" equity figured into the pricing structure. Dennis

I got the email notification of the contest and it gives the option of using either the Nissan VIN or the pin # off a flyer they claim to have sent through the postal mail. Didn't get it, so may be SOL on this wonderful opportunity. Dennis

One set starting at $899 + $50 shipping from Thailand and the other set starting at $1,500 and $30 shipping from Georgia, I know which set I'd bid on unless I decided on a set of aftermarket covers from Japan for a much lower price. Dennis

Seller seems to like red paint. Dennis

That's pretty much it. It's the inconvenience one endures to live year round. in a resort community. Tourists work 50 weeks a year for the pleasure of coming here on vacation for two weeks. Actually, we have a vacation home in the nearby mountains and usually blow out of here on weekends throughout the year and totally for the months of July and August. This year was a little different with getting my mother-in-law moved out of her home of 60 years and helping our son move into his new home in Los Angeles. So, only two days, so far, at the lake home this summer/hell. Dennis

No apology needed for complaining about the weather. It all averages out. Think of me next January when you're turning up the thermostat and throwing another log in the fireplace to keep warm. It'll be 75º here and I'll be sitting in the back yard next to the pool wearing a t-shirt and shorts. Dennis

Normally, yes. But for the past month it has been VERY HUMID and that has jacked the heat index. Last Saturday, the actual temp was a seasonal 106º and the heat index (feels like) temp was 120º. Can't wait to see the next electric bill as we have two central AC units running pretty much 24/7. Dennis

Only 101º?!?!? My local heat index is currently 103º, which is a cooling trend from the 120º and above it's been for the last few weeks. Actually feels cool by comparison. Gotta love life in the desert in August. Dennis

If you end up going with a later Nissan mini-spare, please let me know year & model as I'd like to get one instead of a full sized spare. I've read a lot of vague references, in various threads, to what fits. Dennis

If you look at Hagerty's definition of a #4 car, it's a "daily driver with no parts missing". Not exactly what's pictured above. Those two are probably best left to return their natural elements to the earth. They appear to be about half way there. Dennis

3M double sided tape or a tube of silicone sealer. Dennis

My respect to anyone who takes them on as a roadworthy project. It's going to take more than a little rubbing compound and WD40. Dennis

Nice job! Looks like it worked well. I've only chemically stripped one car and found it had been painted four different colors over the years - a messy job. I did mine outside on the driveway. Dennis

Is it a five piece g-nose or one of the type with fewer pieces? You'll want to include the g-nose hood hinges if you sell. No headlight covers may knock the price down for some potential buyers. Dennis

Very nice. You brought out the original wood grain look quite nicely. Dennis

Mine hit, I trimmed a bit off of the console where it hit, and covered the new gap with the shift lever boot so it's not noticeable. Common problem solved....for me at least. Dennis

Nice, relatively accurate, article. I would have preferred pictures of a Z with stock wheels and hubcaps instead of aftermarket alloys. But, that's just me. Dennis

Let's poke holes.......the description says it has a 383 engine from a '71 Corvette under the hood. To the best of my knowledge, no '71 Corvette had a 383 engine - only 350 or 454 blocks. I suppose the right buyer with a pocket full of cash, for instance Kermit the Frog, might like the color and rear spoiler. Good luck to the seller and the buyer. Dennis
