  1. So the first Z that will have no number attached to it. Reminds me of "New Beetle", eek. Hopefully the outcome will be better than VW's. A theory though. In todays environment with this generations inability to latch onto something and stick with it, maybe there has been a paradigm shift to where no matter the product, the attention span of a flea will be the downfall of many great products. There are a few cars that were supposed to make a splash, but fizzled.
  2. The screens are not called for in this car. Maybe the center stack one is with everyone having to be "connected", but the cluster should have been analog.
  3. Finally something other than yellow.
  4. Since the door with the 260 badge is the same color as rest of the car, I'm guessing this was done several decades ago when they probably "all looked alike" after some kind or respray or repair.
  5. I would make it 7 just in case.
  6. Same. I havent watched the news in almost 10 years, and now its getting to the point you cant even read it. You seem to do what I adopted about 2 years ago. Go out to the shop, put come CDs in, mow the grass, etc etc. Keep the faith and still go to the ballot box. America is going through a cultural revolution, albeit a weak one, this will pass, or collapse under its own weight.
  7. I never saw that request, my apologies. I for one cant stand the political rhetoric with this, but the previous post describing two locations and the stark contrast has everything to do with politics.
  8. Lets not disregard the political aspect of this pandemic. In Florida, the Governor dropped the mask mandate months ago and left it to the Mayors. Miami (Dem) kept lockdowns in place, certain percentages in bars, restaurants. Jacksonville (right of center sort of) did away with all restrictions soon after the Governor dropped his mandates. Ashville is utra Liberal. California, Maryland and the likes were all pushing some kind of restriction in lockstep with most Liberal centers. Not at all am I stoking a political discussion to be beaten like a dead horse, but there is definitely merit to the Left vs. Right aspect. Also note, after the mandates were dropped in Florida, the difference between lockdown States and free States were not far different in cases and deaths.
  9. "Hung up on some clown from the 60s man"
  10. One things for sure, the pandemic has created enemies and allies. Vaccine or not to vaccine. So what is the mortality rate of covid? I know several people who were asymptomatic, so how many people had it but didnt know it and never got tested? So if millions upon millions are positive with covid and dont know it, the mortality rate is definitely not what being reported, it would have to be a whole bunch better, no? Deaths against cases, right? Well how many cases are there?
  11. Hopefully it was done back when that was a thing to do. Its like taking the V12 out of a Jag XJS and putting in a 350 Chevy.

  14. One day we'll all look back on what this did to society and as an individual. I traveled extensively around the world during the 2009 swine flu (over a billion suspected cases), and no place, even China where the worst death rates were did people treat one another poorly. Some people wore masks, most didnt, yet no one scolded, belittled, brow beat anyone, ever. So from 2009 till now, we all have reduced ourselves to 8th graders, pitting one group against the other. Why? My mother taught me is you dont have anything nice to say, they stay quiet.
  15. Rest in peace Ned Beatty.
  16. No masks since a long time ago in Florida, its been pretty normal. No mask mandates, bars restaurants operating normally like nothing happened. Even went into a medical facility and wasnt required to put a mask on.
  17. Yeah, you definitely have the monkey on your back. I did this back about 20 years ago, but mixed in a few Beetles. But then a really nice 240z driver was $3000, and my 1.0 didnt have much tolerance for it, but 2.0 told me to go get the 1970. I think I'll keep her. I still keep and drive old VW's as well as the Zcars, but just Oval window mid 50s cars. The cool part is, after collecting parts for the last almost 30 years I can support restoring them without having to hunt down $100 gas caps and $900 deck lids. I knew there was a method to my madness (sickness).
  18. I have a 73 I'm a third through currently on a rotisserie, I never intended to get this project, but the price was right, I had to do it. I'm up to my armpits in ZCars and parts. I building a shed next to my shop to create an annex.
  19. No, it was in the Florida panhandle. Been eyeing this car for a few years, really didnt have room for it, but where theres a will theres a way. Maybe I need the one in N. Alabama........like a new hole in the head.
  20. 1/70 Car was painted really well, BUT, the body of the car has a few areas of bubbling and a little funkyness to it on the roof, sides, and rear valance, going to have to strip it down. I'm guessing where the body work was done wasnt prepped correctly. Doors, hood and all the other parts have no issues. So it will take some time.
  21. Just acquired HLS30-960 restoration already in progress. The car has been sitting for about 10 years after paint and body and is really nice shape. All the original parts are with the car. Original 904 white was applied, and due to many extra interior parts that came with the project, it was either blue or black interior. My plan it to put the blue interior in it. Dash has two small cracks that will have to be dealt with.
