That's pretty impressive that you relocated your car after 30 years. As of about 5 years ago I still knew the owner of my very first truck, but other than that every vehicle I've gotten rid of is long gone. Of course none of my vehicles have been worth tracking down again. I did have a 77 Jeep CJ5 that I really loved in highschool, but I have no reason to dig it up again since my grandfather has a 79 CJ7 that is in better condition that he will give to me whenever I am ready for it.

Good to meet 'ya George. A daily driver is probably the best bet for me. I'm not really interested in a major tear down and rebuild (been there, done that on a past project). I really want a good car that will serve as a base for minor modifications so that maybe I can get into a little racing.

We are actually from the Lubbock area. So when we do come back, we are aiming for somewhere in that part of Texas. Although we may end up having to head to one of the big cities where jobs are more plentiful.

Glad to hear that the Z's can survive out here in the salt air. Just looking around I haven't really seen many since I left Texas. It has made me a little nervous that they are going to be tough to find in Florida.

The Air Force has my wife and I stationed out here in Florida, 1500 miles away from our real home in Texas. I am glad to find an active Z community out there. I searched around the internet and found several forums with the latest comments made over a year ago! I've been interested in the early Z-cars off and on since I was very young, but never bought one. Now I'm finishing up a boat rebuild that I started this spring in hopes of selling it with a decent profit in early 2009. Once I grab that little chunk of change I really want to start into a 280z project that I can keep over the long term. Anyway, I'm looking forward to learning all I can about these cars before I dive in to a project head first. JB
