Hi everyone! I have a highly original 71' 240Z which I purchased from the original owner about ten years ago. It's a beauty that is missing only one thing...the original wheel covers. My question is, what style would a 1971 240Z have...would they be red centers or with the "D" in the center? As a final question, is ANYONE out there selling a set of their steel wheels and wheel covers

Windows Phone app would be nice too =)

I love the color and I love how the L28 came out...gorgeous!

Should be a great event!

I feel your pain. My 71 got rear ended, right after I spent about $2k in mechanical upgrades. I was literally just driving it home from the shop straight home, and someone just had to reach for something in the back seat while i was sitting at the light =( Fix it and keep it going! These Z's are amazing and they deserve another lease on life!

Gas has been leaking from my 71' 240Z every time I fill it up fully...I went to go to my usual Z shop, ALT-Z, and they seem to have closed down If there is anyone who knows of a Z specialty shop in Southern California, I would greatly appreciate it! The smell of gas filling the house is becoming...tiresome to say the least!

Sell it to someone who will be motivated to get it working...hate to see these cars become even harder to find =/

Both cars look great, but I do love the fresh paint on the 73...very nice!

Awesome, great find!

This is by far the cleanest restomod I've ever seen on a Z...it's all been done properly!! Congratulations, you've got me dreaming about restoring my Z one day.

This looks like a lot of fun! My Z's engine and trans rebuild should be done well in time for this...hmm =)

Agreed guys, appreciate all your advice and knowledge, I will definitely post pics when the car is all done =)

No no I found a shop that does good work on these classics. The insurance actually recommended this SAME shop, and I met the shop's supervisor and the insurance agent. Both have owned several 240Z's over the years...the shop supervisor says he's going to fix the bondo work that was already there and use little to no bondo...I look forward to seeing what he can do.

Just a quick update...you guys were right about going to the insurance first =/ So, being a nice guy and always giving the other person the benefit of the doubt, I went with his idea of trying to save him some money and go to a body shop where he knows someone who can hook him up. The place didn't look shady at all, however as soon as his "buddy" starting looking at the damage, his estimate was exactly the same as the more pricier places I've gotten estimates ($1500-$1750). So he can't afford it, and NOW wants to go through the insurance, after my car sat in the rain for three weeks =( Just incredible, give someone an inch and they take a mile. As soon as the insurance got involved, I took my car in an hour later to a shop the insurance recommended, an estimate from the owner of the shop, and a rental car reservation, all paid for and done in 10 minutes. Ahhhhh! I'll post pics as soon as I get the car back!

I like the flat black!! How's the car running?
