My Trip to Z MECCA
I have the good fortune of having my in-laws in Clearwater FL, which means I can visit with Carl Beck and Jim Frederick when I'm down over holidays. I had never spoken to Jim before but reached out over Christmas break and he invited me on over to see the Z Mecca. Man, am I glad a I made that call. Jim is a great guy, very gracious and accomodating for a visit. He took the time to walk me through every car he as, the story and history. Amazing. 2.5 hours flew by. I have a stock gold 71 restore in Atlanta that I did, similar to the one in the pics. ONE. How awesome to see a collection of all of these great Z's in one place. My favorites are the Green restore that he is doing (VIN 52), the White all original (not restored) with the Red interior and the Blue all original with the Blue interior from NY. I also can't wait to see the Silver (VIN 19) when it's complete. Thanks Jim for taking the time out of your day to share and talk Z cars. I'll post some more pics in a new post.
