The previous thread from 26th-Z is where the Factory Restored Z Program falls under. I'm sure all is true except for the $1,000,000.00 price. Vicky

Here's the site for our Z Car Club. Our members have some very nice cars. http://suncoastzcarclub.homestead.com then click ClubCarz, you will see some beautiful Z cars, and my husband Scotts car is there also:love: If you click his car you will find some info on what he's done to the car as far as the engine, suspension, interior, etc. Click on the members cars to see more pics and info on their wicked nice Z-cars. :classic: Vicky

Man those are sweet lookin' cars. Great avatar pic Alfadog. They look fast sitting still. Very nice. Vicky

Nedemeyer (I think that's how you spell it) was the ROTC leader. TomoHawk you are correct on the other two answers! The type of car driven by Jake & Elwood Blues was a 1974 Dodge Monaco (with cop tires, cop engine (440) and a full tank of gas). Vicky Sorry guys, hit the submit button twice.

Who said "Is that a pledge pin on that uniform soldier"? What was the guys given pledge name? What is the name of the movie? (easy after you get the above) From another movie, some auto trivia: What was the year, make and model of the car that Jake & Elwood Blues drove? Vicky

Ben, I don't have a digital camera yet. Believe me when I get one, that will be the first thing I do. Yes those tires that came on the car are razor thin. We took them off and put some BF Goodrich 205/60R all the way around with the Z mags that came on the 77. We keep the stock tires and hubcaps for shows. TomoHawk, I have no idea what S88 means. I bet your right that it's metric. That's a question Scott will have to answer. Vicky

I now remember the guy that was killed while filming the movie version of the Twilight Zone, it was Vic Morrow! (right?) I believe he died from a helicopter crash. Vicky

I believe the TV show was "Combat". The guy plays "Victor" on the soap, damn I can't think of his name or the name of the soap. The guy who was in the show who played his oppisite was killed while making the move "The Twilight Zone". Please tell me I'm correct on at least one of my answers. The mind is fading here. Vicky

I wouldn't think that radials were to common back in the 70's. Vicky

On the Factory Restored 1972 240Z that I have, the tires are Toyo 175R 88S. Vicky

Do they make a shift kit for the automatic Z car? This would add a little pep. Vicky

Thanks 26th-Z. Great info and pics on that site. You know Mr. K signed Scotts' glovebox and Steve Millen signed the inside of it. Of course Scott had to take it off the car, as Mr. K is getting quite feeble now. Mr. K also confirmed that the japanese writng under the hood said "DATSUN". I had a japanese friend make up the characters and I wanted to confirm that it DID say Datsun and not Chevy or Ford. Vicky

hls30.com now that's original. I've never seen that done before. Makes it look neat and clean. Did you do that yourself? Vicky

Thanks for the nice comments about the car. If I had a digital camera I could post more pics. Zparts.com has some shots from the 2003 MSA show. This car is set up for the track as well as show. Scott did all that could be done to a Z and still keep it drivable (at least for him). When I get the camera I will upload pics of my FR 1972 240Z. That's my baby. I will start signing my name so you know whos' posting. Vicky

What was the dumbest movie character name? I know, I know "Cole Trickle". How lame.

Tom Cruise was the star. Darned if I can remember his name. I do know that's where he met his former wife Nicole Kidman.

That looks like a locking gas door, don't you think? Did Datsun offer that back then? The kid looks like he's from the 50's, but we know the Z wasn't made then.

Man that seems like a big gap between the city 18 mpg and the highway 27 mpg. That's almost a tank of gas. Don't our gas tanks only about 16 gallons?

Sebring is awsome! That's racing and those are some mean cars. CART is the only kind of auto racing in my book. Left hand turns with restrictor plates is for the birds.

With The Daytona 500 comming up soon, (not that I care 'cause I don't like round-d-round racing), who has the most wins in NASCAR?

<Who is his real life wife?> Phoebe Cates from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Execellent movie by-the-way. Remember "Mr. Hand"
