NR240

I apologise if this thread has been discussed b4. Wanted to know everyone's thought's on how many 2 Seater "body style" cars are left in the world. I have done some research on production numbers, and propose the following: If we assume 240/260/280Z cars are included, the time span is from 1969 - 1977 (correct me if i am wrong, as we didn't get 280Z cars in Australia). I have added up the production numbers, across all continents and have come up with a final figure of: 310,336 units: 2 Seater Coupe cars produced Question: How many do we think are left? Could 50% of these cars over 30+ years be destroyed/rusted etc.

I own a 1973 Australian delivered 240Z. I ask the following question???? When cornering hard left in the 240Z, fuel leaks out of the "overflow" tube that exits from the "Petrol filler neck" which is the main tube used when filling the car. The "overflow" tube is a breather tube, and sits behind the rear wheel. Due to the forces of inertia, during hard left turn, the fuel in the tank is pushed to the right and up the filler neck, where it enters this "overflow" tube and ends up spraying out the back of the car!. Presents a problem when friends are following you!!. Can I block this hose off? or do I need to get a one-way valve to allow the tank to breathe?. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

My 2 cents.... As someone previously commented. The 240Z and even 260/280's are becoming 30+ yrs old. If you race your car on the track, or drive it every day, you increase the chance of having an "incident". I understand that the reason we own Z cars is to "drive" them. My concern rests with the fact that we are dealing with a finite resource, that is, donor or parts cars. There will come a time when we simply cannot source panels and parts for our beloved Zed's. The message is... look after your car as best you can, they are becoming more sacred every day.
