thanks Carl but it is not that good, cleaned it up and just some surface rust, still trying to find a place to clean it out, a few radiator places I called said they would clean it with water and soap And Bonzi here is a close up of the stamp

Here are some more shots: There is the Data Plate on the door frame, the VIN stamped on the firewall, the original window sticker and original bill of sale, I have to move some stuff to get the Vehicle Identification Plate in the engine compartment which as all of the info on it like VIN and Engine Serial number which matches what is on the Bill of Sale well I had some time this afternoon so put some time into the Z to remove the fuel tank. Not too hard just some really rusted hose clamps and some really old hard hoses. Now I have to find a place to clean it out, the old fuel just coated the inside and looks like varnish, good call Carl. Here are shots of the outside and inside, the wet part is just from PB Blaster to loosen up the mounting nuts Here are some shots of the body that is normally covered by the fuel tank and looks good no surprises there And I pull the valve cover to put some oil on the cam

totally agree, things happen for a reason and this was one of those that it was for the best.

Thanks for the offer, it is 02/71 HLS30-22555 Thanks, no problem drum away I really want to do this right

thanks, although I did all of the work on my 350Z (building engine, turbo install and tune....) I am not about to think I can do this restoration without some help, I will be on here constantly and will do a lot of research and reading before touching the 240Z, I am shooting for a full restoration so I will check everything twice before doing anything, you guys will probably get tired of me and Carl will block my email address and phone number.

Thanks Alex you better make it to the picnic, I wont have this one ready so we need you to help rep the S30's Thanks Carl, I have been reading like crazy all weekend trying to map out what I need to do. Definitely, I have been wanting this for quite a while.

Thanks I am very happy, I still can't believe it is the garage, here is Carl's advice:

yeah I bought it but the scumbag sole it from under me, he said a Miami guy came up and bought it while I was doing BIN, luckily I got my deposit back, probably was dade280 who bought it. I guess things worked out for the best since I found my other gem http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29498

Thanks guys, and I can't say enough thanks to Carl, one of the nicest guys I have ever met, wish I could have spent more time, by the way that burger was as good as they claimed. I am located in the Palm Beach area in South Florida, so I just had to cross the state to go pick her up. The interior is amazing, I see mainly spending the money on the paint job and a lof of elbow grease on restoring the stock parts. And I got so much paperwork with it, there was the original bill of sale, window sticker, warranty book and warranty card and tons of brochures and magazine articles of the era. Oh I will be keeping the D caps this will be a stock restoration it would be a shame to do anything else with her. First thing will be to get here running following Carl's advice on how to reawaken her, then drive it for a few months and maybe wait for cooler months next winter to tear into her I am just glad it only weighs 2400 lbs since we had to push it up and then off the trailer I had to pinch myself this morning when I went out in the garage and saw what was there, man I have to do some spring cleaning to get some more room

I have been around for a while mainly trying to drum up classic Z's for my Z club meets, man you guys are tough to get out so I figured I had to get one in order to have one at the meets. I have been an S30 lover for decades and always wanted one, I had satisfied my thirst for Z's with a heavily modified 350Z and a slighlty modified 300Zx (Z32) and but was finally able to get my hands on a 1971 240Z. Many thanks to Carl Beck for putting up with me constant noob questions, I am sure this will not stop as I go about restoring her and will be on this board asking away. Here are some pics picking her up Here are some pics of my other babies

Well even a 1972 240Z showed up!!!!! Well another great Sonics meet, I guess the food brings them out a lot of new faces and familiar ones, there around 20 Z's encompassing almost all generation, S30, Z31, Z32 and Z33, thanks for everyone showing up it was a blast Unfortunately none of our pro photographers showed up or brought their camera so we are stuck with my pictures which I forgot to check the setting on the camera and they are not great, so here we go
