Since I have two 1971 240Zs, I have decided to sell my set of NOS Z hubcaps so that someone with a '72 -'75 Z-Car can use them or for someone who collects NOS Z parts.

Thank you, I'm really happy that I bought them.

My set of Z hubcaps arrived earlier today and they are better than I ever expected, being NOS and have their original packing materials!

Its sure does, Jim! Thanks for attaching the picture of Mr K's signature. Just curious, when did you meet him to get his signature?

The seller doesn't state whose autograph it is. Maybe someone can tell if this is Mr K's signature or someone else's. Here's the link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/254513537317

Dadsun, Thanks for the compliments on the new Z hubcaps. I sent the cashier's check to the seller and hope to see them in about a week. I'll post the full set once on this thread once they arrive. As for your Z hubcaps, it looks like the original Z hubcaps were sprayed with black paint. The '72 through '75 Z-Cars all had the same Z hubcaps. On the Z hubcaps, the front sides hold up much better than the '70 -'71 D hubcaps; however, they rust just as bad on the backsides.

Tom, The last picture of your car looks very familiar. Was it on Bring a Trailer by any chance? Steve

Welcome, Tom! You have a very impressive car collection! Your '71 903 Universal Blue 240Z is absolutely stunning! Steve

Thank you, Motorman7! That's good to know. jdm-car-parts.com almost always inflates their prices by quite a bit, so you are probably right on with the $1,200.00 to $1,400.00 estimate. I've heard the same thing about re-chroming the Z hubcaps, they don't come out very well after re-chroming. However, I had a set of D hubcaps re-chromed and they came out looking beautiful! It's funny how JDM Car Parts show that the Z hubcaps were for the '71 thru '76 Z-cars, which isn't correct per Zhome.com, as '70 and '71 240Zs came stock with the D hubcaps and the Z hubcaps only came stock on the '72 thru '75 Z-cars. They need to get their facts straight.

Asking price is $5k. Here's the Link : https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/cto/d/minneapolis-vintage-race-car/7117406589.html

I have the opportunity to purchase a set of 4 NOS Z hubcaps. We all know that the D hubcaps have become very rare and expensive. Also as you know, there were hundreds of thousands of sets of Z hubcaps manufactured that are quite common and came stock on the '72 and '73 240Zs, '74 260Zs and the '75 280Zs. However, NOS Z hubcaps in perfect condition are also pretty rare. Any idea what a set of 4 is worth? Has there been any recent sales of NOS Z hubcaps on eBay? Just trying to get an idea of the value. Thanks in advance. Steve

There's a guy in the Denver area namedDarrel Hoffman. I'm pretty sure he still has his spindle pin puller . His handle in Darrel on this forum.

Here's another one from the same vendor as the Datsun mask: https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/pts/d/baldwin-park-datsun-face-mask/7112382574.html

I agree, 112 Yellow is a great Z color!

Thanks for the update, and good luck with the new roof on your Z.

Madkaw, I wanted to check in to see if you've had a chance to start cutting into the car yet and if so, what the fit is like with the new floor pans?

Great find, Mike! What a beautiful and super rare car..... I only wish I could afford to buy it.

Yes, someone got a heck of a deal for only $800.00! I just hope that the buyer plans to restore this solid car and not cut it up, that would be a shame if that were to happen.

A project that got started, but still has a long way to go. I briefly spoke with the seller and it's # HLS30-17493. If I'm not mistaken that would place it as a 12/70 build date, making it a 1971 model year car, but still a Series I.

We look forward to hearing from you and please post some pictures!
