I'm a newb here but can I add mine to the mix? Vin in sig ...

It sounds like you put a lot of time into finding this car. Hopefully it will go to someone with more "time" on their hands. Money says you regret this years from now.

You know I'm not a huge fan of the G-nose typically but this one I like. Nice car!

Good luck in your search!

That's a good looking Z.

Thanks for the input guys. I think I am going to go the herculiner route. I think with some good photo documentation of the rust repair I have done any potential buyers would be placated. Not that I'll probably sell it anyway. Thanks again.

I know this topic is a bit old but I was wondering if I could get some new input as this step is exactly where I am at with my Z. My questions are below but a bit of background first ... I'll have my Z just about stripped to bare metal underneath by this weekend. I don't have a rotisserie (jack stands) but I found that in my case if I heated the undercoating a bit with a propane torch for a quick second that I could scrape off it and most of the layers of paint underneath in one easy swipe with a sharp putty knife. What I couldn't get off that way, I wire wheeled etc. Anyway, I noticed that in the areas where the car leaked oil/tranny fluid that the old rubberized undercoating was virtually liquid and I could literally wipe it off with a rag. Underneath those areas I found pits of rust beginning to go to work. So, I'm not convinced of the longevity of the spray can undercoating. Now for the questions ... Has anyone put any miles on a car with the herculiner undercoating? How has it withstood the test of time? Any flaking etc? It must be fairly pliable as it obviously works in truck beds but the belly of a Z car I think would be a little more "demanding". Any input is appreciated. Thanks, Scott

Congrats!!!! I'm a new Z addict as well.

Ya know, I didn't think I would like the orange much but your car is changing my mind. Nice!

There is not much in the way of detail in the ad but this 71 looks to be in tip top shape and is priced right. Someone may want to jump on this. Sorry if this is not the proper place to post this. If not, I'm sure someone will school me. 240 for sale

Thanks Dave! That was indeed the car I bought. She is sitting in my garage right now.

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." ~John Stuart Mill "Skin that smoke wagon and go to work" - Wyatt Earp (Tombstone)

I'm sorry, I can't reply to posts from just any Tom, Vic, and Harry.

Tom, Vic (and anyone else in the So Cal area), if you hear about any local events or club meets etc. give me a shout or post on it. I'd love to come hang out and see a few cool cars in the process. Thanks again everyone! I can't wait to get to work on it.

Thanks all, I appreciate the warm welcome.
