70 Z Bought on EBay...ROAD TRIP!!

[26th-Z]

Me too!

You say matching numbers but I don't see anywhere WHAT numbers. It must be something in the three digits? Register that baby on IZCC and welcome to the early Z group. I'm anxious to see more of that short nosed air cleaner and you mention vertical lines in the hatch glass. See if a wiring adaptor kit was put on the car for the demister glass. There is a service bulletin about that and I wonder if your car was one of them. Check your front brakes. Ducts in the backing plates? Vented rotor castings? How about the inspection lids on the hood? Plastic clips? Are the alignment tabs welded on or riveted on? Are the hood bumpers little rubber cups? What are the seat belt dates? Hanger clips on the seats? Do the seat cusions have plastic guards on the bottom?

Ho boy! You could have a lot of fun with this lovely!

Kurt: I lived for 19 years in St. Louis. I fear for what you will find when you take the fenders off and look under the battery and look at the floorboards. Can you say "Mull"? They do not plow the roads in St. Louis... They just salt the roads. I had a 510 racer that was rusted so badly we had to use aluminum for the wheel wells to cover the rust. You did get a great price on the car. I hope it is worth the trouble you are putting into it. I will watch for your reaction when you see the car up close in your shop! (I thought so about the battery box! Wait until you start taking parts off the car. Whooha!)

It was listed on the auction as HLS30-01281. So not quite a 3 digit car, but still pretty cool.

Here is a link to the auction:

Ok - 1281 is for sale. My nephew who was going to restore this car got his fiance' pregnant and now they are getting married (congrats). The car has some rust by the battery box, near the gas filler and under the hatch. The floorboards look solid. I have replaced the hood, but it will need some adjustment. The car has a non-original 5 speed and the carbs are 3-screw SUs, probably out of a 72. I'm not looking to make money on this car, but I want it to go to sombody who will restore it. I can take some pics for serious buyers. I will put it in the classifieds soon...

Kurt,

Congratulations to your nephew!

I'd be interested in seeing the car in person if possible. If so, send me a PM or let me know how I can get in contact with you. Thanks.
