JLPurcell Posted December 12, 2006 Share #1 Posted December 12, 2006 Today I picked up the 1970 Series 1 Z car which I purchased on Ebay yesterday. I found a number of parts in the luggage area including this, what looks to be a skid plate. Is this just a rogue part or does it belong on a Series 1?

Arne Posted December 12, 2006 Share #2 Posted December 12, 2006 I vote for the rogue part thing. I've not seen anything like it on the cars I've looked at. But there's probably lots I've never seen yet... Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/22599-is-this-a-series-1-part/#findComment-192335 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLPurcell Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share #3 Posted December 12, 2006 I tend to agree, but don't want to take a chance. All other parts in the car were correct for the car. Including an original pair of "D" hubcaps etc... I didn't see how this skid plate would mount to the car and became suspect that it might be a rogue part, but I will wait to see what other members think before I scrap it.

Darrel Posted December 12, 2006 Share #4 Posted December 12, 2006 doubt it's for a z. Maybe some kind of plate for a gas tank on a truck.Maybe turn it over for a running board.

lonetreesteve Posted December 12, 2006 Share #5 Posted December 12, 2006 Jerry, Could this be a piece from the truck that hit the Z on the driver's side? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/22599-is-this-a-series-1-part/#findComment-192351 Share on other sites More sharing options...

=Enigma= Posted December 12, 2006 Share #7 Posted December 12, 2006 It looks like the gas tank skid plate on my Toyota 4runner. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/22599-is-this-a-series-1-part/#findComment-192363 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinfish Posted December 13, 2006 Share #11 Posted December 13, 2006 My Dec,'70 Series I 240Z was delivered with a skid plate bolted to the front frame rail. Unfortunately I trashed it back in the 70's when I was hurting for storage space.None of those in the pictures resemble this unique, hard to find part.
