WingZr0 Posted January 30, 2007 Share #14 Posted January 30, 2007 I would absolutely love to see a spotless Z off the showroom floor, too bad Im not old enough to actually witsness it. Any you guys ever go into a dealership in 70 and see a brand new Z?? Now those are the stories Id love to hear! I Just got out the TIME MACHINE It was 1970. I would tell you about the Datsuns I've seen but as soon as I stepped out of the capsule, I got dragged to a Dodge dealership! :disappoin ~Z~ Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/23119-cherry-240/?page=2#findComment-197414 Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted January 30, 2007 Share #15 Posted January 30, 2007 My 77 280z had those on it before I junked 'em. As far as wheel covers go, they are probably the classiest that I've seen. If it was an actual alloy that looked like that I'd have thought about keeping them, but the last thing I needed at that time was another set of wheels and tires.

sblake01 Posted January 30, 2007 Share #16 Posted January 30, 2007 Any you guys ever go into a dealership in 70 and see a brand new Z?? Now those are the stories Id love to hear!That's how I bought my 1970. Not much of a story really. I was on the waiting list and one came in that was actually for someone a few cars ahead of me but they didn't want the tan interior. There were seven or so people ahead of me but somehow I was given the chace to buy it and I did. It's long gone now, I traded it in for a 72 and I can't find it (the 70) on any of the Z registers. I don't recall the 72s VIN but the 70 was 00488. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/23119-cherry-240/?page=2#findComment-197416 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have them somewhere. Running the Panasports now. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/23119-cherry-240/?page=2#findComment-197420 Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted January 30, 2007 Share #18 Posted January 30, 2007 Our '78 280Z came with those covers as well. I still have them somewhere. Running the Panasports now. Right now I'm alternating between MOMO quasar 15X7's and Impul RS-III's in 17X7 front, 17X8 rear (depending on which has better tires at the moment...right now it's the MOMOs). At that time in addition to these two sets I had one set of the western turbine wheels with the tight spokes in 14X7 and another set of the wide spaced turbines in 14X6 (but I had 5 of those :cheeky: )...I'm trying to consolidate my collection a little bit now. Sorry for the thread jack, back to the super clean 240! Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/23119-cherry-240/?page=2#findComment-197432 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayhawk Posted January 31, 2007 Share #20 Posted January 31, 2007 Maybe Im wrong, because you best believe I would absolutely love to see a spotless Z off the showroom floor, too bad Im not old enough to actually witsness it. Any you guys ever go into a dealership in 70 and see a brand new Z?? Now those are the stories Id love to hear! Ah, yes - it was a wonderful day. I bought my shiny blue 240Z at Gubruds Valley Datsun in Mt. Vernon, WA one fine April morning in 1973. Paid full MSRP and still had to wait about 5 months for the car. 3 years after the first 240Zs came to the US, there was still a months long waiting list to buy a car! Full MSRP was $4,106, a bargin even then. (see the window sticker attached). I had never driven a Z before that day. It was my first new car and I still clearly remember the wonderful feeling driving it off the lot. It was tight, shiny, powerful, and with that long hood, felt much bigger than I thought it would. I was a young Navy ensign, just back from an 10 month cruise with my A6 Intruder squadron to Vietnam. I had saved up my pay during that cruise, and spent most of it on that car. Worth EVERY frickin penny! I hoped it would impress the girls. It did...:-) --Bob (who just spent several hours today trying to clear junk out of the garage to make room for the Z so the long delayed restoration can begin.)

veritech-z Posted January 31, 2007 Share #21 Posted January 31, 2007 I guess some people hate dish Mine look slightly different than that, but the offset is correct. I looked into having the offset changed to 0 by replacing the shells (3-piece wheels), but it came out to $1200 US, and I've seen Advan Oni's in the same size and offset for that price... You can see that I've painted mine, but aside from that instead of all those little ridges, mine have 8 point bolts that are all stamped "impul" on the heads. Also, mine were never polished like those, they were painted that alloy aluminum color most wheels come in.

veritech-z Posted February 1, 2007 Share #24 Posted February 1, 2007 I do, let me upload them, hang on. Keep in mind that I had to fabricate my own lug nut covers, so these are not the orginals. They go with my car though, so I can't complain too much. I had to make them out of some old Saturn lug nut covers (I work at a Saturn dealership, it's what I had available). Be right back with the pics. By the way, that $1200 for Onis was in 17X8, 0 offset. It was a buy it now eBay deal that comes up pretty regularly. Also, my quoted re-offsetting was from www.kodiakracingwheels.com if anybody with deeper pockets than me wants to look into it, and it was in UN-polished, polished was like $80 more per wheel.
