my bumble Z

[bamboo 77]

Just found this site today, here's an interesting car for you.

This 77 has been in my possession since 1978. It has only been on the road once in the past 15 years and has only about 100 miles on it in the past 20 years. It has 90,000 on it and has been driven exclusively on long trips. Between the original owner and myself the car has seen almost all of the U.S. including Hawaii.

Hi bamboo

Not too many Zap Yellow Z's left running around. Good to see one in great shape. It's about time to run in around America again.

Your close to the National Z Car Convention in Cleveland this year too.

Yes, the Berea Fairgrounds aren't that far from here. Our local Z club seems unorganized or hacked and I'm not about to pay to join up. I'd like to get the car there for the event, but there's some pesky pinholes in the rubber injection lines spraying fuel. If I can get them fixed, it's driveable, if not trailering is the only other answer.

This is kinda embarassing to admit, but hey it's the truth.

I have owned this car since Oct. 78 and because the PO had removed the decals I had no idea it was a ZAP model. It wasn't until this week(31 years later) while stumbling around a Z link and looking at color codes, finding the 411#, popping the hood and seeing my 411# did I learn what it was.

Somewhere, a long time ago someone told me it was called bamboo. I've been lied to and I believed them . I'd really rather be ZAP 77 than bamboo 77 any day.

I've got to get the pictures up.
