Hls000248?

Nice restoration and nice car, but I've got to be honest with you, why customize #248 or any 1969 production 240Z? Why not use a later 240Z for a project like this? IMHO, since the '69 production cars are so rare and are such an important part of Z history, why not keep it stock? Just my 2 cents

It was not complete enough to do a stock restoration on, so he built it like he wanted to.

From the post linked to above - "As we were loading all of the parts (my wife and me - she's a trooper!) we realized that although there was a ton of new parts, they weren't the parts that would have been needed to restore to stock. No motor or tranny, much of the interior missing, no stock wheels and such."

Still a beautiful and amazing car IMO, even though I do prefer the L-series motor and I guess most people here do too otherwise we would be over at hybridz . Is the original scarb equipment worth a pretty penny now?
