Not a new member but finally picked up a Z

[ArnieTX]

Hi

I registered a while back and finally found a project. I look forward to working on these, learning, and passing some skills on to my 3 little men.

This is a great site.

Welcome aboard, Arnie. Wow! You're bringing up three new Z-car fans for the future! What a way to pass on some skills, and they will last a lifetime. And two Zs!! Way to go! Looks like you'll be able to get at least one nice one out of them.

Hi Tex Must be really nice to have an extra set of SIX hands for the fut stuff. Which Z you get? To a lesser mentioned extent besides pics we need build dates and vin numbers.

Pics here:

Title #1 says HLS3011989 1971

Title #2 says HLS3016914 1971

What does the HLS# tell you?

Thanks and I'm excited

Good luck with your project and welcome to the Fray!

I remember the door dates said x/70. At what point do these get titled as 71's?

Thanks

H = L24 engine

L = Left Hand Drive

S30 = Sports Coupe Body

How they got titled - was determined by the Dealership when they submitted the Manufacturers Statement of Origin to the DMV and requested a State Automobile Title be issued. If the Dealer said it was a 70 then it is titled as such, if the Dealer said it was a 71 then it is titled as such.

Most dealers sold/titled cars based on when they received them into inventory and when they sold them to the public.

FWIW,

Vin is also the production number sequentialy. Not necessarialy coming off the line in that way but still they are numbered in order.

And the engine number, located on 2 pads between spark plug 5 & 6, will not match the VIN#. The engine number is located on the passenger shock tower plate, if it is still there.
