Old fool with Old Z - new member

[oldhemi]

Hello y'all. Transplanted Texan from Connecticut for 19 years! I bought my early 260Z new in spring of 1974. Anybody remember Stephens World of Wheels on Rt 6 in Bristol? Wanted a silver one, but a brown one came in when my number was called. The only bondo in this car was installed due to the gorillas unloading of the car off of the transport. Small ding on the drivers door.

"upgraded" the car in 1977 with 3 Webers, headers and a whole lot of suspension stuff. Ran like a bat outta hell and rode like a rigid frame Harley!

Good 85,000 mile, mostly dent-free, original paint(bad) car except for the bottom 4 inches. Not sure if the rust is terminal. I have not driven the car for 18 years and am thinking of maybe starting her up. 10 years ago, I was hitting pick u parts for other cars that I had and I would pick up some stuff here and there for the Z because the stuff was so cheap. Missed out on some doors back then.:stupid:

In any case, I am now disabled/retired with too many projects on my hands and limited income. I hope to get with a few local folks and get some opinions and pointers to ponder on to decide on the future of this car.

Anyhoo, great site, some inspirational stories and cars! I hope to be here for awhile lurking and HOPEfully asking some questions.
