First Z car

[Birdmayne]

Hey all,

Recently acquired my first Z car, and gotta say, I love it!

The car was sitting in a dry barn for years and years, before I picked it up. I recently cracked 4,000 Original miles on the car.

Being that it sat for so long, I have plenty of little things to work on that keep popping up, and will continue to do so.

Anyway, here she is.

I have an RB25 that I bought as a summer project, then this Z pretty much just fell in my lap. I'm definitely thinking that they would make for an awesome project together.

Cheers

Started a build thread and will keep more pictures in there, as I plan to update with any major progress.

Do you honestly believe that? That odo has been around the block at least once, maybe twice.

In any event, good luck with the car and welcome to the club.

The car sat in a dry barn for 30+ years. Yes, I do believe that it has that low of mileage. There is very little pedal wear, the engine bay is too clean for 100,000+ IMO. The PO parked it with his other cars in storage and forgot about it.

Hi good luck with the car.

Odd that it has a cage fitted from brand new. Appears to be chipping to the hatch strut, and misaligned front bumper. FWIW there should be no wear anywhere for that low mileage.

Very nice find though.

It has a roll bar and a wink mirror.

Yeah, this car was raced. But who cares. It definitely does not have 4000 miles on it. But who cares. It is yours now and it is time to start your story.

Ya, I'm not much concerned with the history of the car, either way. All I'm worried about is that there is little to no rust and everything is there. Great place to start this toy.
