What do you guys think of this Z emblem?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2454968311&category=33643

Personally, I think it would look good when I finally get my chopped and lowered Rolls Royce Radiator Grille installed.

Anyone know where I can find a Continental Spare Tire Kit for the back end? Due to the shortened height of the back end, I think the Half kit would be best. Thoughts?

WHY ISNT THERE A LINK ON THE EBAY SITE TO REPORT PEOPLE MIS-DESCRIBING THIER $^!#. Sorry Caps unintentional, but echos my sentiments on the subject.

Like that was ever on a datsun z car.:stupid:

Also there was a guy selling a toy 240z police car- that was a ferrari 250GTO police car.:stupid:

At first I thought that was a flush handle for some Z brand plumbing fixture, but then it ocurred to me to look up Zimmers. Remember Zimmers? The kit car that bolted on to a Camero chassis?

Do an Ebay search for Zimmer

The seller obviously does not know what car this belongs to, and has probably NEVER seen a Z.

Or....

Has anyone ever seen one of those low-budget outrageous car modification nightmares? Remember the VW Beetle with the fake "Rolls-Royce" front end? Personally, I think the Bug carries that look off well, but I have seen autos that have had the same transformation effected to them.

Imagine a Ford Pinto or Mercury Bobcat. The Bobcat had a small grille that ~kinda~ suggested the RR Grille. Well, I saw one done that way, except the Rad/Grille was at least 5" deep. I don't think the original is that big. Additionally it had the Continental Spare Tire kit in back that was only the top HALF of the kit. (No room or space to allow the spare to be full size.) To top the whole thing off, a Landau Vinyl Top had been added, with a 2" Chrome edging. Last but not least.......a Lighted Flying Unicorn Radiator "knob".

Way too much if you ask me......

Then I saw this on e-Bay and I figured I'd go trolling.......

The emblem I ~believe~ is actually from the Mercury Zephyr. Anyone remember the Ford Fairmont? The Zephyr was it's twin for Mercury.

As to whether I would ~actually~ mount it on a car of mine, well, who knows, I do have a parts car to get rid of ...
