After nearly 2 weeks in transit, my new "baby" finally arrived to much fanfare! Okay, not alot of fanfare, but we're all excited!

Congratulations man. I bet you must be excited

That brings back memories for me when I first got mine. I live in MN. and bought my baby down in AZ. and she rode all the way from Arizona to me in Minnesota and rode on a truck just like yours did. Words can't explain how HAPPY I was when I first saw her IN PERSON.

I just got her out of storage today. She's been waiting patiently all winter long

Here is a picture of my baby

Congratulation's Rick. It looks like you found a nice Z.

That 77' looks really clean.

-Ben:)

Nice! Congrats!

Started to examine the car this morning when I ran across this "mystery" switch. It's located on the center console, it's a momentary toggle (left/right or up/down depending on how it's oriented). At first I figured it must be some kindo of add on switch as it does nothing that I can tell, however when I looked at the bezel/faceplate of the switch, it looks strickingly like something from the factory. Any idea what this might be? I havent had a chance to start tracing it's wiring, probably wont for a while but I thought if it's factor someone might know. My old 260 never had anything like that, no have I seen anyone else have one. One note: THe PO put a stereo EQ in the car years ago, tucked under the original radio position, but in front of the Choke/rear defroster panel. Could it have been there originially? And if so, what is it?

electris mirrer switch?

I thought that too, at first, but it only goes bidirectionally (left/right or up/down depending on how you physically orient the switch). You can see what I mean by looking at the two arrows on the bevel - I dont know the correct orientation. The mirrors on the car, although not original, are definitely not electric.

Could be electric antenna up and down switch for radio !!!!! Good luck with the car it sure looks like a nice one !!!!

Thx Alex. I was out this morning looking some more. I think that might be what it is, although I doesn't seem to work. Oh the fun of exploring a "new" car!

She's a beauty Rick, congratulations! Where is Weston Florida?

Vicky

Many thanks, I just uploaded some new photos into my Gallery after I gave her a bath from the long trip. The PO kept everything, original owners manual, even the dealer sales broghure. Even has a maintanence logbook.

Weston is as far west Ft. Lauderdale as you can get before you are in the Everglades. It sits right at the corner of where I-75 turns west to head towards Naples, and where I-595 begins. It's about 4 hours from Tampa. It's nice to meet fellow Floridians, it is a rare site to see a 240 on this side of the state. Dunno why.

Yeah I'd bet money that its for the antenna. Nice lookin Z man.
