blueturbo Posted October 13, 2007 Share #1 Posted October 13, 2007 Hi i'm about to start bit of a resto (suspenion,wiring.ect) on my buddies 74 260 and we are not sure if we should do a performance build or stock as the vin#is quite low rls30-000023.Any info on this vin would be helpfull thanks.

Exdamyankee Posted October 14, 2007 Share #2 Posted October 14, 2007 I doubt the number means much on a '74, but I could be mistaken. It's obviously one of the first '74s built, but again, it's not like it's a 1969 240. I say build it the way you want to drive it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRE-240Z Posted October 14, 2007 Share #3 Posted October 14, 2007 I say build it the way you want to drive it.That's my vote as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak's Z Posted May 21, 2008 Share #4 Posted May 21, 2008 This hijacking doesnt even make sense. I'd almost prefer to see an ad for grey market cellphones or electronics. Blueturbo talking about his restoration then BAM - An essay on China. WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He left about six or so of this type of post this morning. Just ignore him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtl260z Posted May 21, 2008 Share #6 Posted May 21, 2008 Unfortunately there is nothing special about an early 260 (except for the fact that all S30's are special). I'm kind of glad for that since I can't leave anything stock and my Z is far from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big sam Posted August 17, 2008 Share #7 Posted August 17, 2008 A "sympathetic" resto would be nice...I have RS30 vin#000037 maybe built on the same day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Beck Posted August 17, 2008 Share #8 Posted August 17, 2008 All other things being held even - an interesting VIN will sell first, and perhaps for a bit more money.FYI - RLS30 00020 was the OMS Pace Car that Bobby Unser won... its still in the Unser Garage..FWIW,Carl B.

fixitman Posted August 17, 2008 Share #9 Posted August 17, 2008 You might consider something in between a performance build and stock. Let's call it a period correct restoration. During the production years, many factory and aftermarket parts were available to personalize and improve the handling and performance of any 240Z to 280Z. A quality period correct restoration may give your friend the best of both approaches and a higher value car.Good luck with the project.Fixitman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
