Want to post photo of rear deck

No info other than these pictures from an earlier thread. This lot of Z's has come up many times but I don't think anything is said about the Pantera Z.

I think that a rear hatch like that would make me (more) claustrophobic.

I am actually very familiar with that picture and in fact I have been there a couple of times. The car with the Pantera rear hatch was sold some time ago, I asked the guy and he really didn't know where the hatch came from since it was on the car when he got it. Most of the cars in that picture are gone now. The guy that owns the property went through a z car collection period but doesn't want them anymore. He has one interesting shell which has been sitting outside for years that he is selling for a few thousand dollars... It is a 1969 240z with a VIN that is something like 00045 (it was a few months ago so I might be off slightly, but within 10). I actually saw it with my own eyes. It's real. If I go back over there to pick some more parts, is anyone interested in a picture of it? It's truly nothing more than a very dirty shell (but no rust since it's in California). It would be one heck of a project, but an amazing item to have when completed.

Apart from being ugly, what else do you want to know?

No motor or trans? I would like to see pics of that one.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. For me, that just kills the lines of the car. To each his own.

Hey, at least it's aerodynamically inefficient. :dead:

I'll go with 2 each his own, once its changed (cut ) then there is no going back

so then its anything goes. Living in back-water Fla near Red Neck Rd I like to stand

out or like to have them ask me "Duh what is that there car anyway"

...So you are the one who bought the Catipillar yellow 280zx powered snow plow several years ago! Standing out is not aways a good thing!

That "modification" would greatly reduce the volume of air in the passenger's cabin needing cooling, and thus greatly increase the effectiveness of A/C in a 240Z. It would also provide storage space more out of sight, although for smaller items.

Not something I'd want, but it might have had a small market when produced decades ago.

FWIW,
