Hi All

[1971240]

New guy to forum, but Z's have been in my blood as long as I've driven.

About 20 years ago, my first was a '72, orange on black, I was 2nd owner. A "friend" decided he'd "borrow" it, and ended up perpendicular to a curb at 50mph.

Second, about 12 years ago, I was at the right place at the right time to get a "deal" from someone who needed to offload a '72, orange on black. I figured it wasn't bad considering the (unfortunate, non-stock) upgrades he had on it. Thing ended up being a basket case, rusted, cut springs on top of bad struts, manifold leaks, overheating, do not pass go, etc. Not something I had the time, patience, money, or space to deal with at that time.

I currently have more time, patience, money and space. :laugh:

Third and current, have had a couple months from eBay. '71, orange on black, and as far as I can see, appears to be all stock and complete except for a few cosmetic areas, easily fixed (seats, mirrors, glove box, clock, etc). I've already gained a lot of knowledge from lurking these forums in silence and just wanna say thanks.

Welcome. Sounds like you have a thing for orange and black Z's. There are a lot of good people and information on this site.

Welcome on board. I'll probably get killed for saying this but my 72 is chevy orange with black numbers as it's a dedicated racer.
