If you had the only Z museum, and could obtain any Z, what Zs would you put in it and why?

Will

I would have to say a low-vin, strictly stock, unrestored Z that looks showroom new or at least very clean. While I'm at it I'll take a Unicorn, Playboy Centerfold twins and directions to Atlantis.

Will, You didn't put an answer as none of the above. All Z's need to be driven and not sitting in a museum.

Will

You forgot to add

16. Your own Z

Zak,

Each of the twins has one half of the directions to Atlantis:cheeky:, between them they have all of directions, and it is up to you to be their ride to Atlantis:beer:...If they don't need a unicorn, you don't need a unicorn, be the unicorn!;)

Bill,

If none of them belong in a museum, obviously you wouldn't have a museum...

John,

I didn't put that as a selection because I want people posting, not checking boxes...

I'll give my answer after we get a few more good posts!

I voted for low vin Z cars and racing history cars. It wasn't a choice but if a famous person owned a Z and it could be found and restored that might be a choice I would make as well. The attached pic isn't a Z but it is an example of what I might find interesting as a museum patron. Carl Sagan with his 914...

My Z museum would house one of each 'series', unrestored in excellent condition, and strictly stock.

Ditto, but I would also add one each of all the variants as offered in other markets. The European market Zed differed from the Japanese market Zed and from the North American Z... subtle differences, but present nonetheless.

I don't think there are enough people that could recognize an S20 variant, nor a full deluxe JDM Z with all the trims and whistles. Some think the ZG nose was never a Datsun/Nissan concept. Others think the US Z came with Mag Wheels. Nor could most of us recognize the difference between a UK model and a JDM (and there might be actually NO difference).

Additionally, racing legendary cars such as the Africa races. The actual cars only, not replicas except for some very few exceptions. Not sure which these would be.

Personality owned cars? Unless Loni Anderson or Farrah Fawcett owned one and there was a wax figurine of them in a bathing suit..... probably not. I would include pictures of them with their cars though, but the car, in and by itself... I don't think it's ownership history denotes a "distinguishable" feature.

any Z car that looks eye appealing should be in a museum, because theres a $^!# load of piece of craps out there and its HARD to come by an extreamly clean Z

I voted for Zs with an established racing history, Zs that are strictly stock, and Zs that are/were owned by famous people. What I didn't see was highly modified Zs. Basically, I would display anything that was exceptional, rare, or creative without being an eyesore like the amateur art cars roaming around here in Santa Cruz.

Compulsory additions would be the ZG's, Z432 and Z432R's and one from everywhere on the globe where they were sold. Unless there weren't any major differences in body/interior etc..

I'd also have to disagree on famous person ownership, present or previous really meaning much. Cars have no choice over who buys them and I don't think Nissan did any special builds for famous buyers.
