My Trip to Z MECCA


EVILC

Recommended Posts

Last week I went to Florida for a week or so and gave Jim, owner of all the cars below a call to stop by and check out his garage. If you are ever in the Tampa area or within driving distance I would say it is worth the trip. Jim is a stand up guy and knows his Z stuff. Enough of me, time for some pics:

Love the Blue on Blue one!

Sweet!

Is this the fellow who has several other special Z's, including a green one that once belonged to Paul Newman? I think it may be the one you have pictured here...

those are amazing

does he have an sn on here?

if not he needs one

He does have a sn, however; "...but you know I don't have the free time to spend on this site."

He calls himself an "early vin & restoration advisor", not a specialist. He is not in the business of restoring cars. He is an insurance salesman. Although he is quite capable of restoring a Z to a very nice standard, the VAST majority of those cars were purchased that way, not restored by him. He has no proof that any of his cars were once owned by Paul Newman. Yes, it is an amazing collection.

Just a few facts. Nice post and pictures, Clive!
