Twin 1972 240z Restoration Project

Featured Replies

Sister 1972 240z cars. I have been in contact with the previous owners for about half a decade. They decided to sell to me recently. ?

Serial Numbers are only a few hundred apart. 

Restoration in progress will be posted to instagram at @240zisters

Nice, are you also going to post the restorations here on this forum?  Not everyone does the instagram/facebook thing.

I agree with grannyknot....post here too. Looks like a challenging restoration. You are very brave on the rusty one.......my favorite color for a Z!

I agree, 112 Yellow is a great Z color!

Me too. My favorite actually.Their paint doesn't look that bad to me, probably clean up?

Mine was similar but after about 5 washes with different types Turtle Wax it cleaned up the original paint to the signature picture on the left. Then after the motor rebuild was done I had it cut and buffed. The right picture.

They did clean up well, here is a picture of the automatic in my garage.

Looking forward to more post! When I first heard "Instagram" I thought it was some new drug. So yeah post here too when you can.

Looks like you have a 280?

Like to see that one too.

Cliff

Definitely gets the most compliments of any of my Z cars.

@Diseazd Wow the one you posted looks just like this automatic of mine. Even the wheels look similar!
