Nope. Wife couldn't care less. She used to drive my '75 280Z back when I was still in Grad School, and while I guess she didn't mind too much, she'd much rather have the power steering, seats, windows, etc. that the (almost) new minivan has. So she won't be competing for time in it, but in about 6 months, when my oldest son gets his license, I suspect I'll have some begging to contend with!

As to those bumper bars, I have heard them called overriders, but I thought that those were the vertical little bits on either side of the bumpers. I gather the original ones for the 240's were aftermarket from a company called "AMCO" or something. 26th-Z seems to know what they are, since I believe he's looking for some for his car. I personnally don't care for them all that much, but I don't care, so they weren't a problem with my car.

Don't know about the plate number yet. IL seems to be in the dark ages still, and they can't just look up numbers and tell you if they are available. I had to choose three, and if none of them are available, then I'm just hosed.

I don't know about the wheels, but they were purchased in Cincinnati, OH in 1999 according to the receipt the PO gave me. No other info though, since he bought them through a shop. The receipt says "American Racing 205 Wheels". You go to the American Racing site, and search for "205", and nothing like these wheels comes up. They don't list any wheels for the Z car, either in the application section. So, I guess they aren't available, but I'm still not sure.
