My “barn find Z” Updated
We had to knock down a wall to get it out. The Z was put into storage in California in 1982 by its first owner, a military doctor. The doctor died and 13 years ago the car was retrieved by his nephew who stored it in his shop with a goal to get it back on the road. Life happened and the shop was expanded, the Z ended up walled in as a garage door was never built. Zero rust. This thing still smells new inside. The suspension bolts still have oem cadmium plating on them. You can still see the ink stamps of the factory inspectors from when new. This car is a true unicorn. I’ve never seen anything like it. It is as if it just rolled off the assembly line and into this guys workshop. It wouldn’t surprise me if this is the lowest mile mint original Z outside of an auto museum. The Car was too long to get it into the storage garage with all the rest of the items in storage and so the bumper was removed to shorten it a couple inches. It was stored due to the car developing fuel system issues. Mileage is 10383. 😀 . Vin RLS30-016834

280z project "ready to start sucking money" Updated
This one will be a challenge to say least.
Lots of rust and a tore apart engine to start. Wish me luck, I'll need it and help from this village to make her one again.
cheers

Hyundai Side Markers Updated
Hyundai Exel side markers fit fairly flush on the Z. Connections are compatible with existing Z wiring. Mounting holes are a bout 1/8 inch farther apart than Z marker lights, so one new screw hole must be drilled in the Z fender.

Original 1971 240Z race car. Manufactured in very late 1970 or early 1971. First owned and raced in IMSA GTU, SCCA, Midwest Council through the 70's by Jack Buchinger. Never driven on the street. He took the car to the SCCA Runoffs in 1978/79. Jack raced the car with the classic 240Z drivers like Blackburn, Sharp, Fitzgerald, Newman and others. He sold the car to Larry Landrum who raced it in the 1980's. I purchased the car in 1990 and raced it in SCCA GT2 (the CP class was long gone by then) and vintage. In the last five years the car has gone through a rotisserie restoration (media blasted inside and out down to bare metal), with fresh fiberglass, new Wilwood rotors and calipers, new shocks/inserts, new lexan front and rear, finished in its original race livery, dyno-time only 2800cc race engine (ATI damper, ARP bolts, aluminum flywheel, QuarterMaster clutch, Datsun comp oil pump, water pump pulley, oil pan, and so on). The chassis, electronics and engine were originally prepared for Jack by three of the soon-to-be-disbanding BRE crew members. The cage, dash, gauges are from original race prep. I'll fill in more details, including VIN#, in the future.

Dude, sounds like you might have wanted to reverse the events, restored the car for over 25 years and married for 15 years...You would have had the best of both worlds...Just kidding, but now keep things in perspective....: love the wife and restore the car...If needed, remind her how much she loved the car....LOL. Good luck with an excellent project for both of you...Lots of memories to remember and create as the restoration progresses...Good luck.

Wow...Beautiful, just natural and elegant. Very good tactfull taste. Huh, the car is not bad either....LOL...
Hey, you should take some more pictures with some beautiful natural backgrounds. That type of picture definetely could be in a magazine. Use the same "Friend" in continuing your good taste with additional photos. If the background was different, just sceenic, this would make a great large poster.
Also, had a question, your wheels look line Panasport, is that correct? If so i would appreciate it if you could give me an accurate size of the center caps. I am looking to buy blank aftermarket chrome center caps but I dont know the exact size. Thank you and keep up the good work....P.S. All kidding aside, your Z-Car does looks great....

You found Willie Wonkas golden ticket, give it a wash and change the fluids and you are driving a new Z, the car we all want to find. Once you get her cleaned up could you please post some detail pics of the engine bay and interior? Colours and surface textures are always very useful, she's a real gem.

Nice pic! Those mopeds hanging on the bookshelves make me a bit nervous though.. 😉
