DatsunZGuy

My "Datsun Guy" is over two-hours away from me and I always says a little prayer he stays healthy 🙏

Here is something to stump any Millennial viewing this thread 😉

It might be time for me to upgrade from Windows 98 since my Juno dial-up speed seems to be crawling on my 56K modem 😉

I'd stay away from tumblers because aggressive media can round off screw threads and sharp edges of the component. I really like my ultrasonic cleaner. The one I purchased is large enough to easily clean the body of an SU carburetor and make quick work of years of grease and crud build-up. I'll make a solution of 1 part Simple Green to 4 parts water and put it in a clear plastic zipper loc bag, along with my parts. Next I'll put it in the cleaner and fill the of the tank with plain water. It also works great to keep jewelry nice and shiny. It has paid for itself is time saved in labor.

It might be good to reach out to your fellow Z enthusiast in Arizona to recommend a shop nearby. https://www.desertzassociation.com/ https://www.facebook.com/DESERTZASSOCIATION/

I would try Z Car Doctor in Idaho https://zcardoctor.com/ The small s-slip that keeps the choke cables together went missing on my '72. He didn't have it, but connected me with another Z parts collector that had one 🙂

Here's a post with actual measurements:

They would make a cute couple 😉

Someone needs to call her....

I would love to add another Z to my stable. Unfortunately, I'm on thin ice with the Boss of the House.

I'm looking forward to seeing this example going up for auction on BaT. The level of effort and detail is exemplary 👍

Add this to your collection too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Datsuns_(album)

Didn't you get the memo? All Classic Z Car members must wear their requisite pieces of flair when posting 😉

How about an actual classiczcar.com website sponsor?

Maybe Brock Yates had a heavier right foot than David E. Davis, which could account for the time difference. 😉 I still miss those guys and their style. Damn good automotive writers too!

@HS30-H Thank you for setting the record straight and pointing out the inaccuracies of the video. I take anything posted on YouTube with a grain of salt when it comes to historical accuracy. It is often more about generating Likes 👍 and ad revenue 💰 than integrity of the subject matter presented.

Sadly the car appears to be restored on the cheap with many corners cut with the intent of flipping it for maximum profit. There's a lot of work to undo and much money to be spent on this vehicle to get it to a point where a correct restoration can begin. Frankly, I'd rather start a rusty basket case than this. At least that way it wouldn't be like peeling back an onion of hidden surprises.

The floor pan repairs look kind of shoddy...IMHO.

Have you reached out to the Z Car Club of Colorado? https://www.zccc.org/ They are currently holding meeting via Zoom. Details are on their website, Twitter and Facebook page.

Interesting first post to introduce yourself to this forum🙄 Welcome anyway.

Want a second shot at a 2000GT??? https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1967-toyota-2000gt-2/

Nice Toyota 2000GT, but another white beauty with a 5-speed has caught my fancy 😉

Hopefully if the bidding crosses the million-dollar mark, the seller with throw in five-dollar gas voucher and pine tree air freshener to hang from the mirror 😆

I had the opportunity to get up close and personal with one at a car meet in San Luis Obispo a few years ago. The original (and current) owner purchased it new when he was in the US Navy stationed in Hawaii.
