I agree.

pretty cool.

Thank you!

Hmmm...I hear ya. I'm certainly not in it to win myself, but I do vote for the fun of it. I found the choice for best 280 stock to be interesting, yet a pleasant surprise. It's the car I voted for. Now, with the 260 in question, I just don't know about that. If anything the "peer choice" really opens up the field and all bets are off essentially. I can only imagine what the other owners of the 260 stock class thought. Maybe every other contender won in previous years so it was time to award someone different? Still, I feel the results defy logic. In the end the show was still a blast!

Ah cool....I'll look into that. We have to get up there! I wish it was in the Z .

Ah rad! Love both bands! I was lucky to catch Bauhaus when they went on tour again.

Haha! Fair enough.

OK, this car. This was a joke, right? I even saw the owner of this 260 accept his award. Not trying to be disrespectful. I just want somebody to confirm this was the winner for 260 stock......Yeah, I know....I sound nuts.

????? Really dude?

I know that "original and untouched" 260Z. I swear the award went to another car. I am beginning to feel someone was playing a joke after the awards ceremony.

This is my band's first music video. My car is featured briefly in it for a few scenes. I had to get the Z in it somehow yes, that's me singing hehe. Enjoy everyone. Thank you! Peeling Grey - James Quarterly (Music Video) - YouTube

Hah! There were at least three other 260s that were stock....and presentable. I'll upload some pics tonight. I really hate to be the guy to say, "Why did that guy win?" But, after you see the pics maybe you'll understand. Trust me.

Great cars indeed, and a fun show once again......But, I do have one question: Did anyone see the car that won best 260Z stock? Ummm........I am not saying a word for the moment. Just shocked.

I paid over $150 here in California. I have a vanity plate, registration fees, and part of my payment goes towards a charity for the coast.....I'm about ready to drop the charity and vanity plate. My Z32 was just over $100.

Hehe....Yes. Black Gold takes the cake

Sure It is interesting indeed. I'd like to see this in real life.

Tell ya what.....I am short on funds to get the processing going for new plates, but when I have the money I'll hit you up. Vanity plates cost more, and I need to keep my registration fees lower for next year. It should go to someone like you for sure

Looking forward to returning to the original spot...Great memories revisited and new ones for sure. I'll be be the guy with the FRLDY Z plate....No, I do not own a right hand drive car. I've had thoughts of passing the open slot in the DMV records to someone that really deserves that vanity plate. Anyway, if anyone is in the Pasadena are hit me up! I would love to arrive in a small caravan.

Yes, I've read some really old threads on this board about structural integrity after such a modification. It sounds like something that of a roll cage would have to be installed? Nevertheless, if I had the money I would consider it. One reason why I bought my Z32 was because of the T-Top. It's like Michael Knight in a Z

http://zhome.com/History/240Accessory.htm Here's the link...Found it! And I stand corrected. The factory did not burn down .

I've read the story about how this was in the works as an aftermarket option back in the 70's for the S30; Yes, a first gen Z with a targa top. I cannot remember where I saw the article...Maybe it was on Zcar.com. It does not appear in my Google search either. Anyway, as the story goes the factory burnt down (or something) and so did the dream of having Z-Tops. Does anyone have any information on this? Also, has anyone ever seen an S30 with Z-Tops? I'd go for it.

I'm glad your new sports car is working out. I never thought about the stress of driving an old Z around. I just figured the parts are out there and more plentiful than a Delorean or something like that. But, I read some of your blog and really admired the 240. I'm glad she has a new home. I gotta wonder how much the guy paid for . After all, bringing a car overseas is no small nor cheap feat. Glad to still see you around here even after Z life

Arne: Do you like the Porsche more? I have to ask

....By the time I can afford such an engine, It may be time for a new tranny. Mine was rebuilt less than 100K ago. Still has a lot of life left in it. Good to know.

When doing the turbo swap is it recommended to upgrade the the transmission that came with the ZX turbo?
