Terrapin Z

Thanks Darrel, Dave filled me in on this as well, Being it is winter, what better time to fix it.

Thanks Adam I had looked at a bunch of cars that people said were "clean" or "nice" and found a bunch of buckets. When the guy opened his garage for this one I knew I had found my ride. A lot of it is what I had in mind to do already. I have seen these type of American Slots a lot and these are usually oxidized, which takes all the elbow grease to bring them back. The old owner had them polished and the slots blacked out, to give them a great look. Now all I have to do is keep up on the polish. Thank you Walter

Thanks for the info on these. The car is originally from Portland the story sounds right. I have see this type of wheel on other Z's but never with the center cap. I agree they are not up to their original snuff, and at this point I am not racing around too much, puttering as you say. Thanks for the input.

Dave, Please put me down for one as well I just replaced my mount with a stock piece and am sure it will rip out again. Id rather have the mount for when it goes than not. PM sent TZ

Thanks Your car is 1000 cars newer than mine.

Hey Arne, This should answer that question. I looked again and I see no checking, the tires are gummy and hold pressure. I took this one pic to ask about the wheels. The seller said they were Per Spec. a dealer option with the car. He was quite excited about them. I have looked on the web and can't find anything. Ever hear or them?

Thanks zlady, I'm in WA State now, I don't think I can make your meetings. Thanks though.

Hi All, I bought my Z a few months ago and have been doing some work on it. I have used this forum for info and product info. I have found it very informative. I am the third owner of this 1970 Z, HLS30-06389. I pretty much bought it as you see it. Owner 2 bought it in 72 and had kept it in his garage most of its life. It has 54,293 miles on it, with a few mods and changes, nicely done though IMHO. Anyway glad to be on board here and I hope I can contribute something other than my two cents. Happy Turkey Day!! TZ
