nice lookin car you got there too andy, i like the old skool license plate frame .. ya im around the sj area a lot as well.. last south bay meet was my first, but it seems pretty cool.. not enough Z folks tho!

Mark, actually I was there! if you look at the pics, I think I was the only 240Z that came before 10:30pm

Oh, only 20 miles ish away from me.. nice to know someone else is doing a resto-mod. It'd be cool if a few people in the bay had a meet once in awhile. Haven't got a good chance to take a solid look at any other Z cars besides mine

Yep, all VINs match.. Swiss Cheese Rear Deck Tools/Jack behind Seats Covered holes for 240Z Quarter Panel Badge Horizontal (only) heater vents Chromed coat hanger etc. etc. etc. etc. Just odd circumstances why this car would look like a Series II. But I've done my research and all fingers point towards Series I.

a blue interior is what i originally wanted! but I couldn't find one.. i don't know anyone selling original seats, but if i cross one i'll definately let u know!

Hello there, Just wanted to introduce myself to everyone.. I am a new Z owner in the Bay Area (Cupertino). I have had my car since November 1 and already introduced myself on hybridz.org but I thought it'd be cool to get to know some folks here. I bought HLS30-005889, an Early 1971 Series I, in Glendale, CA (blue plate original CA car) from the second owner. Made the 5 hours drive down south and managed to pick this beauty up. The color is 903 Dark Blue, and from what I've gathered... the only modifications at the time of purchase were an 70 's Escort Cruise Control, AC, MSD Electronic Ignition, and 280Z 5 spd transmission. Unfortunately the engine codes don't match, which works out because I plan to put a L28ET in... When I bought the car, for some reason the old owner replaced the hatch and C pillar emblems so that the car would look like a Series II (emblems and vents). So I am in the process of bringing it back to its former self. So far I've added new Tokico Springs/Shocks with Energy Bump Stops, a Xenon Front Air Dam and Endlink bushings, and a 280ZX alternator. Most of my time has been dedicated to cleaning it up, even though it was extremely clean from the beginning. I have a AZC front disc brake kit, full energy bushing kit, and rota rb-r wheels, ready to go in asap. Every modification I do will be 100% reversable, as I know low VIN Z's are hard to come by. Anyways.. it's gonna be nice to meet some new people!
