The 240zg is so beautiful. Thanks for the links. What part of California are you from Jayne? Ben

The meet time and destination is settled. We are going to have a meet this coming Saturday, being the 22nd of May. We are going on a drive up Mt. Hamilton. It is in San Jose and we are going to be meeting at the closest spot to park once getting off on the Alum Rock exit off of the 680 Freeway. It should be a great meet. So far the attendants are Dreco, 280z, and myself. I know, there are only a few of us, but the more the better, so Zlishous and Ares, if you guys can come it would be that much more awesome. Anyone is invited. If anyone needs anymore details on the meet, pm me and I will try to send you info as soon as possible or I can send you my Cell#. Take care, Ben p.s. Don't be shy, come to the meet because the drive is going to be great.

This car is absolutely beautiful. I love the steel wheels and hubcaps. Man, that car just looks great. I am in love:love: . I really hope this car gets a great home. Zs' definately look sporting in red. -Ben:love: p.s. I really want those wheels and covers.

That ZG has been on yahoo JP awhile now. I think you can pick up a very nice ZG for 25k. Someday I am going to ship one over here. That is after I restore my baby. Ben

Thanks Guus, that sure is the picture of the Fall/Kempley car in the MC historic. Ben:classic:

I was reading about this historic rally in the May 2004 "MiniWorld" magazine and it stated that the highest placed UK team was of Tony Fall and Mike Kempley in a 240Z. They placed 53rd out of 276 that completed the rally; there were 351 entrants. Their car number is no. 45. I was trying to open one of the pictures of the car, but the page had expired. It is a red zed with no black hood and it has a drop bumper with 2 huge night driving lights. Ben

I was browsing through this month's "Classic Car and Thoroughbred" magazine and there was a small add for a 1965 Nissan Silvia for sale. It was being offered at 5000UK and the article stated that it was the only one of its kind in the UK. I wish I had pictures, but it did look in need of a restoration. I just thought this might be interesting. Ben

My US 260 came with a Jeco.

That seems too steep to me. How did it drive? What is the interior condition like? How is the rust going to be repaired? The body does not sound all that great, and 5000 dollars should get you a lot more. They might be asking that price only because it is a 1970 and they think they can get more for it. Maybe someone else can submit their words of wisdom, but from your description I would have to say pass, unless they want to go down in price. Ben

This is a really funny site. I especially like the Arnold parities. Take a look and look at some of the other parities. They are quite funny. http://www.politicaltoons.com/flash/hasta_la_vista.cfm -BenROFL

Thank you Lachlan for the link. That is one mean looking KGC10. I love the Longchamps and the Nardi steering wheel.

You said it pretty well Chris. I am not sure of a ZG outside of Japan besides Alan's, but I am sure there are some. I too would like to know where these cars are. I don't even know how many ZG's were made. How many 240ZG's were produced? Anyone. However, somewhere around 420 Z432's were produced from what I read on a Japanese site, and one supposedly made its way to Australia. I wonder how true this is? I have always been curious if any of these cars are in the US. I am sure there has to be somewhere, but I have never seen them at a show or anything. Maybe they are locked away. hehehe. I hope I find one in a barn someday. Errr, that sounds more like a Chevy story. Okay, a barn in Japan. -Ben:stupid:

Wow! You guys are going to have one hell of a trip!!! How many kilometers is the trip going to cover? How many Z's are going on this trip? Guus, I am so envious of you. Your car is going to be right at home. The rally Zcar in a very long European rally. I am sure you will stir up some emotion with fellow enthusiasts if they ever saw a works car in a rally of the period. Take as many pictures as you guys can. Maybe this will inspire the North American folks to have a sight seeing journey in their Z's someday. Grand Canyon anyone??? Hahaha. Enjoy your trip guys. -Ben (I want to go) At least I will get to see pictures:classic: .

Just to clarify on what Lachlan said, the "P" stands for the S20 engine. Thus, KPGC10, KPGC110, and our favs, PS30 and PS30-SB. I followed the link that you posted Cuong, but it did not work. Anyways, I would love to see pics of that GC10 of yours Jeff. I am proud to say that I saw one of these cars up close and personal and it was breath taking. It was a GC10:classic:. -Ben http://www.classicZcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=4803&password=&sort=7&thecat=500

I did not know James on a personal basis, but all the people on the forum here are my penpals and this is tragic what happened to James. I had run into him quite a few times because he had some of the same Z interests as I did and I hope he is in a better place. My thoughts will be with you and your family. Sincerely, Ben Yount
