well after months of searching i finally for myself a 240z and not just a regular 240z a 1970 model made in March with Vin# 02062. Best of all it was practically in my back yard only 40 mins drive. I love the condition although it sat outside with the window half open for the last 2 years the only things i need to replace are the floor pans.....
the body is extremely straight the doors close and latch completely, hood lines up perfectly. I dont really wanna post up a big novel so here's the pics.....

well this weekend i got some racking up to store the parts as i take them off the car...

and also taken care of a little spider problem... apparently the car had a nest in it, cause i've killed about 15-20 spiders since i got the 240z and they keep coming..
So i really wasn't winning the battle but i will win the war....

Pretty much the interior is done.. just got the firewall insulator and a few wires... i'll that these off after pulling the engine..

Took the hood off and started unbolting the passenger fender.

the original headliner and a-pillar is in great shape

this is probably the last of the deconstruction for this year...
gotta put the Z on the side so my wife could park in the garage.

^^ you gotta love the inlet on the dust shield for cooling the brakes..

pretty good stuff just surface rust not rot..

any other 240z owners on the board?

 

[gen2_4door]

I'm not an owner, but my dad had one back in the day he bought brand new in that same color! Him and i have really wanted to do this same thing and build a 240Z ourselves. Great progress already man.

originally i wanted to build a hybrid but the way the shell is soo good.. and its a numbers matching cars pluss the very low VIN... i'm just gonna do a straight up restore from factory...

 

[tripleJs15]

[ramman434]

Looks like a great project man

 

[T3AM SPOTLIT3]

yeah restore it,and nice found bro

 

[nukefivesix]

maybe the one of the best looking cars ever made, keep up the good work

 

[Whatawookie]

Looks very good for a nearly 40-year old car known for rust. It's hard to find one that solid anymore. Keeping it the same color?
