Can anyone confirm the colour on this car?

No - Peter Campbell has posted on here before and he is the owner of my old 240z 00016 - and Pete is modifying 00016 some what - nothing that could not be undone if need be but again your car just do with it as you wish and enjoy

Wow, so my zed that doesn't have a VIN at all must be really desirable.....well once the quarter window and steering column are fixed

Hi Scoota
Yep that ones sweet. Dont like how high it is. Hope you guys had a good run home. Always good to meet other members
problem here in SA is there aint that many.

the colour looks like 918 Orange  Katokid
Thats one of my choices of colour and i do like the black bonnet

Fuzzy dice a must have for any 70's car.

Peter mc26, Thats why im not after a big horsepower road car asi have the RB in the track car that gets my speed fix
out of the way so this will be a nice cruiser.

Galderdi. Yes i do like the black bonnet look as you can tell by my other car , Do you have a pick of the tan ?

Nizmozed, I dont have intensions to sell it but some times s**t happens and the toys are the first to go. If i put the
flares on i would have to cut the arches out as i like my cars as low as i can get them and i dont think the look is worth the
cutting.

My vote goes to keeping it factory with numbers that low

Hi Guys,
Well the general opinion appears to be along the lines of what i was going
for anyway which is  "Dont Stuff with it to much as its a pretty early car"

So Thanks all for your input .

Regards

For what it is worth Paul I have a low number 240 (408) and I have almost completed (ie 99%) a 2.5 yr full resto on it. It's a full-on tarmac rally car but visually I have kept the original lines with only adding factory spec front and rear spoilers, as well as a 432 grill. I have original brand new 240Z door mirrors on both sides. Rims are after market but are Nismo branded Enkei rims. Interior wise I have a full welded in cage and Velo race seats but have kept the full original interior (all brand new) to keep its originiality plus an aftermarket Nismo steering wheel and gear knob. The whole interior is black so from a distance you don't notice the full cage and race seats. Mechanical wise it has a full race spec L28 (as original L24 was lost) running triple 45s (making 154 rwkw), with adjustable struts, R32 front calipers, R31 rear calipers and R200LSD. It has been resprayed in its original factort spec red which is actually a very nice colour red. Thus from a distance its looks very original except for the rims (and large exhaust); it's only on closer inspection that its real purpose is identified.

My navigator has just purchased chasis 232 but as it is a complete car with matching numbers he will restore it to full factory spec and keep it as his Sunday driver (he has an STi as his daily one).

Ultimatley the above two early build cars have different purposes and are being restored accordingly. And therein lies your answer. Restore it to how you intend to use it BUT if you do modify it keep it to factory options for visiable things given yours is a complete matching number one. And for originality respray it it's original colour (which is?) But that's just my opinion......

One of my all time favorite tasteful. Is to upgrade the exhaust with a 2 1/2 inch pipe. Also throw on some headers, with a really nice muffler. Also a nice front spoiler to add some character. Lastly a sexy pair of shoes (wheels). If your not looking to cut upo your car. Then i wouldn't add flares. But it's your car "enjoy the ride".

Im in the same boat as Ledge, ive got chassis #39 in the process at the moment. The original l24 was gone along with heaps of other stuff. It could be restored back to original but it would be alot of work. The way i see it, if your going to go through building a car, investing heaps of time and money you should have it the way you want it. I think all period mods are ok, engine conversions arnt. My car will have, ZG flares, Watanabes and a L series.
Thats my opinion.
