HS30 00240.  I've heard it is rusting away on a farm under a tree in WA somewhere and was too far gone to be restored. Considered deceased, unless proved otherwise.

HS30 00107.

904 White.

Car 107

 

It had been in that shed since 1984! Full restoration underway.

 

Also bought Arnold Glass' personal 240, that was being brought up from an event in Melbourne and was rolled with the driver dying in the accident. It will be a truly massive job. It is numbered in the 1400s from memory

This 1 in 907 Green? Would love to know the exact number. HS30 014XX? Mid to late 71?

Is it 107 or 170? I had it down as #170.

Oh shit, I think it is 170. I'll take a photo of the compliance plate tomorrow.

 Were there 2 greens for the 70-71 cars?  Looking at photos of car number 409 and 575 and car number 318 (see my post number #357 page 18 on this thread) to me they all look like colour 907, but looking at a brochure from the USA on the 1970 Z's there is this photo which the green looks a lot lighter  and the same colour in Gav's  post #456 above.

Could be 113 green in the shaded lighting, but 113 came late 71 from memory.  Potentially is just bad print quality on 907 ?

[s13drifter]

The white car is confirmed as #171

 

Green is confirmed as #1686

Are you the guy that bought the 280z shell off of gumtree? I think I remember that green 240z...

#741

I was going though an old hard drive and found a number of images including some of #741

I remember looking at this car about 15 + years ago going by the dates on the images on a large country type property in the outer east of Melbourne .

The owner had been "given" the car as a spare shell and was asking $6k for it at the time .

It was pretty much a striped shell with a roll cage , seam welded and rose jointed suspension etc. No drive train , interior , wiring loom , lights or bumpers .

Not sure if it ever sold or if it's still sitting in the old barn !

 

Cheers Doug

No I didn't buy a 280.

Only photos you've got? The car was recorded on the first page of this thread, original owner tried to find it with no luck. Thought it was crushed. Hopefully it's still out there though! Those photos seem to indicate it was solid enough. Shame about the holes cut in the door shell.

[smugley]

No outer body pic's just interior and chassis .

Very solid with no rust but missing load's of parts .

 

I might have to go for a drive and see if it's still in the barn !!!

 

 

That's all the images I have

Hi smugley,

 

The car is still alive it's at my place. No idea how it got down here. It looks exactly the same except it has deteriorated somewhat as it had been sitting outside without cover for about 10 years. It now needs sills, rear of floor replaced and quite a bit of work on the doors. If it had of been looked after it would have been any easy resto.

 

Thanks for the history. I was looking at the photos and thought that roll cage mounts on the roof just like mine and the floor mounts are the same too, just my car is more rusty in the floor, weird...... then it clicked that it was a younger version of my car.

I have spent the last two weeks on the welder fixing holes in the doors and it wasn't these ones

 

I had mistakenly listed mine as 761 when it was 741.Originally orange.

 

The original owner might be quite sad if he saw the state of it now, but at least it's still alive.

Well now you know who the original owner was (JackWarnock), that's gotta count for something surely?

Hullo Frank

 

I really enjoyed your story. There won't be many stories like this to be told because it just doesn't happen. I bought my first 240Z in August, 1971 (HS30 00741). I had to sell it in 1976 unfortunately. Several years ago I wanted to revisit that 240Z experience of so many years ago. The first thing I did was to check on the registration (NSW Australia) of the car. I found that the original registration of the 1971 car was "available" - meaning that my original car was probably beer cans.

 

The original registration was BBQ-240. I reserved it right there and it is now the only connection with my current 1973 Fairlady 240Z (HS30 103407)purchased in 2003.

 

When I went to take delivery of my new 240Z in 1971 I asked the dealer how he managed to obtain the registration number (BBQ-240) and he looked at me strangely and wondered why I would ask!! He explained that he wasn't aware of the interesting plate - it was what the registration office issued him at the time. I thought it was quite an amazing coincidence!!

 

Great to read your story. I think many of us will be interested in seeing some photos and hearing of your refreshment of your "old" 240Z. Thanks again.

 

Regards, Jack

It's certainly nice to know a bit of the history of it. Just missing the few years now from 1976 to about 2002.

 

I was quite amazed so see that post from the original owner. Thanks for the link Gav.

[gav240z]

Yeah I wish I could find the first owners of my cars. Would love to talk to them about buying them new.

I think everyone here would love to talk to the original owners of their cars. Would make for some interesting conversations.

 

If only our cars could talk!
