Thanks Doug, good to know. There is also Lou Mondello in Moorabbin locally.

I'm sure he's popular in the neighbourhood.

Attaching some photos of the full brochure for the Green AU market 240z. Len Brennan showed me this brochure many years ago in person and I've not been able to find the images again until Kats posted them on Classiczcars.com. I still like to think this could have been #51, although no way to know or verify it really.

Looks like a "whale tail" which was popular in the 90s. Similar to the bird bath spoilers of the 80s found on many RX-7's.

Nice wheels, wish I could afford a set! Very very few panel shops are good at keeping on track time wise.

Mazda 1200 Coupe with rotary conversion (R100 tribute). https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Mazda-1200-1969/SSE-AD-5700456/?gts=SSE-AD-5700456&gtssaleid=SSE-AD-5700456&rankingType=Spotlight Nice clean build!

Considering it had a 260z rear valance panel and looks to have it's fair share of body filler in it. That's a good result. Also not sure how HS30 it still is.. more like HLS30..these days.

And here is a 4 door (Japan market only I believe) r100.. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/Mazda-R100-1971/SSE-AD-5704470

$400+ for a legit part no. Nissan version. I have some 5spd buttons that were made as reproductions (not sure I have any spares left). You can pick they are reproductions but they look the part.

Well keep the dash frame as reproduction skins may become available. I have a RHD (240z sorry) dash that I am going to send to the US for a friend over there to use as a template for re-making dashboards. They only have LHD completed versions so far. https://www.instagram.com/vintagedashes/?hl=en Well stop looking :). Which reminds me of a joke. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/bono-of-contention/

By the way Jason is it just the stuff pictured or is there more engine stuff not in the photos? Fasteners etc..?

@Léon timing cover + lash pads and rocker arms..

This. I would talk to Dashboard Doctor in Coburg. https://www.dashboarddoctor.com.au/ They may be able to repair the missing foam. At least it's not around the bezels of the gauges as such and a relatively flat area. Although I'd probably want to decontaminate any rat crap myself :). I'd be all suited up in a hazmat suit working on the interior of this car haha.

If it's an early 240z, to me cut guards are a big negative. However not many years ago people were hacking up early cars without a thought as they were the cheap Z's! At some point 260z's in original shape may be considered highly collectible in original condition and hacking guards may be frowned upon. Especially if it's done to fit a massive set of rota wheels..

I've got 4 Z's and don't plan to hack any guards up! The look is over cooked these days in my humble opinion.

https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-fryerstown-129531410 So anyone want to send in some donations so we can start the Auszcar headquarters? I can imagine 20 bays of rusty Z's all being restored with a beer fridge and community tool racks. Maybe even a spray booth.

260z's were known for vapour lock with the flat top carbs on them. Hence the return line would have been important (240z's also had it however). I don't see any insulation on the fuel rail, but they did have an "asbestos based" heat shielding on them. I believe 74 260z's would have had an electric pump from factory (although it may have come later in 75). The mechanical pump was definitely phased out later on. So the electric pump may be stock? Or a later replacement? Service manuals are floating around on the web, but there was a few versions of the flat tops used and so may not be 100% accurate depending on what you're looking at.
