Hey Gav, re the green Z , Have to say when I got my 260 wasn't my first pick of colour . Not even a factory green , but, its really grown on me and I think the car looks amazing in it!

I did get a quote from above peeps about a year ago and was going to be around $400? I did get some 260z wheel caps done from a place in the shire for $50 a piece and they did a pretty good job ! Said they could do the tailight surrounds for around $180 ballpark (depending on amount of prep work , sanding etc)

Hey James , I'll grab the choke hazard defogger lights if still available . If the 260 badges falls through i'll grab them as well Thanks , Will

Hey Gav , I have a a new drivers side card and a kind of ok set if you want borrow to see if trimmers could do something here !. I'm pretty keen to get a complete set in as new condition . thanks, Will

Maybe Mazda will beat Nissan at its home game?

Gav , being a 70's kid , the Z was always the car that I thought was the epitome of cool ! Question is, how many do you need? Have my 260 ,ex Dave (Rev Zed's) green car , love it ! 2 seater , hmmm, not , family friendly , so trying to convince the other half that a good 2+2 would be a good daily , child friendly option ! Not the right forum area, but do you or any of the more experienced Z owners think that you could have a Z as a roughly 10 -15 km per day as a daily ? As a side note , have had Mini's (never any problems) Triumph dolomite ( probably not best car for maintenance as a teenager) , EJ Holden Premier , (loved it till caught on fire at servo in Woolloomooloo) and VW type 3 Wagon (loved that car ,till engine fell out out on the Harbour Bridge) We just leased a BMW 1 series for business ( partners dream car ) so selling the Mazda CX7 and 2 ( no money spent during warranty period , great cars , but time to go . What do you guys think re a 260 2+2 as a limited daily drive ?

Great footage , you guys should be proud! Love the fact that you can drag your slicks in the trailer! . Colour looks great, ( adopted Rev's Green 260, not original green, but really suits the car ) So cool that you can kick that big butt Porsche ass ("OMG , it looks like one of those rap guys girlfriend!) and drive home looking like its straight from the factory ! Well done , credit to your craft! If I ever get the cajones to get on a track , good to know there is so much knowledge and advice on the forum .

Hey Gav , think your probably right , would be a good deal for OS buyer . Quite amazing the prices that the 240's are achieving ! Not the best example, but interesting ,in that my fathers old concours winner TR6 is for sale at $25k and he wouldn't expect to get more than mid 20's for his pretty close to concours winning Stag ( ok , here come the Triumph jokes) But ,as his was a generation that grew up with English , Italian , German sports cars ,with a bit of disdain for the Japanese product its interesting that the Z is finally getting a bit of cred, re being a collectable classic. Seems that the playing field is being levelled, and, as close to possible original Z's and thoughtful modified examples will hopefully continue to be appreciated .

According to the CTS site, it's sold! Wonder if they got the asking price, $72,995 ? If so, someone made a big profit .

I would also be curious to see a console pic from an original 75 260 2 seater as I'm missing a few switches and warning lights . Seems like there were a few different variations from market to market ( as in most models ) . Any help would be greatly appreciated , thanks ', Will

Hey Gav , wondering if you received those pics I sent of the early 260 cards I bought from the States . Do you think they matched up to your ones ? Is the chrome? Trim that chrome tape or is it actually applied as the original was ? Thanks, Will

I'll buy 2 shares ,$50 plus a same donation to the site if it happens !
