I recently watched this episode of Garage Squad on the Velocity Channel as well. Hey, let's put things in perspective guys: I'm just glad to see a 240Z featured on one of these shows. They almost...
Yes, an early 260Z with the smaller bumpers, not the "park bench" bumpers of the later 260Zs and 280Zs.
I agree, $28k seems pretty high for this car. I would say high teens at best, but it's hard to tell from the pictures. For that kind of money, the body and paint would need to be in almost flawless...
I just got off the phone with Dave the owner, a very nice guy. The car's original color was green and it was originally purchased in California. Dave has owned the car for 34 years and it has always...
Not in the best shape and needs a lot of work, but it's a blue on blue car, which are tough to find. Here's the link:

Whatever happened to this car? Here's the link to a PDF copy of the eBay listing with the final sales price (be sure to increase the PDF size):

So, we have the prototype Z-Whiz with Red Line tires where the seller is asking over $4k for it and we have a production (non-Red Line) car that is in bad condition. Are the old production Red Line...

Last time I saw one was quite a few years ago at Speedway junkyard in Erie, CO. Here's the 280Z that I took a picture of that day:
Here's another '69 production car (HLS30-00051) that recently sold on BaT. Looking at rear deck on the interior picture, you can see that it is also originally green.

HLS30-00486 located in Hayward, CA sold for $6,550.00 with 5 bids. Based on the pictures, I think this was a very good deal for a '69 production car. It appears to be pretty solid with not much rust....
Perhaps it was Car Crazy? Barry Meguiar goes all over the world and that sounds like something that he would cover on his show. Car Crazy moved from the Speed Channel to Velocity after the channel...
Very cool! Thanks for the all the great information, Alan. Just curious, how many of the approximately 25 original PS30-SB Fairlady Z432-R cars are known to exist today? Also, any idea of what the...
Looks like Fred replaced the rear center piece with a '73 rear piece and reused the original '70 thru '72 rear bumper guards. As Dr. 240Z mentioned, he had to install the guards upside down in order...
Alan, Would the PS30-SB Fairlady Z432-R be the rarest of the lot?
I had my clock done by Ron at Zclocks about two and a half years ago and it looks like new and is still running strong! I highly recommend!
I love the '70 and '71 blue on blue 240Zs, especially the Series I cars. However, that car in Idaho looks like it's going to take a lot to get her restored. I like that fact that it's a '70, which...

That's great news, Steve! Please let me know when they are available to purchase.
Great, eye-catching color! Looking forward to more pictures as you progress.
Excellent work! What color are you going to paint the car?
I just got off the phone with the seller and the car was sold. He said he thought that he had deleted all of the Craigslist listings, but he keeps getting calls. I told him that it was still active...
AJ, Do you recall if it is a '71 Series I or Series II car? I see that it has a Series I steering wheel and it's hard to tell in the picture if it has the Series I "240Z" emblem behind the quarter...
Excellent decision to jump on this one and I love the 918 Orange! Looking forward to seeing the pictures of the project.
I have approximately 6 of the Hitachi 240Z AM/FM radios and 2 of the 240Z AM radios plus a few of the 260Z/280Z radios that I have purchased over the years. The only problem is that I don't have...
