Interesting name for a color. In Italian "ossi" means "bones." I would have thought that name would have been used for some shade of white or beige.....

Back in about 1973 when I wanted to go with a 5-speed in our 6/70 Z, there were only two options:
(1) to swap in a 5-speed out of an SRL311 2-liter roadster, or (2) bite the bullet and spend the...

Hey Cesar, did you happen to notice the VIN# in addition to the
production date? I keep a file on that type of information......
BTW how much of the car is left? Or should I ask, how much of...

I just stumbled upon this thread.

You guys are evading the real answer to the original question:
"What should I do with my father-in-law's Z?"

The real answer is: "SELL IT TO ME, OF...

You heard correctly, Lonnie! HLS30-00076 is owned by Bill Edens of Louisville KY.
To say she is merely a gorgeous red car with black interior would be a gross under-
statement. For this car NOT...

I sure wouldn't use a tarp over any car being carried on an open trailer,
whether that trailer be a commercial hauler that can carry 9 or 10 cars
or a small one-axle trailer being pulled behind...

Another butterscotch Z owner chiming in now.
Frank, I'm glad to hear you're okay, but what about my "cousin" Sue? Was she with you?

I'm distressed to hear about your car's misfortune, as she's...

Bryce, that's a good comment. Not having owned a '73 I perhaps shouldn't say anything, but the gears are whirling.......
I am pondering how difficult it would be to make an adapter out of strap...

Hi Yury, Rick here.

Check out the www.CTZCC.com website; they are right in your back yard.

I wonder if Yury's intro would help him better if it were located in the "Supporting Vendors"...

Jerry, Rick again.
I wanted to address your question re: optimum size of an enclosed trailer.

Since the Z is only about 13-1/2 feet long, a 20-footer would give you plenty of length, with
about...

Jerry, you need to contact Rance Aluminum Trailers "right up the street from you" in Elkhart. (574) 266-9028.
Tell them Rick Morgan in CT sent you and they will surely slam down the phone. LOL LOL...

Ditto on what 72 OJ said (see above)!

All Z Best,.................Kathy & Rick

Lonnie, how much to just get in, onto the grounds, and look around? I'm sure
that's no freebie, either. And probably another week's pay to get into the
big top and watch the auction on the big...

Just found this thread after several weeks being away.

No, ZHead, as we found out, it's not that red car you're thinking of. The red Z I'm pretty confident
you're talking about is one of TWO...

Hi, Jeff:
I'm sure the other guys have it right, that you meant to say "brown INTERIOR,"
alternately called tan, butterscotch, and probably a few more. However, the
#114 brown EXTERIOR didn't...

Hi, Mr. Humble (may I call you Wick?):

We've been away from this site for awhile and just returned to find
your recent posts re: trying to find your old car, VIN# HLS30-03547.

I have records...

WOW!-- we've been offline for awhile, and this sounds like a fantastic event.
It's something Kathy and I would love to attend, especially since I used to live in Belton.
But as the gentleman from...

Hi, Chris:

Yes, you're absolutely right about a repaint defeating originality in some degree.
I agree with that fully, which is why we left Lucky 13 as an unrestored original.
Fortunately, she...

Hi, Austin, Rick here.
I would definitely drop the tank and have it cleaned out VERY THOROUGHLY if it has been
sitting idle for a long time. Not demeaning any of the suggestions others have...

Thanks, everybody, for your insights and for your assistance.
In appreciation, when we finally spray the car, I'll be sure to share what developed from our quest.

May I mention now, in response...

In 1970, we didn't have "choice of color" when our name came up on the waiting list.
We were fortunate to get a #918 orange car, which was fine, but the color we really
coveted was #919 Sunshine...

Wish we could have joined with y'all today (used to live in Belton), but
nowadays it's a little too far to commute for a weekend.
So instead, we get drowned with downpours while y'all wish for an ...

What a nice story! I just love to read stories of early Z Cars, especially those which
have a happy "ending" (so to speak) such as yours. I have been a 240Z owner for 41
consecutive years, and...

I remember seeing a couple of these "back in the day," but really
don't remember them being sold thru the Parts Dept. Maybe they
were in the Competition Dept catalogue, I really don't remember, ...

What'cha got for a VIN# (serial number) and production date?--
I see it's a Series 1, and some of us are interested in those
types of things...................

All Z...
