Beasts are not afraid of rain.
It's not water, it artificial salt used in winter, on the roads, . But if you bed liner your entire under side and interior floor area. You would be a beast, when you drive in any thing but snow/ salt conditions.
Beautiful, Car, I know that internal smile is on, every time you take it out !
Another Japanese Ferrari lives !

Nice paint job, I bought one in 1998 two seater 260z 1974 sky blue we had the option of 2+2 here in Australia side mirrors were on the doors. The only problem I had with car is sometimes the accelerator linkage near the SU carburetor would pop out at worst time, I just got of the Harbour Bridge here in Sydney Australia to go to Neutral Bay and pop the linkage comes of in the middle of the intersection, little did I know at the time that would be a memory I would be reminiscing about in the future, thanks for posting,

Very nice! I love the root beer color! I’ve got a early 260 in light metallic blue with white/tan interior, love her! Not a fan of the fender mirrors and the modern CD player in the console but to each their own. Awesome!

This reminds me of my old car. Same model and color. So cool you didn't put fender flares on it. Great job on the restoration.

I had this car... always lovingly referred to as "The Z" ... Same color, but ALL black interior ... Dad used to drive us to the beach and we'd be in the back with innertubes and the back up when we were kids... good times... then when I turned 16, it was mine and I drove it for about 4 or 5 years... wish I had kept it. Nice! I miss the choke and the power and I always loved the feel of the gear shifter too.

Really nice! I just picked up a 260 that I’ll be working on directly. It’s nice to see posts like yours so people can see how cool these cars are.

Love your car, I’m in nc also . It will be nice to see it . I’m desperate to have one, I used to have a datsun 280 zx back in 1996, unfortunately I sold it, it was automatic, cool

This is fantastic. I like your taste, your vibe, seats suck, but it is all good. Love it. How about a new decent radiator? Wheels, color...very sweet. ..and mirrors and color really nice.

She's a beauty! Is there a Link to sale??

[fifteenbyfive]

Needs a new oil sender. You can try cleaning the connections and giving the old one a few taps to see if it comes to life but I doubt it will.

Were did you buy all the door seal rubber and window seals from?

[spartanrooster]

does the paint is a stock color code ?

[tracywalden]

It is most likely my Old D, which was giving to me. Drop the shank black wheels. 24

Fads suck. Black rims. Keep it cool. I would complain about what you got for too. Stop also much. Listen and learn. How old are you ????
