Crack open a beverage, sit back and enjoy a video about those 37 240's restored for the Factory in the 90's.

Great Video Colin.

Our club member Kevin McCarthy's brown Z car was restored by Pierre in CA shortly after the formal restoration campaign ended. His original Z body was swapped out with a CA body as his was too badly rusted.
And we all know where Lucky No. 13 came from. :wink:

But #13 is an original car, not a Vintage Restoration...... :?

We held our April 2013 Monthly Meeting at Grossman's Nissan in Old Saybrook. One of their service technicians, Dick Davis, gave us a great 30 minute stand-up presentation about the laborious details involved in the 1997 Vintage Z Restoration program. Dicky had worked on the air-conditioning installation of each car during that program, and helped coordinate other install steps along the way.

Datsun/Nissan lost money on each of those cars. Originally planning to restore about 200 cars, Nissan bought lots of used 240Zs at $10,000 apiece, poured a ton of money into restoring each one, but sold only 37 of them for only about $25,000 per unit. The Vintage cars can bring over $100,000 at auction today and win awards at every event they enter.
