Those who know me know that I am very particular about who works on my car and the modifications are well thought-out. Clearly, the paint job isn\u2019t 100% award-winning quality, but it does look very lovely from 5+ feet and shows well. I had a decision to make about a year ago to paint the entire car back to the original Spanish Red (Code 664). The estimates were between $6K-$8K as the vehicle would have needed minimal bodywork and no rust repair. I was just about to move forward with the paintwork when I realized what would happen after that. Knowing my personality, I would have been worried about keeping the perfect paint, well\u2026perfect. With everything invested into the suspension and motor and finally have everything dialed in, I just wanted to drive it around town and on vintage rallies. So decided to not do the paint and instead do some touch up to the existing body.

In short, this is the car that a bunch of us dreamed of if we'd had the means to pull it off. @JoMaHa The 510 community probably does have different standards than some other communities. It's populated by an odd bunch of grassroots true believers that loved these little tin cans for reasons far beyond prestige and ultimate performance. These folks have tinkered with these for generations with no real hope of appreciation until very recently. So to take this beautiful specimen and paint it in a racing livery that's been done to death, and chop up it's original body for flares is just a big bummer for some of us with \"low standards\".

My friends find it odd since I always loved 240Zs and still own the one I bought new in 1972. You have a kind of oddball collection that you've bought here and it seems you like goofy cars too.
