- Hey I think that it looks great. I would want to see close up shots though. And have a good look at the top-is it jsut for show or is it really usable. Heck I'd buy it for 2 grand. Daniel 69 2000 SF

- A friend of mine had one of these 2X0 roadsters. He drove his car out to someone in California (San Diego?) who cut the top off, built up the frame, used the top to fabricate a trunk lid and then had

- Look up the weight numbers for the hardtop and convertible versions of the same car, sometime. You'll see that the convertible is always heavier. A hardtop is a mechanically efficient way to stiffen

- As an enthusiastic Z car guy, the word on Z car roadsters is "Be careful," for exactly the reasons noted below. Removing the roof on a Z unit-body kills half the structural ridgidity. The Z body/chas

- As a case in point, back in 1965 or 1966, the Plymouth barracuda came out with the 383, in addition to the standard slant 6 or the 273/318. Like the 240Z. the barracuda was also a uni-body car. A fri
