Before I paste this, I would say use those mods to lower the cost. Just say "You know if that wasn't there I could see paying that much!" if you know what I mean... Then buy it and put it back to stock if you want to other then matching numbers... IMHO

Some points of interest about the 69 production year cars:
The first three regular production Z Cars brought to North America were used for Press Introductions on the West Coast and then made the rounds on the U.S. Show Car circuit. After which, one was sent to Bob Sharp Racing (BSR), to be used for the factory sponsored racing program on the East Coast. BSR received Z Car #HLS30 00006 sooner than expected, when a professional model, hired to show the car, sat on the roof and dented it!
#HLS30 00006 was a Bob Sharp Racing car.(later driven by Jim Fitzgerald as BSR Race Car #38) This car is today owned by Dr. Allen Robbins of Sharp Site Racing in Onterio NY. Still raced in Vintage Racing Events.
#HLS30 00007 was also Factory Sponsored Race Car sent to Bob Sharp Racing (as far as we can tell), after it made the rounds on the Car Show Circuit. This car is today owned by Ron Cooke of Las Angeles, CA.
#HLS30 00008 was sold to Bob Speckman and campaigned by him - as an SCCA C-Production Car - #14. This was the first Z Car to go 24 Hours at Daytona and finished first in class, and 7th over-all. This car is today owned by Dr. Tom Bork of Rochester NY. This car too, is still raced in Vintage Racing Events.
#HLS30 00016 was the lowest VIN 240Z sold to the Pubic. It is still driven by it's second owner today in the Tampa Bay area of Florida, USA.
According to NISSAN MOTORS OF USA, it is very unusual for any production cars with serial numbers below 00025 to be sold to the public. The first 25 units are usually held at the factory and disassembled for process and quality inspections.
Engine serial numbers (originally installed in cars located to date) range from L24 02079 (installed in HLS30 00042) to L24 3260 (installed in car HLS30 00587).
If you know of any HLS30 240Z's with VINs less than #00501 or with Production Dates of 1969 please let me know....there has got to be several more of these cars still out there somewhere... lets find them all!
