BIGJIM Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Im picking up a 1970 240z thats in excellent shape. I plan to gut it to a shell and do a complete paint job, inside and out! The original color is dark green and the plan is to build a car that will be worth every penny that i put into it and more. It will have a stock look with the exception of a lowered stance, wheels and aftermarket front valance/spoiler. Ive seen 1970 240z's got for 12-15k on ebay and i want to get top dollar for it some day when i sell it. My last 240z i painted orange, one before that was red. Looking for opinions!! I did this car last winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rahail240 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 i think orange is still a cult color for the zed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 My color Ford Dark Shadow Grey and Austin's (240hoke) Toyota Spectra Blue are my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garvice Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 yeah, very nice with those wheels. I have always been a fan of the original green (yes I know its a 2+2) Still like your orange though, think it looks nicer than red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturbo 930 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 i think this is by far my favorite stock 240z color picture taken from here: http://zhome.com/History/ZColorGallary/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

240hoke Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I guess it depends on what audience you are going for. The older guys that are paying top dollar and are more of collectors instead of drivers are gonna remember the cars they wanted as kids. And in that case the vintage Datsun colors are where its at. Burnt Orange, Lime green etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veritech-z Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I'm partial to white personally, either that or flat black... I don't think that'll get you too much from the collector crowd, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavyZ Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I dont get it Seriously? The color that "everyone" thinks of as being 'best' for a Z car. Kind of like a standard of sorts methinks. I personally vote for silver. Boring? Maybe. Understated? Perhaps. Stealthy yet classy? Most certainly! "Silver"....say it with me now, "Silver"....

Challenger Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I think you can safely say silvers are the most "popular" colors for Z cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
