Hello Everyone. My name is Paul Demming. I own a 1964 SPL310 stock three seater. I found it in the classifieds here in Cleveland, Ohio about five years ago, quite actually by accident. I only went to look because it was listed as a Fairlady, and as you may know, in Japan 240, 260, 280Z, et' al are called Fairlady's. I was truly hoping it would be a right hand drive 280Z. When I first saw the 310, I did'nt know what the hell it was. But of course, I just had to have it!
Anyway, it was in a barn, disassembled, Racoon poop on the front seat. Painted silver over the red with spray can paint. But it was an Arizona car and solid as a rock. Best thing was every missing part was in the top of the Barn in boxes, including five original hubcaps. Yep! You heard it right, FIVE! $1700 dollars later it was sitting in my driveway. Never met the guy who owned it, time got to him before he got time for the car. His widow was glad to see it go. Four months later I had it on the road.
So I will be asking some questions from time to time and any help from you guys would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Hello! I am new to the group
Welcome to forum Paul. Sounds like a sweet find and until we see pics, for all we know, you may be just telling a tall tale to make a bunch of folks jealous.

Re: Hello! I am new to the group
I do have pics, and the car, Honestly! I sent a pic to the webmaster here. He e-mailed back saying he is a little behind due to work. So be patient. Don't piss off your webmaster, or I suspect your car photos will change to picures of a Yugo!

Re: Hello! I am new to the group
Ahh, but you can upload pictures to the forum yourself, you do not need the Webmaster!!
Once you hit "post reply" under the text box, you can browse and add a file. Just keep it pretty small.
Easy, peasy- pictures pleasy!!
