I did do some minor "upgrades" (radio, carburetors, spoiler) on my Z when new, but I at least saved most of the old stuff, which is now expensive/hard to find. So I'll save a little money on the restoration. ( I even have the original Monroney window sticker, which they tell me will be a big hit at the club events.) So save everything.
Unfortunately the cost of the restoration is about the cost of a new 370Z, which is why I'm still a wannabe. Maybe next year...
Keep your Z forever. You will be glad you did.

Nice Z seeing an older Z makes me wish I kept my hand me down 82" 2+2 T-Top 280Z. Stupid that I gave it away for free. It still ran like a champ and had maybe 90K miles on it.
