Congrats on getting it back - and in apparently driveable condition as well.
The typical recovered vehicle is never in very good shape. Years ago a guy I
worked with had his pristine '78 (?- that first yr of Finj) 280Z stolen from
his garage. Oddly enough, the only thing they stole from inside his house was
some silky bikini underwear of his!!! (don't know & don't WANNA know) When it
was recovered, both the body and the engine were toast as somone took it for
a *serious* joyride. It was a total loss. (No, his skivvies were never
recovered.........)
I think everyone here on the list can keep an eye out for any tops for sale
from shady characters - I hate to see what happens when some un-knowing idiot
thinks he's gonna make a $ off of one of our fellow list members ! (Visions
of a dark shady field in the middle of nowhere - a circle of roadsters with
their parking lights on... poor bastard in the middle... sorta "old south
KKK-ish" thing <G>)
Anyhoo... I guess it's a good reminder to ID mark various parts of our cars.
