Interesting car, was at Kissimmee end of 2012/early 2013, bid to $100k but didn't sell, then showed up again at the Dallas sale in September 2013, I think it sold that time but winning bid was shy of $100k.

Should this car have a wood grain in the center portion of the steering wheel? Also shouldn't it have a clock?

Looks very clean otherwise. A ton of white paint on the firewall, the most overspray I have seen. I wonder if it looked like that prior to the restoration?

And wood grain where the radio is as well? At least it doesn't look like wood grain there to my eyes.

What are the 2 stickers on the core support and fan shroud? I know one is the timing decal. What's the other one?

Charley, you a buyer, or checking it out for a friend?

Never seen an original Z with that much white on the firewall.  I have pics of mine before resto, and there was BARELY a mist beyond the parting line.
Original owner til 2009?   So, what did happen to the clock?   Maybe the gauges and console were added?  Lots of restorers take considerable poetic license.

Noticed Oklahoma tags on two of the "Donald Smith" collection cars, including this one.  I don't know who he is (not surprising, as I don't run in the circles with the big time collectors).   Anyone know anything about this collection, and where it is?
