My '71 240z!

This is my 240z. She is an 1971 so she doesn't need smog, so I removed all the emissions equipment day 1. Sadly this car is also kind of shared too, haha, my dad and I did all the work, him teaching me along the way. He put a lot into this car too so I consider it just as much his as it is mine.

As Purchased:

I got it for $1000, primer yellow, running, but barely, not drivable. Completely stock as far as I can recall. Needed a lot of cleaning up but was not necessary to do a hard core, tear it all out and start from scratch restoration. Oh yeah, and it came with some beat up classic Recaro seats!

This is after we already did alot of mechanical work and swapped rims
