   I've had a '75 280Z for about 13 years. Pretty much stock except for a slightly built up engine. Just recently was gifted with a '73 240Z donor car. Had been parked in the bushes since '91. Took 6 hours of straining to get it on the trailer 'cause the left rear brake was frozen. The car has lots of rust but a fair amount of usable stuff on it. I pulled the transmission for my own use but anyone is welcome to the carcass. It does roll now, since I yanked the drum off with a puller. Contact: david_e_98225@yahoo.com Dave

   I just bought a '74 260Z from Arizona a few weeks ago that has been sitting for a while. It currently has an L26 and 4 speed that's not running and has the dreaded flattop carbs on it. I plan on putting an L28 with '71 S.U. carbs and a 5 speed from a '77 Z. I look foward to using this forum and getting this Z up and running soon. As you can see from the photos, I've got some work to do...

   Hello everyone! I just recently purchased the car of my dreams, a 1974 260z. Now i'm here. Most people don't appreciate the Z car tradition, so I figured a Z car forum would. This is my second car. My first was a 1981 Accord hatch. It was a very cool car, but my new one is way cooler. so, about my car. It has a 4 speed, all stock engine, still has the cat, has an HKS Ti Hi power muffler that I put on, and an aftermarket bodykit that I am selling. The only problem with the car is the driver side fender, headlight bucket, and the front bumper is broken (fiberglass.) The thing that was coolest about the car is that I got it for 600 dollars, and drove it home. Well, let me kn…

   Just came across this great site the other day and thought I should join. I'm on my second '78 with a long span of years in between. I haven't seen many older Zs in my area and most folks look like I told them I just had dinner with Elvis when I try to explain my passion for the Z. Good to see so many people passionate about the Z in one place.

    Greetings, My name is Luis. I co-own a 1976 280-Z-2+2. I've owned this Z-car for about 5 years. It has spent about 3.5 years in shops for vairous stages of restoration. All in all it was worth the wait, because this Z is a real head turner and has won some awards.

    Well, I still haven't had a chance to post some pics of my car, and the following story is why: I posted a month ago about the experience I've had with my recently purchased, beautifully restored, highly modified '73 240Z. If you'd like a refresher, here it is: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20909&highlight=help%2Finput Please read it before you continue. I tried one last attempt to get the mechanic to respond to me and complete the project at the end of March. I wrote a very concise list of my grievances and demanded to know when he would complete the car. Well, once again, he would not give a completion date. Until yesterday (5/3/06), I ha…

    Hello fellow Zcar owners and greetings from sunny Bremerton, Wa. Many of you have probably already noticed that I am a new comer who would like to meet new friends who I can chat with and hopefully exchange ideas with about Zcars. My name is Oscar Esteban. I own a '78 280Z which my brother and I are currently trying to restore. We are hoping that we can get some help from experts out there who could share their expertise on how we can facilitate its restoration. I am glad to be a part of this club. Oscar

    Just brought her home two days ago, has been sitting in a garage for 3 years with half a tank of gas in her. I guess we can call it turpintine now, huh? Looking forward to visiting your site alot in the next few months. Had a 75 280z up in Alaska in the late 70's and was a nice car. Not many roads then that could handle her. :p I am in Central WAshington state now and looking forward to restoring this one.
