hey

im Johnny

im pretty convinced that the next car for me is either a 70-78 240z or a 280

i love the looks of the 240, whenever i see one i just find myself drooling over it, and i've done that since i was about 6 years old when my dad bought my brother a 280 for his 16th birthday and then my dad sold it to someone else (which highly pissed my brother off) and ever since then i have wanted one.

i've done some research on them so far and im not stranger to manual chokes, no p/s, and letting it warm up before you drive it. so i wont mind that so much

as of now my car is a 1996 ford probe se. its kind of riced out, fwd, but it does handle like a dream, which is about the only plus it has, it has no power, its a total jerk to work on, and stuff breaks on it all the time. so i basically hate it

after i get a few thousand saved up i hope to find a nice z around here for 4-6k

thanks in advanced

Well welcome to he Site . You will find that there is a wealth of info to draw from here. Keep in mind you are looking at a old car in the cars you mentioned. When you are driving a 30+ year old car there is a constant maintenance that must be done. If you think your present car is hard to work on , you will find these cars not that friendly in that regard. I, like you, love the style of the early Zs . I suggest that you look for the most rust free Z that you can find. This will save you big bucks if you can. All the best , Gary

thanks

i was wondering how the 240 handles becouse the probe handled great (for fwd) and after driving a 944 today i want one of those (it handled better than any other car i have ever driven). then while i was at the junkyard today i saw an early 70's 240 and i love the looks of it. so im kind of torn now
