Double wammy picture overload. Sorry for all those with dial up

My dad finally filled the dance card with a 73 240z with 42k miles. Now he has a 70, 71, 72 & 73 :) This car is awesome!!! All reciepts, original paint, interior etc. It's like new inside. Drives amazing. I even like the auto trans!!!!

Second set of photos is the Fairfax meet this past Sunday. Eiji Hosimi brought Hiro Hatanaka who was in town from Japan. Hiro is well known both here and Japan for being a premiere Z restorer, tuner etc.

Eiji also brought out his newest creation. A 280z with 240z rear end conversion, True JDM G nose kit and an incredibly clean L28 with slide valve carbs just like his orange 240z.

Thanks Brandon for posting the pics.......I don't even try. Remember I still set points (that tells you how much I know about electronics). But most of all thanks to Jeff Mader a super person and an outstanding member who made my silver 73 a reality. As soon as the Safari Gold 71 gets out of restoration, I'll do a "Final Four" with a thrown in 510 and a 300zx.I love the car Jeff!

I love the slide carbs! You knew this one was coming. Are those motorcycle carbs or something else? Do you know which model?

Great pictures!

They are slide valves. Don't know what kind. All I know is they probably cost almost as much as my car :) He has them on both his cars. This thing is truly amazing!!!! Notice the cad plated suspension components, cad fuel tank straps, and color matched gas tank to rear panel. I especially love the polished exhaust. The car is just as beautiful upside down as right side up!!!!! :)

Nice pics as usual Brandon. I think your dad is seriously afflicted with the Z-disease. There is no known cure. All we can do is keep his cars under observation! Congrats Guy!

comment_293609

Thanks Geez.....I really had to have a 73.......and silver is my favorite color....I'm pretty damned sure this is it! Guy

comment_293629

The attention to detail and workmanship on Eiji's car is fantastic! Still, that muffler is not really the style I like to see on Z cars. Can't please everyone though right?

I have to appreciate your 73. I might still have my bumper protectors on still but one of them is a little tweaked. I actually like the look of the 73 bumper without the bumperettes. The twin vertical exhaust looks great, a very clean look.

Seeing some truly well done Z's gives us all something to work toward.
