Hey all, I hope this evening finds you all well. I recently came into ownership of a 1970 240Z, I know absolutely nothing about these cars so I figured I'd join and learn something. I'm used to messing around with Chevy V-8's and so on, so this is entirely new territory for me.

I plan on using the search function so I don't annoy you guys with questions you've all heard a thousand times before. At the end of the day though, there will be questions... several, I'm sure:)

Here are some pics, she needs a lot of work, but I plan on taking my time so no worries there. Time is certainly not of the essence.

Yep, ton of work to be done.

Hi, Casino. Welcome to the board!

Your car looks pretty good for what is obviously a survivor. It appears to be a '71, '72, or possibly a '73, rather than a '70. Nonetheless, you'll enjoy your efforts to bring her back. We all wish you great success.

Welcome, also.

Not a 73 by the front bumerette / bumper.

Welcome to the group! Looks like a great start to a project.

My guess is a '71 or later Z based on vents and steering wheel. What's the date of manufacture stamped on the plate on the driver's door opening?

Congratulations

Serach and ask away...I like to read new owner threads, sometimes it helps me too. Congrats on the purchase, if you are thinking of dropping a Chevy motor it Hybridz is the place to go for questions on that as this board is more a purest's site.

Thanks for the welcome all. I'll definitely double check the year. As I was saying, I'm a total novice to the Z series, always liked 'em, just knew/know pretty much nothing about 'em. Oddly, a family friend just gave it to us out of the blue. Wife be damned, there was no way I could turn down a piece of automotive history. I'm looking forward to learning as much as possible.

Thanks again!

Thanks for that heads up, it's a 1971. We're in the process of getting all new paperwork for it right now, the original owner had pretty much nothing.
