Yea! Another girl!

The first Z I ever rode in belonged to a college friend in the apartment upstairs. Hers was a lime 240, just like yours. I hadn't appreciated just how cool those machines were until then.

Dang u swooped up a good z, and with good history.. yeah definately post pics when its complete im sure everyone could appreciate a series' 1 z and ur planning on keeping it the banana yellow right???

Nice find! That sounds like a familiar transition to me. The first car I bought in high school was my 70 Camaro. I sold the Camaro in 2006 when I finished college. The Z is great fun to drive. When I bought my car last year, it had also sat at least 10 years. The last tag said 1992! It needed a good amount of TLC but it's pretty reliable now, I think I've got the cob webs have blown out.

If there are cars that are good places to learn the mechanical side, it's a Chevy or Datsun. A 79 Chevy with all the smog equipment might be a little more intimidating but not a whole lot.

If there's advice I tell my friends about old cars, it's be patient and take your time! It takes some time for things to be sorted but the reward of enjoying the drive is totally worth it.

By the way, save those dealer plate frames!! I have the Vallejo Datsun bracket on my car and I believe that is where my car was originally sold. You'll be glad you saved them

Great find on your 240 and congrats.

I just picked up my 260 a few months ago and i was amazed to find one in canada with almost no rust, engine in perfect running condition and the interior amazing.

allways good to see new owners

Practically stole it for $500, and orig documentation! Jealousy is envy.
