Hello fellow Z enthusiasts,

My name is Keith Johnson. I am from central Ohio, and I own a 1970 240z. It is my second Series 1 z car. (My first was back in the '70s.) As for this one, I'm the third owner, however, the second owner only had the car for a few months before I purchased it (so I think of myself as "essentially" the second owner). The original owner had it for 40 years, but parked it in 1974 with only 52K miles on it. Being from Ohio it has some rust issues, and I think that's why the original owner parked it. (He had even purchased new fenders that he never installed.) It has had some amateur body work on the rear wheel arches, and the fenders have some rust. I got it running over the summer and I am having the body professionally restored over the winter. I'm looking forward to the online friendship, advice and camaraderie of the classiczcars nation.

Welcome Keith,

Sounds like you're on the right path. Is it a low vin 70'? What's the VIN?

Have you registered in on http://zhome.com/ ? We try and get as many Z owners as possible to let us know what they have, it's current state and that it still exists for the world to appreciate.

Where abouts in Ohio? You may have a couple neighbors here.

Great to have ya,

Dave

Keith,

Welcome to the site - be sure to use the search feature. Get some pics up when you can!

Thanks Dave and Mitchell. My z is #4642, which I was pretty happy with until I read about Alex's FREE #979! I have not registered at zhome yet, but I will.

Wow, a 70 parked in 74 and eaten up with rust? That certainly is what NISSAN was after. Cars that disappeared in relatively short order.

Welcome.

Congratulations on your acquiring of that Z!

Welcome to the forum and best of luck with the cars.

Thanks Dave and Mitchell. My z is #4642, which I was pretty happy with until I read about Alex's FREE #979! I have not registered at zhome yet, but I will.

HAHA! I didn't know I was going to get it either. Yours is still a great find!!!

Don't forget. I got the 72' for Free last April.

Free Z's are awesome.!!!!

Dave

You guys with your free Zs must be living right! Keep up the good work.

Why doesn't my profile photo appear next to my name like everyone else? I have uploaded the photo and I see it when I edit my profile.

I figured it out.

Looks like ya got it. The Free 72' was an interesting deal, to say the very least.

Here's a thread on it (6 pages) but good info.

And here's my Cardomain Page on the "Green Bean"

The cardomain pages have the rest of the pics to see the final product. Not too bad for only $1800 into it. and sold it for $3800.
