Hello Z people!

I am 18 years old and before falling for Z's. I was a Muscle car fanatic, My summer job was restoring them (Chevlles, Impalas, ect.) and my father owned a '70 GTO which I absolutely loved!

I moved to Milwaukee this past September for college, and a newly acquired friend was a die hard import man. Hanging with him opened me up to the world of imports in general, then one day I saw a 240z in a magazine of his and it was love at first sight. I still have a placed reserved in my heart for American muscle but for now I want a 240z as a project incredibly bad.

The search continues for a good project car and my funds grow!

Would love to have one for summer so I can work on it.

Welcome to the disease. 240Z is the way to go. Enjoy the journey, but beware of the tin worm .

Sorry to hear of your affliction-and I think you might need a larger jar.

Have fun in the search and hold out for a car in good condition. The more you read on this site, the more informed you will be when the time comes to pull the trigger, (um...if we're still allowed to use that expression).

No doubt you've got the bug. Take my advice, and plan on a trip to California to get a rust-free car. Take a look at Craigslist and eBay out west and you will see that good cars go for less money than here in the midwest. It will be a trip of a lifetime, and the car will cost much less in the long run. Enjoy the ride!

Joey,

Welcome to the board and congratulations on starting your Datsun fund! I worked a second job on the weekends and sold stuff I didn't need to save for my Z. As mentioned above, fairly rust-free Z's can be found in the Midwest, but they generally cost more than those from the Western states. This is a great place to ask questions and learn about Z's while you're saving.
