Steve Parmley Posted January 8, 2014 Share #3 Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) Autocross in the late 80s at the Oakland Colesium and the De Anza autocross with my brother. The Scott Performance L28 when new. On the first picture you can see where I hit a cone and knocked half the Datsun emblem off and the magnetic F in FP askew.

Mikes Z car Posted January 8, 2014 Share #6 Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) My first 240Z in 1979, an 8/1971. Had it about 3 years at this point. Already had painted it back to the original orange with imron. Still remember where the rust was that I fixed with the first body work I attempted, used rad iator hose with sandpaper wrapped around it for the wheel arches. Good running car. Dyno'd at some point at 121 HP (all stock). I'd take this one back in a minute. Edited January 8, 2014 by Mikes Z car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean240Z Posted January 8, 2014 Share #7 Posted January 8, 2014 I've owned my 240Z for 23yrs (it was my first car). Here's the Auto Trader ad from 1991 that led me to my 240Z: Here's my 240Z as it looked before it was lowered, side molding removed, front airdam added, new hood, early 240Z front bumper swapped, painted and new 16" wheels added: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLPurcell Posted January 8, 2014 Share #8 Posted January 8, 2014 This picture was taken on my 20th birthday at my brothers house in Boston, IN. We had owned the Z for less than a year at that time. Good old polaroid camera! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLPurcell Posted January 8, 2014 Share #9 Posted January 8, 2014 This is my racing kart taken in 1971. The Kart was a Hornet Sidewinder with a Comet K88 125CC engine running alcohol. This is my 00029 Z, I believe taken in 1978 at IRP Campaign Sprints. Note the flower shirt and bell bottoms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
