Widebody 240Z

Please more information and pictures of this car...!

Or PM me I've just got the vision of how my Z is gonna look.

I bought this car from my good friend, Taylor, who owned it for 27 years! I have owned 1 240Z in my life, a bone stock silver 1971 240Z. I always wanted to own a V8 Datsun, but never got around to it, instead focussing on building and racing many 69-73 Camaros, and a 930 RUF Slantnose Turbo Porsche, to name a few.

My friend Taylor built himself a beautiful 930 slantnose and so his energies went away from the Datsun.

In a moment of weakness, I engaged in a 5 minute conversation, at the end of which I became the new owner...That was Nov 1, 2003.

Since then, I had the car repainted, ordered some new CCW rims, 18x13, 18x11.5, and am waiting for some Pirelli Pzero Rosso tires. The trans was screwed so I got a new iron case Super T-10. I thought about putting a Richmond 6 Speed in it but that would make it a near 200MPH car and I've already played around with a 200MPH car (the Ruf)...It's too fast, and I don't want to kill myself.

Anyway, as I get the car done I will post a ton of pictures as the car has a lot of neat features like a removable roof panel from a Porsche 944...Makes for great "open top" driving, coilover suspension,and of course, the Spectacular Small block Chev Engine, Roller cam, Brodix Track 1 Aluminum heads.

The goal: to embarrass all of the yuppies who spend big cash on their rides.

Just to let you know, I am a very working class guy who got lucky, made a little money and now can afford (barely) a few cars that I dreamed about as a kid.

I have to say that I love looking at all the pics of Z cars on this site...I think the 240Z is THE most significant AFFORDABLE sports car...I just HATE all the new Big dollar, Fu-Fu Retro cars being brought out to be bought up by rich yuppies...I'll take my cash, build this old '72 and KILL those guys.

P.S. I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

This will be a beautiful monster! I was in Germany 3 weeks ago and got to meet Mr and Mrs. Ruf and tour their facility. (We were doing an interview for a T.V. show). They had their latest blue 911 on display a GT2 and various older 911s. Some fun. On your car, I love the red, what is it called?

same as my Ruf was...Guards Red!...As I mentioned in an earlier post, I have a few cars that are red...I'm ready to go back to my favorite "Jet Black" on my next project.

Gorgeous, just gorgeous
