Ah, so there's still hope for me! Good to know I can still play at this table. I'm starting to look for vehicles, and I'll keep you all posted on potentials that I'm interested in. Travel'n Man, that is one nice Z in your signature!

I believe the supercharger was an aftermarket addon. My friend purchased the car with it on already. The previous owner must have had fun with it, because the motor was pretty burned up. I remember racing in the streets with that thing and it would leave a smoke cloud so big, James Bond would have been proud.

First off, thanks to all who have responded so far, the information provided is really helpful, and I appreaciate the time spent to respond in such detail. To clarify my goals, I'm looking for a "b" in Carl's list, a good, drivable weekend car that I can incrementally improve, as time and money permits. I'm not a perfectionist, but place importance on the fundamentals: straight, solid body, and strong mechanicals (motor, tranny, suspension). With regards to budget, I'm open to laying out 3-6k for the initial purchase. The only other requirement is California specific, as I am interested only in those years of the Z that are smog exempt. Honestly, I'm not experienced with Z's to know if my expectations match the money I'm willing to commit to this, so let me know if what I have is a pipe dream or something that can be realistically achieved. Thanks all!

Hey, just joined a couple of days ago and wanted to introduce myself. I am not yet a proud owner of a Z, but do intend to own one soon. Like a lot of folks here, my first exposure to the Z happened back in high school, where one of my friends had a black 240Z, supercharged....I was hooked from day 1. Fast forward 20 years, through college, work, marriage, and kids and I still have that Z in my head. Now I'm ready to buy, and would sure appreciate any help and advice. Thanks!
