I like the color, but my favorite pic is the interior. The iconic Z dash, a worn steering wheel and shift knob, and the key in the ignition seems like an old friend saying, "Let's go for a ride!" Definitely has the "cool factor." Congrats.

Thanks for the reply and the tips. It gets really hot here - 90++, so I have been thinking about some options: a new radiator, an electric pusher fan, and/or adding vents to the hood.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm in Grand Terrace. If you hear of any Datsun gatherings in the area, please let me know. SBlake, Any plans for your next Z?

Picked up a 74 260Z 2+2 a couple weeks ago here in SoCal. I have owned a 78 280Z and a 90 300ZX, but this is my first 2+2. The car was in the same family for 36 years and I'm hoping to enjoy the car for many years, too. The car has an L28 and carbs from a 240. Runs pretty well although I can practically watch the gas gauge go down. Lights weren't working, but it just took cleaning the contacts in the switch. Still not sure about the dash lights. I also joined HybridZ and have been doing some research there. The main issue I see coming is overheating. The temp gauge climbed quite a bit in stop and go. I'll have to figure something out before the summer heat comes. I went to the swap meet in Eagle Rock, CA this morning and scored a couple interior pieces. I am looking forward to Datsun gatherings in SoCal. Hope to see some of you there. I'll be in the blue 260 2+2.
