Alex 240Z

Nice Z Like the color!!! Even when its parked it looks like it is going fast !!!! Congradulations on the award!!!!! Nice job with the car!!!! Is the rear spoiler stock and the front air dam is which one from msa ??and last question are those stock rims !!!!! Some polish job !!!! And I know you " Enjoy The Ride"

ARE 1970,1971,1972,1973, and early 260Z front and rear bumpers exactly the same? The reason why I am asking is because I purchased front and rear bumper over-rider bars off ebay and on first inspection they do not look like they will fit my 72 240Z !!!! And after looking at them I think I like the way my car looks without them!!!! They are in excellent condition but they just do not look like they will fit ,plus would I have to drill holes in my bumper to install them??? I that is true I just wasted about $60.00 bucks plus shipping !!!! :stupid: :stupid: :stupid : :stupid: :stupid: Thanks Alex 240Z

I agree !!! The stock Z is the best !!! That's the car I fell in love with in 1970 while I was in the service !!!! Another 20 years or so there won't be many stock Z's left between the salvage and the sooped up ones!!! Good thing there are clubs like this !!!! That's more than my 2 cents!!!!!

One beautiful Z !!!! That car made my heart beat !! Felt like I was in Love again !!!! I saw a 70 240Z last year in that shape and they were asking $15,000 but that car had documented 37,000 miles. But to answer the question!! Reserve $10,000 big ones !!!!!!!

My 1972 240Z is stock except I put in new 70-71 carbs that I got from motorsport auto, and I do mean new they had found about 50 pair of new 70-71 su carbs and when I ordered rebuilt a year ago they offered me the new carbs for $200 more. Other wise my Z engine is 100% stock.

For the last few weeks I have been thinking of replacing mine with a K+N system too !!!! Did you get any prices on them yet !!!! If so let us know about what they go for !!!! I did put one in my 86 Nissan 4x4 and it did seem to give it a little more pep and that four cyclinder sure could use it . That one ran me 40 or so bucks at a discount auto parts center.

Luckily once I got her after the initial inverstment of new hatichi carbs $800 big ones new shocks all around and new plugs wires points and condensor for the initial $1100 dolars or so plus the car 3,000 I have been running an excellent daily driver for a year and could problem run for another year or two for hardly more money but I plan to do more work in the comminng year a brake upgrade some body work and fix some minor electrical work but I could definitely run her as is for two more years with little maintaince except the regular oil change or so !!!!!!! Love the 240Z and always plan to own one !!!!!!!!!!!

DATZUN sounds good to me and the 76 Z looks great too!!!!! What part of Florida ? I'm in West Palm Beach !!

Last week while driving my 72 240Z on I-95 in Florida a guy in a 65 convertible mustang gave me the thumbs up !!!!!!!!!!! I was shocked , a thumbs up from a guy driving an American car acknowleged my ZZZZ !!! It definitely sent chills up my spine and a grinn from ear to ear !!!!!!! Love the ride and definitely enjoy the ride !!!!!!!! HONK SOUNDS GOOD TO ME !!!!!!!

The photo was decieving I will be getting a digital camera sometime next week and I will take a picture of them but they are solid rims not hub caps!!!!!! If you get members photos up maybe you can see what I mean with the photo's of my 72 240Z Thanks, Mike!!!!!

Sorry Mike !!!! The picture on the last thread are the ones !!!! With the date on it 1/23/2000 !!! Let me know if you have any information on them ??? Thanks

Mike the rims on the 71 240Z you are doing the groud up restoration on !!!!! The black with silver rims !!!!

Mike on your 71 240Z what type rims are they I have the same ones and any information on them you have I would appreciate and I am missing the center inserts on the rear any ideas where I can get them !!!!!

I just like the original 240z shape over the 2+2 shape and when I shop for Z car I would only buy regular 240Z over a 2+2

Where are you located in Florida I live in West Palm Beach maybe I could come take a look at it !!!!!!! 1972 240Z

Eric are they new or what kind of condition are they in and how much are you asking for the pair ????

Today I was doing a little work on my tail lights which I am sill having problems to get working. Blinkers and brake lights work and there is no side marker lights either!! But I check under the rear carpet and checked my spair brand new 14 inch rim with Bridgestone tire could that be original !!!! Any ideas for the lights ??? What was the name and size of original 72 240Z tire and any ideas with the lights ????

Datsun 240Z and the Z stands for Zoooooom !!!!!!!!

Ouch !!! That hurts even though it is a zx I owned an 83 280ZX automatic for about four years ,I sold it about three years ago it was one the only Z that I owned that there wasn't a tear in my I when the new owner drove it away !!! All the others were either 240,260,280Z cars maybe thats why.

Congrats !!! on you graduation !!!!!! and of course take care and enjoy your Z!!!!! I am one of the old guys in the club and you could not believe the excitement when I saw the first Z brosure in 1970 I was in the service at the time and I have loved them ever since !!!!!! and from 1974 until now the car still gives me chills when I drive it and when I see a nice one on the road !!!!!! Good Luck !!!! and May all your Z dreams come true !!!

I can not help with the mirrors but I have say that is one nice ride and I think I would leave well enough alone you cannot improve on perfection !!!! That's my 2cents !!!! " Enyoy the Ride" and a nice one at that !

Boy !!!! You young guys sure are ambitious seems like a lot of work to me !!!! Good luck and Enjoy the Ride !!!!!! And that will be one more Z on the road and not in the crusher !!!!

May be you could post a few pictures of the car and am curious on how many miles the car has !!!!!
