Alex 240Z

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 !!!!!

Nice Z sure wish I would have searched a little harder too !!!! But when you get the ZFever !!!!!! That's it !!!! Good luck !!!! and Enjoy the Ride !!!!!!!!!!!!

Peace and Love this car came out of the sixty's !!!!! You wouldn't catch me in that car even if I was stuck in the desert !!!!!!!

Thanks for the information I am ashamed to say I have been paying over $400 big ones a year my online quote withe Hagerty is $71.00 What's up with that !!!!!!

I am having the same problem with this thing popping up tooo!!! At least it isn't some type of virus !!!!!

Nice Z and definitely good things come to those who wait !!!and good luck !!!!! and of course "Enjoy the Ride"

Thanks for the diagram !!!! Appreciate all the help !!!! Take care and G-day mate !!!!

I definitely like the t-shirt with small logo in front and larger logo in back. Maybe we could use the saying "Enjoy the ride " or another Z saying !!!!! I know colored tee shirts are expesive but maybe we could have a poll for color of tee shirt !!!!
