I just picked up my first Z today. It is a 1970 240Z with a 280ZX Turbo engine and 5 speed transmission. Though she needs a bit of work, she's fun to drive. Posted a couple of pics for your viewing enjoyment... BTW, anyone know a good source for high torque starters?

Hey, I just picked up my first Z yesterday- a 1970 240Z with a 280ZX Turbo motor and 5-speed transmission. Looks like it will be a bit of work, but even now its a blast to drive. I attached some pictures- let me know what you think!

Actually, I'm from northeastern NY, and hardly ever use A/C; I love the open air feeling. Speaking of which, was it only the 280z's and later that had T-tops?

Thanks guys, you've all been really helpful. I've been trying to search for fuel economies for these cars, but it is very difficult to find. Dogma, you say your 240 gets 25 mpg max. Do the fuel injected Z's and ZX's do any better?

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum, but have much experience working on cars. This week, my car was totalled, and I am now in the market for a new car. I've always been interested in Z cars and now is my chance to get one. I need something that will be reliable as a daily driver, but still fun to drive and autocrossable. I'm also looking for decent fuel economy. My top choices are as follows: 240z 280zx 280zx Turbo Which of the above would give me the best reliability/fuel economy? Thanks for your input.
