1971 240Z owner

[BurnOutMaster]

Hi my name is Vernon. I live in southern Caifornia. A few years back my dad gave me his 1971 240Z. It was sitting in the garage with a broken transmission. It's orange with molded fender flares and 5 slot mags, 14x6.5 rear with 245/60/14 and 14x6 front with 205/60/14. I'm not the kind of guy to make a show car out of anything cause I like to drive to much. I can't see chipping a $5000.00 paint job so I just don't get them. Currently I'm tearing the car down to repair rust spots and rebuild the motor and trans. I will try to post picks soon. Till then, thanks for having me.

Welcome to the site. Better beef up that drivetrain if your true to the name. These cars were not designed for drag racing

welcome to this site, and good luck with your project! This is a great site for advise and network. I have been meaning to go treasure hunting around your area, since I live in Pomona, it would not be too far. Do you have any local pick up a parts/junkyards in your area? keep us posted on your progress, and post pics as soon as you can!

Welcome. I used to visit the junkyards up that way when I did more junkyarding than I do now. There's the Ecology Auto in Adelanto on Alden Rd. off Hwy 395, the Pick a Part in Hesperia on Sante Fe Rd. off Bear Valley Rd., and the Pick and Pull on Gasline Rd. in Victorville near George AFB. I also lived in Pomona for about 15 years.
