Went for the "Z"
Recently did a couple of posts about cars, including RX7's, 240Z's, yellow Boxster, etc.
In the end, I found a super clean, rust free 1971 series 1 240Z. I paid a bit more than I budgeted, but came from a reputable local seller with a good history. Can't wait to start tinkering! I was really inspired by what this guy has done, but won't go this extreme. Love the sound! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EO2y_-vpolA Thanks for the input and suggestions in the other threads! -Bradhttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1423759371.jpg |
Congrats - love it

You did well! That's a sharp looker.
(The wheelwells will benefit from some sidewall, but you already know that!) |
Welcome to the Z car club! That's a nice looking Z. If you ever have any questions feel free to ask. I have a pretty good parts stash as well.

Nice car!! I had a green one with white script on the sill, My GF at the time asked why the car had 24 ounce on the side.
|
that's beautiful, enjoy.

Man, i've had so many of those, and my favorite was a pristine bright blue 71 240Z. The only reason I started with Porsches, is that finding a rust free -Z- is like winning the lottery. NICE RIDE !

A bit more on the Z. Unfortunately, it's not a full matching numbers car and has a later L28 motor. It drives well and is fairly fast. The stock SU carbs probably need an overhaul, but I score a deal on a set of triple webers. I may drop in another cam and will be adding headers and a different exhaust for sure. Interior is really clean as well. More pics to come! |
Nice. I love those cars.

Before I got my 1st Porsche, I drove a '78 280Z for many years. I had a lot of fun with it and spent way too much time and money on it. Kind of like on my 930 :)
Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of it before I sold it, but here's one of it with most of the work done. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1423767540.jpg |

saw this at a local country supermarket parking lot.
nasty little Z car. pure nasty. was impressed enough to shoot a bunch of still photos, a bit of video for the growl from side pipes, and even edit it down to a short video as seen here. I should of asked for a ride. https://vimeo.com/106936951 |
There must be something in the electrons around here because I find myself plotting one of these, soon:

Congrats! I had a 260Z, type A.
But only one pic? C'mon man. Talk about teasing people... |
Nice car!! That video seems to be good inspiration. Let the (tasteful) modifications begin!!
