My brothers '72 240z. That thing was badass!!! I'll have to get my brother to find pics of it. When he was in high school('81-85) the Z went through 4 or 5 different paint jobs. I remeber the Candy Apple metallic red(absolutely beautiful!), Root Beer metallic brown(I never was a big brown fan, but my brother knew a professional painter, and had him paint a circus mural on the hood), then it ended up Midnight Black, and stayed that way, until now.
The Z had the straight 6(I always considered it a slant 6) with a Weber dual/progressive carb setup. It sat in my moms backyard for years, and my brother tried to sell it to me for $3000(not running), when I was 16. I told him no(Been kicking myself in the ass ever since), and my mom ended up selling it for $500, to get it out of her back yard!!!
At the time she wouldn't let me buy it for $500, because I still lived at home, and she was trying to get it out of the yard completely.
If anyone knows who the Wizard of Z is, supposedly he had pitcures of my brothers Z in his shop.
350Z.. too sexy and sleek.. something about them that drives a grown man to weep and bow down... That and a white or black one with a veilside body kit and Andrews F Rims.. *SPOOGE*
I LOVE the 90's 300z TTTT as someone else pointed out earlier. I want that as my next car but I am now getting side tracked by an rx-7. Anyhoo, #1 is the 96' 300z and #2 is the 350z.
The original 240/Fairlady. Pre 1974. Why? They are now 30 years old and finally totally exempt from CARB rules. That means those of us in Cali can mod them any way we want and don't have to answer to the smog ****s. The early/mid 70s were a generally miserable era for good cars. The 240 is one of the very few good cars that were sold in enough quantity in the US for there to be a good supply of old ones and parts at a reasonable price.
There is a guyin my home toen with an actual right hand drive 240 z, plate says JAP Z fairlady on it and homeboy on teh right. Awesome.
Ive thought about picking one up once my Focus is paid off and I have money to dedicate to it.Where woiuld you look? Most online used car searchs dont go back far enough. Id get a Z or like my dad a 72 Celica ST.
Two of the best looking cars EVER
Old thread i know, but I picked up a 81 280zx last week from a friend of my cousins. 2 seater, 5 speed blue, engine and tranny run super smooth and its already been debadged. He just wanted it out of his driveway so i gave him $50 and i drove it home with the title
funny this was mentioned , i used to have a 90 2+2 na 300zx wich was a complete piece of crap. i still like z32's but their more for people that are financially secure. id rather have a 240z 260z or 280z (not the zx) the datsun 510s are awesome little cars. i like nissan , i like what they've done with the new Z real cool stuff
