What is done to this thing? It is just gorgeous, I still haven't stopped hyperventilating and I saw this picture like 6 hours ago. And I just can't stop staring at it.......WOW!!! Im sorry for the gay excitement but I can't contain myself.

the car loos pretty much stock except for the pansport rims, air dam and rear spoiler.. oh yeah it looks lowered too.. bot those early 240Zs are just beautiful... im planning on getting me a 70-73 240 for my next project. the diffrenct on the exterior fom the early Zs are the bumpers.. the 240Zs have the real thin front and rear bumpers while the 260 and 280zs have the acordian style bumpers and they also have a diffrent tail light configuration...

this is one of my favorite 240Z

I will be finished with my 97-S14-KAT in early april so Im looking at a next project and took a shot at these cars and Im just blown away. That green one is amazing. I think Im sold, Now I just need to find one, ebay has some 240z going for 10K+ sick!! Im not looking to spend more than 2k.....the hunt is on....

i just found a 72 240Z in my city for $1000.. just needs a lil bit of work.. the body is straight with minimal rust... if i dont get it my best friend will most likely get it.. were both planning on building a 240

thats a 71.5-73, actually it could be a early 74 as well, early cars (70-71.5) did not have the "C" pillar vent, they had a Datsun Logo in that spot

I agree. I personally love the open Front end with no bumper - maybe a mesh grill or an intercooler showing for a turbo swap.

If you REALLY want a 280 in good condition or restorable condition, you'll look as far away as it takes. 600 miles obviously isn't far enough. You'd better be willing to travel for it.

Post by **f1seb** » Thu Mar 09, 2006 5:51 pm

Cmon guys, I've been looking at all the 1970-74 ones and if that's a stock looking one I can't find one that seems to match that cars look at all. They all seem to be different looking. Plus they're goddamn expensive too, everybody wants like 5k for theirs. Pain in the ***....damn that's a gorgeous car!!!!

Post by **evildky** » Thu Mar 09, 2006 6:10 pm

if your tlking about the black car it's got a bre style rear spoiler and a front aitdam (can't tell which one from pic) and some minilite knockoff wheels, if you want a decent car your gonna be looking at 2-3000 minimun and if you want something daily driver with decent paint then yyeah your looking about 5k, you might want to broaden your search to include 75-78 280Z, same chassis and bodypanels, the front parking lights were moved to the grill and the bumpers are bigger but you can smaller bumpers and early valance panels on if you like and you get fuel injection, personally not a fan of the SU's in any of their forms form 70-74.5

Post by **f1seb** » Thu Mar 09, 2006 9:07 pm

I was talking about the green one which I posted in the earlier posts. I went to the ZClub.net boards to find out and a guy who is friends with the owner of this vehicle doesn't want to give me know the information I want. And he wants to know why I'm inquiring about this car, I guess he's affraid that I will make an exact copy of it (Which I am!!).

Post by **evildky** » Fri Mar 10, 2006 9:05 am

this one?I thought it looked black, but thats the one I was talking about, 71.5-73 model with BRE spoiler Urethane airdam (can't tell which one from the angle of the pic) and minlite knock off wheels, rear sidemarkers have been removed and the mirrors are aftermarket, also thats a Right hand drivre car so it's not in the states

Post by **f1seb** » Fri Mar 10, 2006 2:53 pm

Yeah I noticed the right hand drive as well, and figured that out. The ZClub.net seems to be a european run Z message board. And actualy alot of them helped me out on what I wanted to know about that particular car, minus that one guy that I mentioned in my other post.
