Damn, your pops ride is sick! Make sure you tell me next time he takes it to RA!

In the first pic of yours, is that some shadows on the side or was the paint different shades like that?

Awesome 73'

I too had a 72' 240z. mine was burnt orange though and a stock engine. I always wanted weber carbs but at 16 you don't have much money. The stock SU's suck balls.. i was always fiddling them and adjusting the points!

Bad ass rides none the less!

Yea SU's do kinda suck. But I think the worst were the hitachi's, they were junk! I will have another one some day.

Yes! the hitachi's were on the 260z correct? I had also had a 74 260z......... pile oh crap.

I would like to get one as well someday. it's just so hard to find a clean one without paying an arm and a leg. A few years ago i ran across
a blue 1970 240z fairlady. It was rhd and pretty clean. They wanted 5 grand for it and at the time i though it was too much. Now, i keep kicking myself in the ass for not buying it.

Yea that would have been a steal! I think you know a guy that had one/still has it. I looked at a gray 77 280z up there, I was tempted, but it was a little too far torn apart for my liking. I think all 260/280z's were fuel injected and only the 240's were carb'd. The deals are still out there, but they are getting a little few and far between these days.

I'd like to find one too. I'm just looking for that guy who has a clean 240Z that would sell it for a fair price to a guy who will love it as much as he does and more.
I had a roommate back in the day(1990) in Tulsa who had a silver 240Z and it was clean and bad ass. I fell in love with those cars because of his car. He drove the hell out of it.

$6500.00 seems a bit steep. I hope he gets it though. I would like to above $7000.00 for mine, some day, but not any day soon.
