First Car: 1972 240Z

Featured Replies

This is one of my first posts on this forum so I figured I'd start it off with pictures. Sorry for them all being of the right side, it's all I have on my computer at the moment. Trust me, the left side looks just as nice...All of these were shot in Steamboat Springs, Colorado where I have been living the past 2 years and where I also bought the car. How it got up there I have no idea, but I've since moved so don't worry about any winter driving!

This is my first car, took me 3 years but I finally bought one

I bought this car last year in late September/Early October with 83,550 miles for $3,250.00. It came with all of the original parts plus the huge list of performance everything, though little was known about the car and much of the performance parts are still unknown/un-named until I can look into them further. So far I've spent less than $200.00 in getting it tuned up and looking nice. I have loved early Z's since I first laid eyes on them (12 years old looking in Want Ad Digests) so when this came in the local paper in Steamboat Springs listed as "1972 240Z, looks clean, drives nice, make offer" I had to check it out. As it turns out it was a lot more than a clean, nice driver...

Congrats and welcome to the forum. Look like a nice find. Let's see some more pics!

what a great find. you hit a home run with that one. i would gladly give you your money back if you decide to let it go.:) you have one sweet z there.

Pictures of the engine bay will come in less than 2 weeks, I'm at home waiting to head back out to Colorado and can't wait to get back in this thing.

What a beautiful car. And what an excellent deal! I like to subtle body mods. It look great!
