Alex 240Z

My last name is Alex and I have a 240Z 1972 to be exact ,nothing, to imaginative !!!!! But I too !!!!!! Love My Zeeeee !!!!!! :love:

Datsun 76 You put two nice cars out there I wish I would of joined the club and then looked for a Z two nice cars with plenty of potential !!!!! I 'm down here in Florida and about a year and a half ago jumped on the first decent 240Z I saw !!!! You know when the Z-fever hits!!!! If look at either one I would be tempted and my wife would definitely leave me !!!!!! Point is take your time and you can definitely find a nice Z at a fair price!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOTHINGS SACRET JUST ANOTHER INVASION OF MY PRIVACY!!!!!

Thanks that made my day I truly needed a laugh !!!!! Florida has plenty of JD's luckily I do not have one for a nieghbor !!!!!

WELL THAT IS ONE QUICK FIX THAT HAS GOTTEN BY ME !!!!! I GUESS THAT IS ONE OF THE BENIFITS OF BEING A MEMBER OF THE CLASSIC ZCAR CLUB !!!!!!

ONE QUESTION ???? WHERE DO YOU GET THIS STUFF ???? I AM SURE I CAN FIND A USE FOR IT. IS IT EXPENSIVE ??? THANKS IN ADVANCE :bunny: :bunny:

I'd be a five !!!!! Fifty-three to be exact !!!! And I am glad to see there are some fives and even a few six's, us old guys need to stick together Alex 240Z

In 1974 after I got out of the service I purchased a new 260Z Emerald Green exterior with light tan interior . It was one of the most gorgeous and it was one quickest and smooth running Z's I have ever owned but in 1975 traded for a 76 280Z Copper brown color with tan interior. That car could run, in fact while racing a Camaro Z28 on the interstate in Texas I snapped the speedometer cable and definitely beat the Chevy. I 've owned several other 280Z's and appreciated them and loved driving them as any 240Z I've owned and there has been quite a few but out of all the Z cars I wish I could have the 74 260Z emerald green back and still be driving it now!!!!!!!!!!!! To me that was the Z that got away!!! :cry: Alex 240Z

Thanks for the information!!! Tommorrow I will try to attach some photo's !!!! In the future I will ask before I buy!!!! When you see a nice part they are just hard to resist!!!!! But the more I think about it, the more I like my car with out them!!!! Now I just want to be sure what year Z they will fit!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS !!!!! ALEX 240Z

Nice Z Like the color!!! Even when its parked it looks like it is going fast !!!! Congradulations on the award!!!!! Nice job with the car!!!! Is the rear spoiler stock and the front air dam is which one from msa ??and last question are those stock rims !!!!! Some polish job !!!! And I know you " Enjoy The Ride"

ARE 1970,1971,1972,1973, and early 260Z front and rear bumpers exactly the same? The reason why I am asking is because I purchased front and rear bumper over-rider bars off ebay and on first inspection they do not look like they will fit my 72 240Z !!!! And after looking at them I think I like the way my car looks without them!!!! They are in excellent condition but they just do not look like they will fit ,plus would I have to drill holes in my bumper to install them??? I that is true I just wasted about $60.00 bucks plus shipping !!!! :stupid: :stupid: :stupid : :stupid: :stupid: Thanks Alex 240Z

My 1972 240Z is stock except I put in new 70-71 carbs that I got from motorsport auto, and I do mean new they had found about 50 pair of new 70-71 su carbs and when I ordered rebuilt a year ago they offered me the new carbs for $200 more. Other wise my Z engine is 100% stock.

For the last few weeks I have been thinking of replacing mine with a K+N system too !!!! Did you get any prices on them yet !!!! If so let us know about what they go for !!!! I did put one in my 86 Nissan 4x4 and it did seem to give it a little more pep and that four cyclinder sure could use it . That one ran me 40 or so bucks at a discount auto parts center.

Luckily once I got her after the initial inverstment of new hatichi carbs $800 big ones new shocks all around and new plugs wires points and condensor for the initial $1100 dolars or so plus the car 3,000 I have been running an excellent daily driver for a year and could problem run for another year or two for hardly more money but I plan to do more work in the comminng year a brake upgrade some body work and fix some minor electrical work but I could definitely run her as is for two more years with little maintaince except the regular oil change or so !!!!!!! Love the 240Z and always plan to own one !!!!!!!!!!!

DATZUN sounds good to me and the 76 Z looks great too!!!!! What part of Florida ? I'm in West Palm Beach !!

Last week while driving my 72 240Z on I-95 in Florida a guy in a 65 convertible mustang gave me the thumbs up !!!!!!!!!!! I was shocked , a thumbs up from a guy driving an American car acknowleged my ZZZZ !!! It definitely sent chills up my spine and a grinn from ear to ear !!!!!!! Love the ride and definitely enjoy the ride !!!!!!!! HONK SOUNDS GOOD TO ME !!!!!!!

The photo was decieving I will be getting a digital camera sometime next week and I will take a picture of them but they are solid rims not hub caps!!!!!! If you get members photos up maybe you can see what I mean with the photo's of my 72 240Z Thanks, Mike!!!!!

Sorry Mike !!!! The picture on the last thread are the ones !!!! With the date on it 1/23/2000 !!! Let me know if you have any information on them ??? Thanks

Mike the rims on the 71 240Z you are doing the groud up restoration on !!!!! The black with silver rims !!!!

Mike on your 71 240Z what type rims are they I have the same ones and any information on them you have I would appreciate and I am missing the center inserts on the rear any ideas where I can get them !!!!!

I just like the original 240z shape over the 2+2 shape and when I shop for Z car I would only buy regular 240Z over a 2+2

Today I was doing a little work on my tail lights which I am sill having problems to get working. Blinkers and brake lights work and there is no side marker lights either!! But I check under the rear carpet and checked my spair brand new 14 inch rim with Bridgestone tire could that be original !!!! Any ideas for the lights ??? What was the name and size of original 72 240Z tire and any ideas with the lights ????

Datsun 240Z and the Z stands for Zoooooom !!!!!!!!
