Alex 240Z

I will be checking under my sheets before I go to sleep tonight !!!

You Got It The 40+ crowd are buying the new T-Birds . The PT Cruisers they could not build them fast enough the first two years!!! You think for all the hula baloo the would come out with one smashing ad campaign especially to get them back in the market not alone on top!!!!!!!!!! just my thoughts !!!!!!!!

Shortest ad I have ever seen !!!! I was a little bit let down !!!! Hoping to first see the old 240Z and flash to the new 350Z but I guess I do not work for an ad agency either !!!!!!!

Early congradulations on the future article in Sport Z magazine!!! Restoration advice on the 240Z and the not-so-obvious pitfalls!! They even metioned Mikes name and put the club name and the internet address in!!! Could be getting a few new members !!!!! Mike how come you did not let us know about the possible article and I will be looking foward to seeing it hopefully in the Winter issue

One more view and that's it !!!! Last post for me on this topic and thanks for any help in advance !!!!!!

This is the way mine looks not the same as yours Laffeaux is this over-rider for a Z or not??:: :This is problem is driving me nuts !!!!! :stupid:

So You are saying there are two bolt holes per side? Plus it seems that these sides are curved not L shaped .:stupid:

Maybe this picture will show the two holes I am talking about on each side of the front bumper over-rider. Promise this will be the last time I will bring up this topic !!!!! Thanks for the help in advance !!!!!

Hate to be a pain in the butt !!! I just need some closure. The front bumper over -rider measures approx 30 inches c to c but there are two mounting holes on each side of the over-rider. Has any one seen that type I am sure now that it is for a 73 240Z and maybe early 74 260z

I just do not know how some one can bid so much on a car without physically inspecting it? For that price the car better be perfect !!!! I would like to drive it once and make sure everyting is there and works to perfection. Last year I saw a 1970 240Z original tires only thing the rear carpet showed a little faid and they were asking $15,000 and that was at a classic car dealership on consigment and that car was previously stored in a heated an a/c garage.

2Many and V8 I have come to the decision: My bumpers are in very good shape and I do like the way the car looks without them so why would I drill holes in perfectly good bumpers to put these things on!!!! To bad I had to buy them before I decided not to use them.. :stupid: :stupid:

Thanks V8-240Z Thanks exact and to the point : So I can use the rear over-rider but not the front:

Thanks for the quick response 2ManyZs Just one more thing the front bumper over-rider attaches to the bumper guards themselves. So both the front and rear bumpers need holes to be drilled in them. How do you feel about the look of the bumper over-rider and do they really protect the car? Thanks for the info in advance !!!

Are bumpers for 1972 and 1973 240Z exactly the same? The reason why I am asking would a bumper over-rider kit from a 73 240Z fit on a 72 240Z? That is a kit for front and rear bumpers.

Gee it is nice to have money !!! Let's see? How many 240 and 260 and 280Z's can we get for $60,000 big ones !!!!! :cry: :

ROFL He looks like he has never been !!!!! Real nice AVATAR !!!!!!! DATSUN 76

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
