This is my 1972 240Z I found it online after searching through hundreds of google results I saw the following photos in the classifieds of a fishing forum so I joined and replied to the ad. The gentleman replied with his phone number and after holding it for me for a couple of weeks we went up to San Jose to buy it. I wasn't able to bring it home just yet because the brake master cylinder needed replacing and it needed a tune up. My uncle who luckily lived in San Jose fixed it and we went back about a month and a half later to pick it up. This is the car back at home: I then took apart the interior and started to take off the factory insulation, I was glad to see that there was almost no rust. My neighbor who paints cars finished the rest and painted the interior with rustoleom. Right now I'm about to come back home from college so I'll finally be able to put in the insulation and finish up the interior.

I'm at UCSB too, I wouldn't mind checking out another Z if you're interested in meeting up. I've been reading up on the different motor swap options so I could offer some insight on the different options. I haven't seen a Z in a while especially because mine is at home. Here's a link to some pictures of mine. http://album.hybridz.org/showgallery.php?cat=695

Thanks guys. I don't plan to upgrade the engine for a while mainly because of two reasons, the car is fast enough for me right now, it has an l28 (it's my first car and the only other car I've driven is a Volvo 740 so there is nothing faster to compare it to), and I'm broke so any money I get will go to the suspension department. I would like to start going to the autox or track events just to have some fun and get to know how the car handles. It has fairly new kyb shocks and new tires so I think I can enjoy it like that for a while, at least until I start upgrading it. I'm still not sure what I want to do once I feel the need for more power, but it will be a while before I have the money for that. jmortensen I really like how your car looks in your sig pic, when I saw the pictures of my car when it was on sale it reminded me of your car, of course not quite as cool.

Hello everyone, my name is Edgar, I've been roaming the forum for a while and just thought I'd finally introduce myself. HybridZ is great and I've learned a lot just by searching. The Z bug bit me when I saw a 280z for sale at a junk yard, I had been searching for cheap sports cars that was rwd and I hadn't found one I liked until I saw the Z. I found my Z for sale on a fishing forum after pages and pages of google results. It is a 1972 240Z that is in pretty good condition rust wise with only surface rust on the floorboards and rust in the battery box. I'm really glad I found this website because I know it will help me once I start modifying my car. Right now I'm in college but I'm going home in two weeks so I'll have one week to finish it up and bring it back with me. Here's a link to my to a couple of pictures of my car. http://album.hybridz.org/showgallery.php?cat=695
